some good news .. boy missing for 13 years found safe.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/alabama-boy-found-safe-after-going-missing-13-years-ago/ar-BBmRuNi?ocid=ansmsnnews11

An Alabama teenager who disappeared 13 years ago was found safe in Ohio on Nov. 1, Fox 8 News in Cleveland reports.
Julian Hernandez, now 18, was reported missing by his mother in Aug. 2002, after being allegedly abducted from the city of Birmingham by his non-custodial father Bobby Hernandez.
Thirteen years later, when the young Hernandez was attempting to apply to college, he realized that his Social Security number did not match his name, District Attorney Brandon Falls, of Alabama's Jefferson County, told local TV station WVTM.
Hernandez and a school counselor then learned that he was on the database of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, the station says.

my heart is just bursting with the emotions that mom must be feeling...

She must be so, so very happy.

I hope the boy decides to re-connect with her. I can't even imagine how he feels as well. I hope the father hasn't poisoned him against her but abducting him so completely doesn't bode well.

If anyone ever hears any updates on this story I'd be very grateful
