The number of abduction attempts that have been taking place in our area in the past few weeks is outrageous.
1. Are they going to continue until they kidnap another child?
2. Are they trying to take focus away from the two missing cousins?
3. Is there a human trafficking network operating here?
4. Could there be this many "individual pedophiles " active in our area?
This is a message and it means something Iowa has a kidnapping problem. People need to be very careful concerning the safety of their children. No parent would want to walk in my shoes for 30 years, since the kidnapping of my son Johnny on Sept. 5th, 1982, while he was delivering newspapers.
