Greetings All:
Yesterday, at some time after 2 AM EDT, my son, David, slipped out of the house and disappeared. It has been over 24 hours without word.
I am asking all of you, those I have flown against, those I have flown with and those that don't know me, to please pray and if you have any outlet to help, please do so.
Below is a picture of my son.
Please, please, please help if you can.
The Lord bless you and thank you.

Prayers for a safe return, Blammo.
-
Oh my, this is terrible.
Any news?
My thought is with you.
-
I cannot imagine what you're going through now and so I'll just say that I'm praying hard for him and for you.

Thread Needs to Be stickied...
I pray once more, and will pray tonight for his safe return.
-
I agreed. I know most aren't in Georgia, but I believe in prayer.
Sticky please?
-
Prayers are with you for a safe return.
-
Wish there was more we could do. :(
Hang in there, Im sure everyone and their brother is looking in the area - keep us posted please.
EDIT: I cross posted the story to a couple other boards I frequent - I know there are some locals in the area. Cant hurt to cover all bases.
-
I'm very sorry to hear this Blammo... good luck bud.
But please... please.... please push so your child gets put on the Amber Alert your child!
:(
-
Yes Please ask to have an Amber Alert put out!
I feel the urge to travel and help you Blammo, anything you need, you e-mail me, I'm only 5 hours away, and I'm sure my mom would be willing to help you out.
Hawklore88@yahoo.com
Push for the Amber Alert! I'm spreading the news on other forums, I know you havn't asked for this publicity but it's what helps.
-
My thoughts and prayers Blammo.
As many have said before, I cant even imagine what youre going through at this time. I pray for your son's safe return. Please keep us posted.
If possible, ask for bloodhounds to be used. Theyre excellent for tracking and I feel 99% sure that your son could be found.
Again, my thoughts and prayers.
-
Man, just sitting here thinking about this makes me and my family feel so helpless because we are too far away to help.
If anyone from the Dallas/Tawakoni areas decides to up a plane going that way to help in search, please let me know.
fastblastus@yahoo.com
-
Where is Stockbridge in relation to Atlanta?
-
According to my search it is 20 minutes from downtown Atlanta.
-
my eyes are open..but i truly feel helpless being on the other side of the country....
I will say a prayer to hope he is safe and rtb ' n as we speak
GodBless your family and friends looking right now
-
It has at least finally made the big media, Fox News is carrying it now. I hope that makes a difference, and makes more people aware. Seems there's a rash of abductions now. I hope this turns out well. The prayers and thoughts of the squad and the family are with you.

-
I just wish I'd seen this earlier. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a safe return.
-
Wish there was more I could do, but prayers sent.
-
I have a young son who is just a couple of years older. It is easily a parent's worst nightmare.
Prayers from this side of the Pond in your hour of need.

Anyone in the FL area thats heading up let me know I will hop along!

From what I've read here...
http://www.11alive.com/news/
Police have called off the volunteer search. It might be a good idea to call their office before heading there.
Still praying for David and your family, Blammo.

Well I wouldn't mind going up there to talk, I'm sure there are still volunteers searching, but we should all call the department and urge the start an amber alert.
-
Hawk..have you seen Dnil's post on page one?
-
Blammo, All our prayers...
For the rest of our fellow posters...I still haven't seen this on national news...so I haven't heard if an Amber alert has been issued.
Just a suggestion...don't know if this will make any difference or any sense but...I suggest that all of you who share bulletin boards at other internet sites post threads there on this subject, complete with the picture and specifics, and urge the readers of those boards to do the same. Maybe we can set up a ripple effect that will cover more ground. At the very least we can make more people aware of the situation.
Regards, Shuckins/Leggern
-
A whole town praying here.
-
I have also cross posted to a few boards. Our Hearts and Prayers are with you and you son.
-
There is an Amber alert posted.
-
Nope, thanks, I checked out one amber alert site, it didn't have any posted.
-
:mad:
Just looked up the Florida Amber Alert, can only be activated if there is sufficant evidence of an Abduction...
-
I thought that system was for any missing/endangered children. What a let down.:mad:
-
-
Any news?
-punt-
-
This is one of the only things of I have thought about today, gotta keep this one at the top. My prayers are with you and your family, wish I didnt live across the country and could help more.

An Amber network has different names in somes states. In this case Hawk, it`s Georgia, not Florida. Like I said there is an alert. You can find it here under state search of Georgia.

I pray for his safe return. I wish there was something I could do.
Is there someone the child knows (ex wife girlfriend etc) and trusts that he may have gone off with?
Has he ever been camping with anyone? Is anything missing from his room? Does he have a treasured object that he keeps (blanket etc)? If so is it there?
Does he have any money in his room? Is it there still? Has he every travelled alone before? Does he know how to ride the bus? Is his bike at home?
You need to think of people he trusts. Neighbors, friends, older friends, scout leaders, house keeper etc. Is there anyone that he may have seen recently?
-
Blammo my thoughts are with you and your family tonight. I hope that soon he will be in your arms again. Take care.
How trivial everything else on this board seems now...all the petty arguments we all have. The politics, the cars, the planes...everything here is trivial compared to the life of this child.

AGREED!! 110%
-
Have you checked all small hiding places in the house? Is there a chest or simmilar item he could have climbed into? I know this is a very long shot but I have a 3 year old and he loves to hide in small places.
-
Is there a favorite place he loves to go to all the time? Check there.
If there is a forest around, check the forest if he loves to go back there, or you've taken him back there before.
My family is praying for you!
Perhaps this will open our eyes onto more important issues like family..

Words from another Forum.
The Rev: This is what nightmares are made of.... I'm positive that every single member of this board hopes for the best possible outcome and sends their most personnal prayers.
Groucho: prayers for the safe return of the little guy home safe.
Kdiggity8: Ditto. I hope it's all better than it seems.
Preddy: lets hope he gets back safe
partyanima: He's in my thoughts and prayers. :cry:
Flyin'Nutz: Well that certainly sucks. I hope that they find him safe and sound.

My prayers are with him and his family...

Getting too far down...PUNT
Any new news?
-
I made a post in wwiiol's board; I can't imagine what you're going thru Blammo... I wish all the luck.
-
Just punting. Blammo, I am truly hopeful you and your son will be reunited soon. You're in my thoughts.
Please keep us posted, even though I know this board is probably the least of your concern right now.
:(
-
Greetings:
Unfortunately, nothing new. However, I wanted to take just a moment to thank each and everyone of you. Your great kindness has overwhelmed me.
Right now we have search and rescue dogs. One in particular has found a very good track and from just my view of it, and knowing my son, I can believe that is the direction he walked. Keep your hopes up that this is the golden ticket.

I have been watching this thread all day hoping and praying for good news.
As the father of two boys (now grown), I can only try to imagine the terrible waiting.
My prayers go out for a safe return of your son.

Og god - I hope so - please please let this be a happy ending.

My all hopes and prayers.

Oh good!
I'll keep my mom updated she'll be glad to hear that!
Dogs are wonderful!
I pray this is the Golden Ticket!
-
Saw this earlier today but didn't know what to say Blammo. I guess the best thing is to let you know that I'm thinking of you, your family and your son and praying for all of you.

I had an adventurous spirit as a young child. I got lost in the woods overnight more than once.
Here's hoping you enjoy the same relief my parents did when I showed up, only minus the butt kicking.
You're in my prayers.
-
keep this at the top.
Blammo, we are all thinking about you up here.

Anywhere but top post is not right for this one......
Hope the track the dog picked up is the ticket blammo.
-
Back to the top :(

-
To the top once again...Really hope those dogs work out. I have 2 toddler boys (3 and 2) that are constantly trying to go out when our backs are turned. Almost had one wander off already, caught up with him just before he would have been out of sight. This sort of thing has been one of my worst fears. Still praying for ya'll

Rest assured, Blammo, hundreds of families you don't even know will be leaving a light on for you, your child and your family.

Skuzzy may sticky it when business hours resume. But, to tell the truth, I'd rather there be no need with the child found safe and sound and reunited.

Stickied on wwiionline forums thanks to Brasidus.
Our hopes are with you and yours. Thanks for sharing the news Staga.

I hope so much too, Arlo, a thread "Found and SAFE."

Wow, don't know what to say. Hope it turns out well.

Blammo, I rarely ask God for anything.. I figure as blessed as I am it would be selfish of me to bother him other than to say "Thanks"
I'm goin to bed now but will stop a moment and say a prayer for your son.

I pray for his safe return.
I have two kids, and my worst nightmare is to have anything like this happen to them.

Back to the top, with the fervent hope that today is the last day we need it to be there.
I passed this along to the Corvair message group this morning. More prayers surely can't hurt.

Was hoping to see some progress. Checked the Stockbridge news and nothing yet.:(

I am sick with worry.

Blammo, take that boy and get him the biggest dog gone burger you can find.
WOOT!

Same here, I would have been shedding tears yesterday. As a parent of a three years son, I could relate. I wish your family all of the best and God's prayers. Blammo, don't lose the faith.

EDIT: I just saw the update that your son was found. God was protecting him and God bless the man that found him.

God bless you and your family. I'm glad he's safe. Now... whip him or hug him? :p

Glad to hear he's been found Blammo! :) Been praying for you all since I first saw your post.

Great news and joy:
David was found in a nearby house at about 9 AM EDT this morning. We are all rejoicing and giving God the glory.
David is fine and only have a few scratches and is mildly dehydrated. He has already settled back into his room and is playing.
Thank you all for the prayers, support, offers of assistances, good thoughts and the constant attention this was given.
David is home.

I feel your pain, I went through the same thing, for a total of 18 months. Turned out to be the long lost mother. She did it about four times. She got better at hiding, but I got better at finding. Now I have help a lot of people find their kids. Its a whole new skill most havent had the need to develope. If you think this may be the case email me back. I'll find that *****!
