This story has been going on for five days. I can only imagine what the little boy is going through.

I will add that the AP writes terrible headlines. I would have called him the "kidnapper", not the "suspect". I know he hasn't been convicted of the offense as of yet, but I think he took the boy and is holding him captive at this very moment.
