- These kids were found alive years after they went missing. In 2022, Utah deputies made an astonishing discovery after approaching a man who was cold and down on his luck. In 2021, there were tears of joy when a family in China was reunited after over two decades. In 2023, a British boy who went missing at 11 years old in Spain was found years later safe in France. Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall has more.

That dad that looked for over two decades is truly dedicated.
It's like movie material. True dedication, burned all his time, savings, and ten bikes.
@@notyourtypicalcomment2399why would you think that
@@redbrixanimations it's not like it's guaranteed that is how that man would have acted towards a daughter or anything, but older Asian culture puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of sons. China's "one child" policy led to many Chinese daughters being abandoned or adopted outside of the country because everyone wanted their one child to be a son. It was so severe it led to a fairly significant gender gap
@@spatchmo6938 makes sense. I once watched this earthquake movie and a mother could only save one of her children, and she picked her son over her daughter.
@@notyourtypicalcomment2399shut up
They didnt do that dad justice and tell his story because he looked for his son for 24 years and while he did he drove like a crazy amount of miles and saved and returned a bunch of kids to their families while he looked for his own, he is truely a hero its worth looking up the full storyy
What a good father and man. Where can i find the whole story? Thank you for the info!! God bless him 🙏🏻 ❤️
Thank you for telling us! Very interesting!
How do I find his story
Amazing ❤❤❤❤
@@todioodio9222 If yall search father searches for son for 24 years on youtube it should pop up! It’s definitely a tear jerker 😭 the father is a whole hero!
The second dad has to be one of the greatest fathers of all time.
I saw a documentary on this. Yeah, he’s pretty much a hero.
But he'd spent most of his life away from them. Theyre just strangers to him. It mustve been really weird for him
If it was a girl, he would have done nothing, let’s be honest.

bro is *THE* real one, imagine trying to find your child in a country bigger than the USA with 1 billion people
@@ehannasir8464 that would be insane
Didn't expect to see you here
You will not say that about any of the ppl who ruin their relationships, lives and finances and DON'T find their child. Those ppl, you'll lable very differently. Thus, let's not glorify, shall we? Because not giving up is one thing, but having your wife now having to worry about losing you, by getting into accidents repeatedly, is most certainly not what you'd call a good partner either.
There is good measure for everything. Even for how to practice hope, without putting everything on the line. Also, what now? What a challenge for the found kid to know that father wrecked his health and finances. Can you imagine the emotional load that hits you?
It's easy to pass judgements of all sorts, as a bystander, but reality is far more nuanced than that.
@@KxNOxUTA the reason people praise him is because of his determination and low resources. Sure he put everything on the line but he had very little to begin with and i would assume if he tried finding his child for 24years he probably wouldn't be able to live with himself not searching, mental health directly links to life expectancy even in good health and finances it still would eat away at him perhaps more than if he searched which seems to be his coping mechanism
Can't even imagine what a parent goes through when your own child is missing.
How do you even continue on in life, how do you plan things and do errands
@@marie9524 For them.
@@marie9524same as ya always did.
Depends on the situation, some wants to get as far away from their parents as possible! Why do some go missing and never make a phone call home?
There must be a reason for that. It's not all about how the parents must feel.
for years! really sad you might come to think how God let this things happens.
My father disappeared in 1986. No body was found, he was kayaking in the Hudson River, Yonkers NY. I was 9 years old and I still remember that last time we had together. It is wonderful to see a positive outcome for a tragic situation.
How awful for you. Have you considered putting your DNA in the system so they can check it against any John Does? All the best.
@@frances7771Great advice!
😥
I'm sorry to hear this. Stay strong. God bless you ❤
I am so sorry to hear this, and I wish I could give you a hug. I know that may not mean anything but the not knowing is excruciating, as is the loss of time with someone you loved. I hope you have been able to have had some semblance of a happy life and family. I wish you nothing but happiness and healing.
Could you imagine having to look for your child for 24 years? That is dedication and love on an whole other level. I know most parents would do anything for their child, but I know a lot would have given up after a decade let alone 24 years. Love that these stories had happy endings. Losing a child is the worst hell anyone can ever go through
Only because it was a boy, would’ve never done that for a daughter

@@nippersnippers9178 💀💀💀💀
Geez, I would be crying hard.
The girl who ran away without saying a word was just selfish.
@@blackmamba___ ok? lol
When kids don't want to be found, then that speaks volumes about how they were treated and why they ran away.
The two decade search for the son is heartbreaking. Glad they were reunited. That sweet, dedicated father. I hope whoever took his son is punished severely.
Who knows
Not always true.
If that was the case there is usually some suspicion somewhere and it’s unlikely that every family member would be involved. I also feel that if that was the case then she probably wouldn’t have bothered to get in touch.
@@dillodefense kids dont runaway for no reason
@@travishylton6976they do actually because of addiction and so called bf/gf with dark background. I know that some good parents have some difficult kids
The second father warmed my heart up so much. The fact that he searched for 20 years was true dedication and perseverance. Seriously the best father of all time.
I assure u they didnt even care. They should take some more acting classes
Neat @@Richardo004
@@Richardo004on Mainland China news media, it's reported the father while searching for his own abducted son, he also helped more families find their separated relatives and children.
In 2012, he launched Tianya Relative Searching Network.
It eventually leads to the launch of Tianya Family Searching Volunteers Association in September 2014.
I had to comment as it's contrary to what you stated. This father has shown extraordinary love. In his search for his own son, he helped other families who faced similar circumstances like he did. His persistence moved even the local authorities and volunteers come forward in the spread of anti-trafficking information and training.
His story even inspired a movie titled "Lost and Love" that created more awareness about the abduction of children.
@@Richardo004 Yeah I'm sure the father searched 24 years just for fun. It was a big set up for the final performance. What kind of logic do you operate on in day to day life?
@@roadkill1172 yh you know sometimes ppl lie, u would know if u talk to them once in a while
The girl who chose not to reunite…a kid doesn’t just run from home unless there’s a reason. That family has some explaining to do!
You bet they do!! As a former runaway, a kid doesn't runaway for no reason. There's stuff going on that would make anyone leave. Facts!
@@leanajo754 you don't know that family. So, why speculate? Emily could have been groomed to leave with someone. Groomers would make a point of telling kids that adults can't be trusted, wouldn't they? If there was a problem in the home, she could have reached out to her wider family, teachers or even her cousin before she left. Groomers gaslight *every relationship* the child has with anyone who gets in the way of what the groomer wants. It's silly to suggest otherwise.
$100 bucks Mother had a guy who molested her and refused to believe her child. Or worse blamed the girl. I’m so glad she survived and is thriving now.
@@leanajo754there was a recent case of a girl being found and she didn’t want to go back home, but that’s because she was now an adult after being found, and was still living with the man who groomed her, and who also convinced her to leave, aka, lured her away. it isn’t always the parents.
@@leanajo754 could be a multitude of reasons that we have no idea about. She would be far far from the first teen who had a boyfriend who was bad for her that her family hates but she won't leave and that creates a wedge. That's just one scenario stop assuming.
I feel like there is a reason why Emily left! Biggest indicator is that her parents didn't come forward, her cousin did. The fact that she doesn't want them to know her location speaks volumes. I hope the police aren't looking at this as a closed case. There needs to be an investigation into her life prior to running away.
Looking into it further would require Emily to show up in court and/or give testimony, which would bring her in contact with the family she does not want to be a part of. It's entirely possible it's a case of her coming out as gay and the family essentially disowning her for it, but not telling the extended family what happened, hence the cousin.
I used to want to runaway when i was 12 because my mom didn't let me play fortnite, probably a dumb reason for Emily too
@@assassin77FTW I used to wanna runaway bc my incubator would threaten to off herself anytime we did anything she didn't like. Could be the same for Emily
My wife ran away because her dog ate her own poop, could be the same for Emily@@jayking2228
@@assassin77FTW Sounds like you had an easy childhood. Not everyone does. A huge portion of kids who run away at a young age like Emily, and who don't want anything to do with their families afterward, do so because of physical, mental, and/or sexual abuse. That's not a "dumb reason." It's doing what you have to do to survive.
My Brother has been missing since November 7th , 2015 and I still believe he is out there alive somewhere!

Kids wandering off is one thing,but KIDNAPPING A KID AND SELLING HIM TO ANOTHER FAMILY?!
What is wrong with those people?!😮
happens LOADS in China, due to their old One Child Policy, there's eyewatering videos on it
@@xxkissmeketutxx Yet another reason why that law sucks!😡
@@Herowebcomicsit's not a law anymore they changed it because the birth rate was too low.
@@Vtorious123 Well,I still hate it!
I am glad it's gone though!😎
It's not exclusive to China. It happened a lot in the 40s and 50s in the United States too. Some lady had her own black market of telling new mothers their babies died shortly after birth and sold them to families for enormous profits.
Second dad was a hero . That man took the whole country finding his boii no matter what it takes .
1:41 impressive of the Father for not losing hope despite not finding his child for 24+ years
Every time I come across the second story I can contain my emotions. The father’s dedication to finding his son is beautiful.
Emily clearly has very good reasons to want to stay away from her family, and for them not to know where she is. I think the cousin should be asking why that might be instead of hoping that she'll change her mind.
She ran away for a reason, and she's choosing to keep them away for a reason, too. I'm glad the cousin is respecting that choice, and I'm glad Emily is okay and doing well.
Just doesn't seem right. The police should check where she's living. Just because you walk in the police office and say you're ok doesn't mean she's ok. Remember that girl who was kidnapped and wouldn't leave? That's because she was afraid her rapist would hurt her children.
@@miryamishot Or it could be that her parents were abusive and/or disowned her for being gay. You dont know the story, it's entirely possible that Emily needed to get out of a bad situation and wants nothing to do with them. I think it's more telling that the cousin was the one who cares most, NOT the parents.
@@GummyDinosaursifyor it could be many other things.
@@miryamishot Do you really think the police would not have noticed if she has lied or had injuries? How do you know she was not inspected by a doctor? How do you know she did not give her location to the police to check on her? How do you know the police did not follow her home, just to be sure she is safe?
@@GummyDinosaursifyyou're clinging hard to that gay theory, huh? I'm not saying it's impossible. But if her family wanted nothing to do with her, they wouldn't ask her to come home. Probably wouldn't even report her missing.
Hats off to the dad who never stopped searching for 24 straight years, man is a living legend.
The one with Autism really got me, especially with having it myself, it’s a relief he was found along with all the other missing children. They may be screwy sometimes but I’m glad law enforcement is always there when we need them!
Same! My 8 yr old son has level 3 Autism and he's an elopement risk. This is one of my biggest fears, him running off and not being able to find him. He doesn't have the ability to understand that he would be in danger and he has limited communication which doesn't help. He didn't say his first word until right before his 7th birthday. I couldn't imagine going through having my child missing.
That police officer asking if he'd like to warm up in his cruiser has a good heart. Didn't immediately act suspicious like a cop.

As a parent, I can't even begin to imagine what these parents went through.
My heart aches for those families that have never gotten closure.
About Emily, I don’t know what could have made her runaway but I do hope the best. I can see how those worried about her could be upset, but there’s a reason, good or bad why she may have left. But most of all, thank goodness she’s still alive.
I'm very worried about the one with Emily because she could have ended up abducted and graped ... and held against her will and had a child or two with that person and because she loves her kids so much has tried not to escape and accepts her fate or has Stockholm Syndrome .
There's got to be a reason she doesn't want to see her family and unless they had done something nasty or harsh to her something's not adding up with her wanting her family to have no part of her life .
I hope that somehow a detective can find where she lives and they can watch her to see if they see anything weird to corroborate what I've said .
Or she could want to be with the family and maybe they threatened her saying you'll never see your kids again if you visit your folks .
You could tell something's wrong she did not really look genuinely happy it's like she was under pressure and trying to put on an act
@@gardensofthegods yup you literally typed out my thoughts exactly. That’s why I said either it was a good thing she left(for her own mental and physical well being) or a bad thing, like what you said may have turned into something else. There’s a reason only she has to tell. The fact she showed up to a police station and not to her family kinda drops some sort of suspicion.
I agree. Emily story deserves a little more attention. Curious what is behind the staying away from family that on the surface seems caring.
My thoughts exactly. That is very very strange. Somthing definitely is not right. 😢
Notice, too, it was the cousin who did the story, not the parents.
Father#2.... Every boy and girl deserves such dedication from their father... What an honorable man...
It must be so hard to lose your child, I’m glad all of these people were found. ❤
"You NEVER give up hope!" No truer words. That's the thing. Don't give up hope
Sweet mother of pure humanity. The second the children returned home to their families is the sign of relief.
20 years!! My god, the dad and mom never ever gave up. I cried non stop.
I cannot imagine all the anguish and anxiety they went through, but definitely feel their tearful joy in holding their son again.
As a Father with a Son that has Autism, the first story broke me to tears….. Im so glad these parents have their kids in lives again…. TY Lord Jesus Christ 🙏!!
The man that looks for his boy all around China brought me to tears
I can't imagine the pain of having a loved one missing it's just too sad. I'm Glad for those found and still have hope for others who aren't
What drives me crazy is there's no explanation of why these kids disappeared? It's all look he's missing!! We found them! Thank you! To me you got us involved in your search for your child we should know why he left how you found them!
It’s amazing on how they were found years later
Yes
Constantly looking for your child for 24years and finally finding him. What an amazing story.
Man it’s always heartwarming to see parents finding there child since years passed by.
This father looking for his son for 24 effing years! Just wow! What an amazing man!
How bad must her parents have been that the one girl was like I need them to know I'm alive but I need them to never see me again. I can relate to that unfortunately.
I keep thinking she feel in love with someone forbidden 🚫
@@nanciperal7531 Possibly. Although, I read that it was likely more about previous abuse of some sort.
I had a very good friend who left home when she was 16. She hated her father and her brother, but she loved her mother. She would endure having to encounter the others just to see her, but most of the time she only agreed to meet if it was just her mum. I had one experience with being with both her parents for a short car ride. I immediately understood why she hated him. He was the coldest, most ignorant, most arrogant and controlling man I had ever met. I was only in his company for ten minutes but it was the most uncomfortable ten minutes of my life. I have never met a person who could make me loathe their character in such a short time, so I instantly understood.
When he died my friend celebrated. She refused to attend the funeral.
I have no doubt there was more that I was never told.
Emily reminds me of her. For her to run away, and to not want contact, something bad has gone on in that family and she doesn't want to tell them, or they wouldn't believe her if she did. So instead of causing more pain and drama, she's getting on with her life away from all of them.
Or it has nothing to do with romance and she just wanted to have her own life.
@@Emma88178At the age of 15? She just had to wait 3 years if she just wanted her own life lol
Shared a similar experience with these families. At the beginning of the Russo-Ukrainian war, the mother of my godmother went missing in Ukraine. The apartment complex she lived in was bombed, and while most of the family held hope that she was still alive, we understood the likelihood of the alternative. Just recently we were able to make contact and confirm her whereabouts in a refugee camp. If you're a family in a similar situation never give up!
I lost my cat for 4 days once..it was unbearable to me.
How do go on if you not know where your child is???
Bless everyone with peace happiness and love ❤
I cried like a baby went my cat went missing 😭
one of my cats got scared of the fireworks during xmas festivities and ran away int he middle of the night. we kept looking for him , still hasn't come home. I kept hoping he'd come back or that found a nice family who'd take care of him, at least
Lol I was jumping over fences and hedges in peoples back gardens just last week looking for our 6 month old cat, window was only open a touch. Got the little fella though
I totally agree 😢😢😢
I know what you mean. Last year there was a beautiful solid white cat with orange amber eyes and he was around here for about three months then one day he was gone as mysteriously as he appeared. He was such a beautiful cat he had to belong to someone. He was very loving would follow me to the mail box follow around behind me going to the trash. I called him Snowball he was the most beautiful solid white cat. I miss him so much. But he wasn't mine.......😢
Dad searches for 24 years for his missing child and found him, now that's love and dedication on the highest level!
They didn't mention the disappearance and finding of Alicia Navarro, the 14 year old autistic girl who ran away from home in Arizona back in 2019. About 4 years later, she went into a Montana police station to tell them to take her off the missing persons list so she can apply for a driver's license. My older sister and I were listening to her story on a podcast and I predicted she may have been trafficked and would be found alive, 2 days later she was.
I am pretty sure that girl was a victim...now she has stockholm syndrome and is protecting the guy/s who took her and used her...
The father who searched for 24 years melted my heart that's true love he really fought we need more parents like him 😭😭
I’m Glad these kids we’re found safe, and alive. Also Happy New Year guys!
Happy New Years!!
What a great dad to look for his son for all that time and never give up. Glad they were reunited in the end. Can't imagine what he was going through every day. And the rest of the family of course. But what he did was astounding.
Don’t leave your children unattended even when they’re older.
😂😂😂😂
At 18, they’re allowed to leave.
once you’re of age, you can go anywhere, by law.
Isnt that one of the traits of a helicopter parent?
The last kid was abuse by his own parents and got so bad he lean away from home.
The Chinese father who looked for over 2 decades for his son with no stopping is truly remarkable and shows the strength and love a parent has for their baby/s.
Emilie the young girl who left her family then comes out when she’s 19 to tell them she’s fine and in a good place but does not want them to know where she is, that make you wonder wtf?? why did she choose to keep her family in the dark of where she was. Weird, it would be interesting to know what led to her leaving and keeping her family in the dark.
That Dad that searched for years nearly brought me to tears 😭
I can't even begin to fathom the pain of not knowing where your child is.
So heartbreaking for the second dad 😢 his son grew up as a baby with a different family he probably doesn't even remember his birth parents.
That dad is wonderful he never gave up.
There needs to be a movie made about the father who spent twenty years searching for his son.
UPDATE: There is a movie made about the case called Lost and Love (2015)
I am so incredibly happy for these families!!!! As a parent myself, I know that I’ve lost sight of my kids in grocery stores before or just playing outside and for those few seconds or a couple minutes that you can’t find them…It’s literally like I don’t even have any words to describe, but like heart shattering, stomach dropping out of your body feeling, and the relief of when you find them is just indescribable and what these families went through just magnifies that by infinity.
Wow. That is amazing. Little strange that one girl did not want to reunite with her family.
I did not get a good feeling about her at all and I think it's possible that she could have ended up in a situation where she could have been abducted and graped if you know what I'm saying and gotten pregnant and had a child or two ...
And what if she has something like Stockholm syndrome where she's still with that person and what if they told her to lie and say she's doing good or she'll never see her kids again
She certainly did not look happy even though she tried to give that impression you could feel how uptight she was so something's not right .
She didn't say anything that her family had been mean to her and that's why she left or that it was an abusive household .
I think the family needs to find out from the police if they know where she lives and hire a private detective to find out what's really going on with her .

I can't imagine the hell she went through trying to find them, a mother does not forget any of her children and I would do this for anyone else.
What happened to them it was nice of you to help her
Something tells me that Emily is probably better off where she is.
So true. Since she didn't wanna see her family probably means her family was the reason she left.
Why is nobody considering the possibility of grooming? She was 14 for crying out loud! How did she get money, identification? She needed an adults help! It’s likely she doesn’t want to get this person in trouble. Stockholm syndrome, if you will.
A father burned all his savings and never ever gave it a second thought, searched for 24 years, omg, that is truly sad and amazing, it's like a movie story
In the moment it must be the most horrible thing a parent can go through, after they’re found it must be the happiest moment a parent can go through
The last case of the boy who went missing aged 11 is truly shocking, the fact that his mother and Grandfather were able to bring him out of the country when they should not have been allowed as neither had legal right. How did he survive for so long at such a young age in a country where he couldn't even speck the language?
They were given permission to take him on holiday but didn't bring him back. They then moved around as part of a "spiritual commune" and he stayed with them until he decided to "leave". Although, considering he was walking at night and sheltering during the day, and this was in winter, I'd say it was more a case of escaping rather than leaving.
he was with his mom and his grandfather....maybe he was where he was supposed to be you know..
The Emily one made me think if they did something to her that she's not gotten over
I know! What is the rest of the story?? Her mom seemed very calm getting the news her daughter want nothing to with her
@@Rosiepoohtargaryen that wasn't her mom it said it was her cousin
Right or was she still u see duress perhaps has a child that was kept in order to allow her to walk in and say she has a “WONDERFUL “ support system but I don’t want my family to know where I am. Crazy!
Or Stockholm syndrome. 😢
Perhaps. The likely theory is online grooming. Very unlikely a 14 year old would have the resources to start a new life, without an adults help. Especially without being found sooner. She may not want her captor to get in trouble.
second one should be made into a movie in the family's honor, incredible story
The Dad who looked for 24 Years would make for a great heart felt movie
I cannot imagine what this parents and kids went through so happy they found each other
How reckless & neglectful this parents. It's acceptable if the reason was kidnap but leaving your child unattended & unware is so neglectful.
This shows that there is hope and never give up. God bless all the families in similar circumstances.
The story about the 2 year old in Japan would make an amazing movie!
My uncles I've never met ran away (nobody In the family knows why) in 1994 and I'm 28 now. He been found in 2012 but nobody in the family doesn't know where he is. Wish we knew though.

If he hasn't changed his name officially or his social security number you should be able to track him down through a private detective .
Something doesn't add up here I don't know if he's mentally ill and has paranoid schizophrenia or is with a cult and a sort of brainwashed ?
Did you talk to police ?
@gardensofthegods I've searched his name online and found a picture of him only when he was a kid the picture had a link to a website of California missing people so anyways I saw his name and picture on the site showing it has been updated in 2012 mentioning he's been found. He's a grown man now. I've contacted the police of San Diego and they mentioned that they can't do nothing because he's been found and not considered missing anymore and that they don't know where he's located, and maybe he doesn't want to reach out to family.
@gardensofthegods he's not mentally ill. Nothing at all.
Maybe you could be the one because there's nothing he has against you and if you just Express the wanting to know and love him he will reach out
@MandieKearns-Moore sorry I forgot to mention when he ran away it was 94. I was born in 95 I've never met him before but would be nice to meet him for the first time.
That Chinese father is remarkable in his tenacity. What a way to live for all those years.
bro the messed up thing is that 1 girl was a child when she left "likely coersed by a older man" but now that shes an adult all is forgiven? i think the person who conviced there underage daughter to run away from home and shack up with him in a differet state should be looked into
I just can’t get over the fact on the first one that had autism. How did he figure out how to survive all these years like that especially in a heavy populated area without ever being traced back to his home. Did he just completely black out on his memory out of nowhere? I couldn’t even imagine
Gosh. That has to be so depressing knowing your child ran away and then still did not want any communication after reporting herself as alive and breathing well. Drugs or abuse involved? 😢
Or parents did abuse them. That can also be.
Possibly!
I'm going to guess the family is toxic.
Prayers can make all the difference. I found my sister after 40 years. I love her everyday now
I just awoke from a nightmare where I was missing. This makes me sad
I can’t imagine being spiteful enough to disappear for 5 years from age 14 and leave my family wondering if I was alive or dead. If there was abuse or something then it’s fine but it’s unlikely that is the case since she wrote to them and came to speak to the police and there was no indication of that at any point. It’s an awful thing for any family to go through.
3:40 Doesn't want family to know of whereabouts? Most likely an abusive family. Story is not adding up.
That man who traveled the country looking for his boy didn’t know if his son was dead or alive, but he had faith, I’m so incredibly happy his hard work paid off ❤️
Love it when there's great news on children. It's not that often.❤
Second guy sacrificed his life doing that. Time he never gets back, but im glad they found him
I remember this case. I recognized him immediately. Thank God he's home!!!
Make a movie about the man who searched for his son for years on bike
Incredible, this is truly incredible. Hopefully there's more videos like this of missing kids being found. Hopefully there's more uploads Of these cases
That chinese dad, OMG how awsome is he, the love of a parent is unconditional
Emily was probably abused in her childhood home. Why else would she not want to return? Like her cousin said she’s an adult now. It’s her choice
Yes it's possible but don't you think she would have maybe tried to say something about that in the news about no I'm fine now I'm not in that abusive situation anymore .
I think there's a lot more to her story and I think it's possible that she may have been abducted and ended up with Stockholm Syndrome add may have even had children with the person and it's possible that they told her if you even think about going back to your family you'll never see your children again .
I know that's far-fetched but yeah we can tell something's wrong even though she tries to act fine but I think they need to find out what's really going on with her to make sure
How the heck did that teen manage to survive 3 years homeless, and how did he manage to get all the way from Clearlake, California to Park City, Utah?
Wish I could hear from my kid. Been 8 or 9 years now.
“My sweetheart’s alive!” That hit me hard as a mom😭 so happy they found these kids
Wow I would imagine the parents would be happy to get their missing kid back
I have a 3 year old and I teared up. I can’t imagine. Ur kids eventually make decisions on their own and you can’t stop that, but u can NEVER give up on them.
Regarding the girl Emily, someone in that family must have done something to her. God Bless Her!
