This is all so scary for all kids of all ages there. I hope that they get the pukes who are responsible. Has any of the kids taken so far been found? I know this is a long shot, but do you know anything more about that kid who broke into the zoo in Australia, and killed several reptiles? Sooooo sad that a KID would do that. Pretty messed up.

Yea, that has happened to me before too. Not sure why the icons aren't posted where they were meant to be at times. I am soooo relieved to hear that no children were actually taken (how did I miss that ?!?) they need to get this turd before he hurts any more children. Thanks for posting this, and for getting the word out. Hopefully someone there will see this, and spread the word to look out for this puke.
