as an adult, i now understand why my mom would be so upset when i hid in between the circle clothes racks in department stores & wouldn't respond to her.
Yes. I hated when my don did that and then he jump out right when I beat where he was hiding. Sadly I stopped taking my son with me to run errands it was to risky.
Girl same, I hated shopping with my mom so I would hid in the clothing rack but I always watched her feet so I knew where she was. Mom would get so mad at me lol. Then I became a mom and my kid did it to me. I understand the frustration now
my sister did that to my mom (before I was born) she looked everywhere for her, called out to her, left the store screaming outside, came back in then hears her giggling. Parted the hangers and there she was. "peek a boo mommy"
My mum was the same while dad was pretty foolish would let me wonder off when in public such as going to public rest rooms let it be known I live in a state that at the time of when I was younger it was decently safe however if mum wasn’t around and knew dad let me go to the toilet or wonder off on my own she would be furious i was very aware at a young age about the dangers so would always tell my mother end result I’m just glad nothing never happened to me when I was younger I deeply feel saddened for a lot of young children that are unfortunately go missing.
Both children playing with a 10 year old girl and 5 year old boy? Definitely connected. Maybe child trafficking, using the 5 and 10 year old to lure young children away to give them to an adult maybe? My heart breaks for their families. I can’t imagine the pain of losing a child, my heart truly goes out to them.
I think the two older children and the guy with the broken arm were all in on it. The guy was the distraction and the kids helped lure for who ever wanted to snatch them. So heartbreaking. Cannot imagine!!
My nephew went missing for 10 min and it was the worst 10 mins of my life. Im tear up thinking about it. It’s the worst feeling. I feel for these mothers.
a woman on tik tok just posted a very similar story that happened to her. it was a woman and a young girl who kept asking to play with her kids. the woman eventually ran up to the mother and said “they kidnapped my daughter please help me” and tried to get the mother to run off with her. luckily the mother was smart and immediately went to go grab her children. it was definitely a ploy to kidnap her small children.
This truly makes me wounder if they are out there, raised by another family, and just living life as a gown adult not having any clue who thier true family is. I couldn't imagine If they come across this video or the episode on Netflix and it all just clicks. Insane.

The police ruling out the 2 kids that were 10 and 5 was a huge mistake. There had to be a predator lurking near that park....and the 2 kids were used. I pray those kids come forward.
I agree! Even if it was just a coincidence that the kids played with both Christopher and Shane they may have seen something. I highly doubt the police properly questioned those kids and now that they’re adults they might be able to tell the police what really happened.
I’m incredibly disturbed that the 2 kids were seen crawling back into the park through a hole in the fence. Those kids 100% led him through that hole to someone waiting. Why else would they insist on playing with him? Why would they leave the park through a hole and come right back? Where were these kids parents while all this was happening? I also believe that the man with the broken arm was intentionally trying to distract her for a minute because the kids couldn’t accomplish this alone. Who sits down, talks about crime at random and shows fight scars to strangers? At the exact moment the kids wander off? Not a coincidence!!
That is what I was thinking as well. And the fact that those same kids distracted the first boy that was taken as well with a red ball. I definitely think they were bribed or something. Back then they didn’t have specialists that j w how to properly interview children. So they probably just had a random officer interview them.

@@sosweetmeanstreak but if the case is reaching less people that makes it a less well known case. Can’t say I’ve ever heard of this before nor has any of my true crime friends until this video. This platform is valuable for these types of cases.
Just finished Jelani’s case on Kendall’s channel and now a MH video yay! I hope the whole fam/crew is well and have a great holiday weekend ❤️❤️ Sending love and blessings to you guys after the most recent Sesh episode ❤️❤️❤️
The sketchiest thing about this case that makes me think those kids were in on it was that they walked up to the mom and asked for permission to play with her kid because as a parent, and a former child, kids will just play with each other on the playground. They don’t ask permission, they don’t seek out another child’s parent or even know who to go to ask that too.
On May 18, 1989 I turned one year old. This breaks my heart that on the day my parents were celebrating my first birthday Allison lost her son Christopher :(
i wonder if they kept record of those kids name and could maybe talk to them now that they are adults. Maybe now that they are grown they would be more willing to talk about what happened that day
i wonder if the parents of the 5 and 10 year old are stage parents that the traffickers set up to ensure if the police suspected the kids. that way there would be adults around to keep them in check. wild theory but it’s not impossible
Can I suggest doing monthly uploads for planet sleep instead of weekly. Planet sleep is my favorite to fall asleep too! I love all your channels and definitely don't want to see you burnt out!
I have a one year son and I can’t imagine the feelings and thoughts going through your head of your missing child and having no idea of their whereabouts! This hurts a lot to hear these cases
Yep, i've whitnessed it once (the girl wandered of and was found minutes later) but the moment her mom called her child once every parent on the playground started looking, my stomach dropped and meanwhile that littl cutie was further in the back watching squirrels. I haven't been so scared in a long time and it wasn't even my own child.
Thank you Kendall and josh for continuing to cover these important cases despite going through a hard time in your life! We see and appreciate you both! You are so inspiring and brave❤️❤️
Can you please provide updates on the Ghislaine Maxwell trial? I always trust you guys to provide accurate and clear information about cases and current events.
ugh this case is so sad and these little baby boys are the cutest i've ever seen! this is so sad and it makes me so mad that they were most likely targeted because of their race. it's awful that anyone would ever take these babies from the lives they were meant to have. praying they get home or are helping their families from heaven
I know the feeling of a panic attack. My 2 year old son got lost for 10 minutes at a playground as he was playing with his older siblings and cousins. As a mother I lost it, ran out with no shoes on and screaming all over the neighborhood. I wouldn't ever want to go through that again. Horrible feeling.
This case just breaks my heart so much. As a mom I would just go so crazy not knowing what happened to my babies 🥺 Praying and sending so much hugs to these women 🥺
I think this is one of the sickest crimes a person can commit. To carry your precious baby for 9 months, love them more than you thought you could ever love anything, have them change your life forever just for someone to steal them away without the poor child ever even being able to remember their family. So sad
I pray that they reinterview the 2 children that were playing with them at the park on both days of the disappearances. Maybe now that they’re adults they’d be more willing to share information
@@AM-gt1yt not that they’re too old, but that bc they were probably members of a trafficking ring they wouldn’t be in the same place now and maybe they used fake names, and maybe they’re dead. Would be tough to track them down now
I definitely believe the kids have something to do with it also! That guy that made a distraction of his scars on the bench plus the kids.. that's definitely a setup. Some kids can be so brainwashed by their parents sadly so it's not surprising if that's what happened. I'm so heartbroken for this family, I really wish that they would get closer. I had one scare of my child being missing one time thankfully she was hiding.. Worst feeling in the entire world 🥺😭💔♥️
Heartbreaking 💔 I am a mom of 4. About 6 years ago my husband and I took our kids to a book store, I told my husband I was looking for something specific and he agreed to keep the kids with him, after a few minutes he met up with me where I was to ask a question and then walks off again and I continued looking. Then when I went to find him one of my daughters wasn’t in sight and I asked him where she was, he said he left her with me. My heart sank and I immediately started panicking and searching he store, it was small and in a tourists town, i looked everywhere and couldn’t find her, I started sobbing and I was asking everyone if they had seen her. Then I was trying to recall if the bell on the door rang during that time because maybe someone took off with her. I remember after searching the restroom and the back of the building I said to my husband “ I wanna die!” I had so many feelings and thoughts at once but the one I really remember was I just couldn’t live anymore. It was only maybe 10 minutes of this, that’s how small the building was but we did find her! She was actually Hiding from us as we were looking and calling her name. I just scooped her up and started sobbing again and we left immediately, we ended our outing for the day and it took weeks for me to fully recover, I was having nightmares and it changed me forever, we now always have a strict plan we stick too when taking the kids out where we must stay in constant communication and eye contact must be made and some Kind of acknowledgment if one of us says they are leaving a certain child with the other. It’s the worst feeling I’ve ever felt.
I really have a feeling they are still alive but just under different identities and with different families. Because there are so many stories of this and it’s heartbreaking to know mothers and families have lost their children to such horrible monsters.
I've heard quite a bit of cases of using abducted kids luring other kids as a way to stay safe from the perpetrator. Even teens have been used to lure other teens. No ones really safe in these situation. When kids have been trained through abuse or anything scarring, they will lie because of how traumatized they are. Sad 😔 😟 😢 😭
I always warn my daughter not to trust grown women she doesn’t know. We have a secret word and I told her if there was ever a case I sent someone else to get her and wasn’t able to let her know, they’d know the secret word. Talk to your kids about these things and the potential to be lied to and manipulated. Be safe everyone ♥️
This happened in the case of Steven Stayner, and how he became a Hero. It gave him courage because he didn't want the little boy to suffer as he had. 🤍
Losing your child even for a minute is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING! I lost my daughter for about 5 minutes in a store when she was 4 and it was the most panicked and terrified I’ve ever been in my entire life. I just can’t even imagine what both of the boys mothers went through and are still going through.
Having been around children it isn’t that odd for older kids to what to hang out with toddlers. Some kids just love babies and toddlers. It also isn’t that odd for kids to be pushy. It IS odd the same kids were involved with both children. Unless there were not very many toddlers to play with, then it may just be coincidence
This case has always broken my heart. Those poor moms. I have two toddlers and it just destroys me to think of that happening to one of my boys. Ugh, I hope the 10 year old girl steps up and shares what she knows. She would remember all of it.
My heart is breaking for these mammas .. these stories are so much harder when you are a parent. I pray these boys did have at least a happy good life and they find their way home.
The feeling i get in the pit of my stomach listening to this.. ugh. Those cases are definitely connected. I literally feel it in my soul. P.s. glad y’all are doing good, I never know what to do with myself without new episodes! It’s how I get through my work day! 😂 hope you guys have a great holiday ❤️❤️
I really hope the boys are alive and grown and may just possibly not know they were taken. I hope they find answers soon. I can’t imagine the pain of time passing and not knowing :(
I’ve been watching you guys for years and it’s so refreshing to hear new cases that are not reported on enough. I am currently a master’s student in criminology and criminal justice and we hear the same cases all the time. thank you guys for reporting ❤️ also, wishing you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. ❤️ my heart is with you all during this tough time and hoping for things to look up in the future ❤️❤️
hey guys, just want to say an extra thank you for your commitment and dedication to sharing stories and spreading awareness and cultivating a community. i appreciate your sacrifice, which is the emotional undertaking this type of case work entails, and on top of that, the internet’s response to it. please never feel you are obligated to make that sacrifice whenever either of you feel tapped out on capacity. we will continue to love, support, and appreciate all that you do. you touch so many lives and help others, your platform provides a safer space amidst the chaos, and that is nothing short of a blessing that you have given us all. again, because it isn’t said enough, thank you❤️
This is so scary and heartbreaking! As a mom of 2 under 2. I have had an incident where my oldest climbed out of our apartment window and started wondering around outside. I wasnt in the living room at the time I was distracted in the other room with the baby. I didn't realize he left until 10 minutes later. I searched and searched outside crying desperate. I finally saw a cop car with lights on parked and walked up to them and asked if they found a little boy. Sure enough it was my little boy barefoot and in jammies. They said they tried to talk to him but has speech difficulties. Scariest moment as a mom.
I completely appreciate why you had to put Planet Sleep on the shelf for now BUT just here to say I will be overjoyed if and I'll hope when you bring it back. Love everything y'all do. Keep at it. 💕
I cant even imagine these mother pain but I woke up one morning when my now 14 yo was 3 years old and he wasn't in his room. I went through the house looking for him and yelling for him. I notice the back door was open and ran out screaming for him. He was no where to be found. I quickly called 911 yelling my son is missing. It was a horrible feeling of emptiness. I was lucky ans the dispatch said calm down, is his name D. Yes! I said and they said. We have him, a retired police women found him on her walk and he could lead her back to which house was ours, so she took him home... one street away. I quickly walked to her house and there he was... playing with her grand children's toys.
That feeling is so real. My best friend and I went to the fair. I was holding her son and my daughter was 5 and walking between us. My friend said she was gonna go get a drink and I said ok I'm gonna go sit with the kids. I watched her walk off a little ways, looked next to me and told my daughter let's go sit down. I walk to the tables maybe 20 seconds away, get there and my daughter was no longer w me. My heart fell. I freaked out. Started looking all around me. For the next couple of mins of running around I can finally see the concession stand and she was standing next to my BFF. She had ran after her. It was only a couple of minutes and it's been atleast 20yrs and I can still feel that panic. I feel so bad for the families of those boys. Awful it happened to those babies.
Before becoming a parent, I would naturally feel sad hearing these stories...but being a mom now, I cried hard. I couldn't even begin the imagine this level of pain
This is beyond heart wrenching. I just could not even imagine losing my child. Worst pain imaginable. I will be hugging my children tighter this Thanksgiving after watching this 💔
I’ll miss Plant Sleep! But life always comes first. I’m so thankful for those 12 awesome episodes! I always listen to the playlist on Spotify whenever I’m having anxiety falling asleep and it has helped 100% of the time. Love you two so, so much. Sending chill vibes your away ~
Have a great thanksgiving Josh and Kendall!! And Janelle! Thanks for this episode and for all the hard work you put in elsewhere . Thank you, Jesus for these two and bless them in every way. 🙏 ❤️
They should have investigated these older kids and their families for sure, I’m certain that would have found some answers! Maybe they should track them down now, that would be the best lead.
My 10 and 12 year old granddaughters absolutely love playing with 2 year olds and younger at our local park and friends homes. They adore toddlers and I don't find this strange at all. In saying that l don't think that's what happened here . I think they were involved somehow and not for good reasons. I think they were taken to be sold to other families
i just am confused how they could have young kids that brain washed that the police didn’t pick anything up when questioning them and the parents. then again the police do miss a lot but that’s the only thing that makes me think they are innocent
@@allysondenton.5673 you would be amazed at how young children can cover things up. Especially if they grew up with parents stealing children and than getting their children to help can make a child think that’s just the way it is….. another theory is the children were paid money or promise of toys or no harm to their family if they helped abduct other kids. Honestly and sadly crazier things have happened. Children can knowingly and unknowingly be just as cruel as adults, not typically but it does happen 🤷🏻♀️
What if” they “ took the first child , something happened and he passed away so” they” took another one , it would explain why the same person would take a second child
The episode of unsolved mysteries about this really scared and upset me as I'm the same age as Christopher and Shane and was a toddler living in a big city then too. My heart breaks for their moms. I pray that they are found alive and well. They are grown but still young, in their 30s, and could have many years with their mothers if found now. One of the strangest things to me about these cases was that it has been unsolved even with the very quick police action. The police shut down subways and had helicopters looking for them. How do you disappear with so many witnesses? I think a car had to have been involved to escape the area so quickly.
This was painful. I wonder...does anyone know where the girl and boy who lured one baby away, (Christopher, I think)? I would love to know if they can be questioned again all these years later.
Honestly I truly believe there is a special place in hell for anyone who hurts a child. May it be murder, molestation or selling them. I believe they burn. These poor mothers....
I definitely think that the cases are linked. Whoever took both boys somehow used the 10 year old and 5 year old to get ahold of Christopher then Shane months later. With kids being this young, I do think they were kidnapped either by someone or for someone who desperately wanted kids. It’s possible that both boys ended up growing up with each and were raised as brothers. Perhaps after Christopher was taken the person decided to grow their “family” by using the same method that worked the first time. My heart goes out to both families ❤️
I think it's odd that two siblings of the same age were playing with both kids. It's very likely the abductor either knew these two kids or possibly bribed these children to help in the abduction. These cases are heartbreaking absolutely a parents worst nightmare. I can't even imagine.
Those kids the 10 and 5 yr old have to be involved I'd bet the man on the bench is too. Which would lead me to think there's more than one adult involved. It's way to coincidental that both boys were seen playing with those kids right before they were taken. I think the cops dropped the ball clearing those 3
Even if it was just a coincidence that the kids were seen playing with both boys they may have seen something! I highly doubt the police properly questioned those kids. I hope they can be found and re-interviewed now that they are adults.
These investigators were absolutely amazing. This is how it should be done. These little guys and their precious families deserve everything good. ❤️ So sad that this happened to two very loved little ones.
Thank you guys so much for covering these smaller cases because they matter just as much! My heart breaks for these children and for their families. Also sending you two all the positive vibes after listening to the sesh this week.
I live in Brownsville of Brooklyn, I go through Harlem everyday, I have friends who live near/in MLK housing..had no idea how close this case would hit to home, my heart breaks for these kids.
Kendall..Josh.. much love. Take care of yourselves. You do so well taking care of every other living thing and those that aren’t living. I just hope y’all do the same for yourselves.
This is so heartbreaking… if they’re never found at least I hope that they are ok, safe, happy, living a “normal” life. And I pray that God will ease their mother’s pain 💔
My cousin got abducted from the hospital right after she was born. The lady who took her dressed up in scrubs and somehow got into the maternity ward where they keep the newborn babies and took my cousin. The cameras caught her and they got my cousin back. My cousin was born in 1989 and the story made it on the news and newspapers. On the newspaper there’s a family photo. I wasn’t born yet, but my half sister told me the story. My half sister is 18 years older than me. I’m not going to say my cousin’s name for privacy reasons, but this happened in West Covina, CA.
Not being able to find your kids at the park is immediate panic. It’s insane because I end up finding myself watching other people’s kids . My kids disappear under a slide and I’m freaking out
I’m officially old, cause y’all not knowing Geraldo had a show had me cracking up! He got his nose broken on his show fighting with racists one time. Classic show.

The sketchiest thing about this case that makes me think those kids were in on it was that they walked up to the mom and asked for permission to play with her kid because as a parent, and a former child, kids will just play with each other on the playground. They don’t ask permission, they don’t seek out another child’s parent or even know who to go to ask that too.
Good observation !
Thank you for covering Christopher and Shane’s cases, neither case has received the coverage they deserve.
This is my worst nightmare. I literally can't fathom their pain, I would need to be sedated if this happened to me. Absolutely heart renching 💔
Me too 😢☹️☹️☹️
On May 18, 1989 I turned one year old. This breaks my heart that on the day my parents were celebrating my first birthday Allison lost her son Christopher :(
The parents should've been watching their children more carefully.
@@fsheld5058 did you not hear that the second boy disappeared in a matter of seconds? easy to judge until it’s you
Allison had gone to the store, having asked her family to watch her little guy. It can happen in an instant.
i wonder if they kept record of those kids name and could maybe talk to them now that they are adults. Maybe now that they are grown they would be more willing to talk about what happened that day
I'm wondering the same
My son (8) asked what I was watching so I told him … he said he wants to build a time machine to go back and save those boys. 🥺
i wonder if the parents of the 5 and 10 year old are stage parents that the traffickers set up to ensure if the police suspected the kids. that way there would be adults around to keep them in check. wild theory but it’s not impossible
Not wild at all..very possible
That’s what I was thinkingggg
Could even be real parents and STILL be in on it
Yup I agree
that was my first thought too
Can I suggest doing monthly uploads for planet sleep instead of weekly. Planet sleep is my favorite to fall asleep too! I love all your channels and definitely don't want to see you burnt out!
Josh:it’s only being held up by 2 chains
Me: picturing 2 chainz actually holding up the sign
Omg same😂
I have a one year son and I can’t imagine the feelings and thoughts going through your head of your missing child and having no idea of their whereabouts! This hurts a lot to hear these cases
Yep, i've whitnessed it once (the girl wandered of and was found minutes later) but the moment her mom called her child once every parent on the playground started looking, my stomach dropped and meanwhile that littl cutie was further in the back watching squirrels. I haven't been so scared in a long time and it wasn't even my own child.
Literally just realized after almost 2 years of watching that the wind chime sound is coming from your breaks … not outside my house 🤦🏻♀️
Thank you Kendall and josh for continuing to cover these important cases despite going through a hard time in your life! We see and appreciate you both! You are so inspiring and brave❤️❤️
So heartbreaking. The 5 and 10 year old kids give me an unsettling feeling. 😔
Absolutely.
Can you please provide updates on the Ghislaine Maxwell trial? I always trust you guys to provide accurate and clear information about cases and current events.
Shaun Attwood covers a lot on RUclips, if you want to check it out
Trial starts this week
ugh this case is so sad and these little baby boys are the cutest i've ever seen! this is so sad and it makes me so mad that they were most likely targeted because of their race. it's awful that anyone would ever take these babies from the lives they were meant to have. praying they get home or are helping their families from heaven
I know the feeling of a panic attack. My 2 year old son got lost for 10 minutes at a playground as he was playing with his older siblings and cousins. As a mother I lost it, ran out with no shoes on and screaming all over the neighborhood. I wouldn't ever want to go through that again. Horrible feeling.
I’ve been binge watching all day, so happy to have a new one to watch. Thank you guys!
This case just breaks my heart so much. As a mom I would just go so crazy not knowing what happened to my babies 🥺 Praying and sending so much hugs to these women 🥺
I think this is one of the sickest crimes a person can commit. To carry your precious baby for 9 months, love them more than you thought you could ever love anything, have them change your life forever just for someone to steal them away without the poor child ever even being able to remember their family. So sad
I pray that they reinterview the 2 children that were playing with them at the park on both days of the disappearances. Maybe now that they’re adults they’d be more willing to share information
It’s unlikely those children are around anymore sadly
Right! They probably didn’t even realize what they were being there used for. Especially the younger one
@@kadeelacayo4806 um it was 1989 not 1940 lmao
@@AM-gt1yt not that they’re too old, but that bc they were probably members of a trafficking ring they wouldn’t be in the same place now and maybe they used fake names, and maybe they’re dead. Would be tough to track them down now
I definitely believe the kids have something to do with it also! That guy that made a distraction of his scars on the bench plus the kids.. that's definitely a setup. Some kids can be so brainwashed by their parents sadly so it's not surprising if that's what happened. I'm so heartbroken for this family, I really wish that they would get closer. I had one scare of my child being missing one time thankfully she was hiding.. Worst feeling in the entire world 🥺😭💔♥️
I love how you are covering these older cases!!!
Heartbreaking 💔 I am a mom of 4. About 6 years ago my husband and I took our kids to a book store, I told my husband I was looking for something specific and he agreed to keep the kids with him, after a few minutes he met up with me where I was to ask a question and then walks off again and I continued looking. Then when I went to find him one of my daughters wasn’t in sight and I asked him where she was, he said he left her with me. My heart sank and I immediately started panicking and searching he store, it was small and in a tourists town, i looked everywhere and couldn’t find her, I started sobbing and I was asking everyone if they had seen her. Then I was trying to recall if the bell on the door rang during that time because maybe someone took off with her. I remember after searching the restroom and the back of the building I said to my husband “ I wanna die!” I had so many feelings and thoughts at once but the one I really remember was I just couldn’t live anymore. It was only maybe 10 minutes of this, that’s how small the building was but we did find her! She was actually Hiding from us as we were looking and calling her name. I just scooped her up and started sobbing again and we left immediately, we ended our outing for the day and it took weeks for me to fully recover, I was having nightmares and it changed me forever, we now always have a strict plan we stick too when taking the kids out where we must stay in constant communication and eye contact must be made and some Kind of acknowledgment if one of us says they are leaving a certain child with the other. It’s the worst feeling I’ve ever felt.
I really have a feeling they are still alive but just under different identities and with different families. Because there are so many stories of this and it’s heartbreaking to know mothers and families have lost their children to such horrible monsters.
And Josh, don't worry about Planet Sleep, the Sahara episode alone will last me at least a year, perhaps 2😊❤
Definitely connected. Such a very sad story. Prayers to the families.
I've heard quite a bit of cases of using abducted kids luring other kids as a way to stay safe from the perpetrator. Even teens have been used to lure other teens. No ones really safe in these situation. When kids have been trained through abuse or anything scarring, they will lie because of how traumatized they are. Sad 😔 😟 😢 😭
I always warn my daughter not to trust grown women she doesn’t know. We have a secret word and I told her if there was ever a case I sent someone else to get her and wasn’t able to let her know, they’d know the secret word. Talk to your kids about these things and the potential to be lied to and manipulated. Be safe everyone ♥️
This happened in the case of Steven Stayner, and how he became a Hero. It gave him courage because he didn't want the little boy to suffer as he had. 🤍
Losing your child even for a minute is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING! I lost my daughter for about 5 minutes in a store when she was 4 and it was the most panicked and terrified I’ve ever been in my entire life. I just can’t even imagine what both of the boys mothers went through and are still going through.
Not Josh in the Hollister T-shirt in the throwback pic 😂😂😂😂 A 2010s king!
Having been around children it isn’t that odd for older kids to what to hang out with toddlers. Some kids just love babies and toddlers. It also isn’t that odd for kids to be pushy.
It IS odd the same kids were involved with both children. Unless there were not very many toddlers to play with, then it may just be coincidence
I do think it’s odd. My 10 year old wouldn’t okay with a toddler . He rather play and run around
I disagree, I find it very odd.
I agree! As a kid I always wanted to be around the younger kids because I found it easier to interact with them than kids my own age.
This case has always broken my heart. Those poor moms. I have two toddlers and it just destroys me to think of that happening to one of my boys. Ugh, I hope the 10 year old girl steps up and shares what she knows. She would remember all of it.
Right!.and there is no way she would be in any sort.of trouble.
My heart is breaking for these mammas .. these stories are so much harder when you are a parent. I pray these boys did have at least a happy good life and they find their way home.
It hits many people who don't have kids just as hard. Maybe before you became a parent you couldn't empathise but many without kids can
The feeling i get in the pit of my stomach listening to this.. ugh. Those cases are definitely connected. I literally feel it in my soul. P.s. glad y’all are doing good, I never know what to do with myself without new episodes! It’s how I get through my work day! 😂 hope you guys have a great holiday ❤️❤️
I really hope the boys are alive and grown and may just possibly not know they were taken. I hope they find answers soon. I can’t imagine the pain of time passing and not knowing :(
The parents should've been watching their children more carefully.
I’ve been watching you guys for years and it’s so refreshing to hear new cases that are not reported on enough. I am currently a master’s student in criminology and criminal justice and we hear the same cases all the time. thank you guys for reporting ❤️ also, wishing you all a happy and healthy Thanksgiving. ❤️ my heart is with you all during this tough time and hoping for things to look up in the future ❤️❤️
Kendall and Janelle: oh no, our sign 🪧 it’s broken. Anyway…
So tragic! I can't even imagine the pain that the family is going through. Thank you for sharing this case.
hey guys, just want to say an extra thank you for your commitment and dedication to sharing stories and spreading awareness and cultivating a community. i appreciate your sacrifice, which is the emotional undertaking this type of case work entails, and on top of that, the internet’s response to it. please never feel you are obligated to make that sacrifice whenever either of you feel tapped out on capacity. we will continue to love, support, and appreciate all that you do. you touch so many lives and help others, your platform provides a safer space amidst the chaos, and that is nothing short of a blessing that you have given us all. again, because it isn’t said enough, thank you❤️
Just woke up rolled a joint and was about to start dinner and bam! My two lovelies posted
This is so scary and heartbreaking! As a mom of 2 under 2. I have had an incident where my oldest climbed out of our apartment window and started wondering around outside. I wasnt in the living room at the time I was distracted in the other room with the baby. I didn't realize he left until 10 minutes later. I searched and searched outside crying desperate. I finally saw a cop car with lights on parked and walked up to them and asked if they found a little boy. Sure enough it was my little boy barefoot and in jammies. They said they tried to talk to him but has speech difficulties. Scariest moment as a mom.
literally cannot imagine the absolute nightmare that these women and their families have gone through. beyond heartbreaking
I completely appreciate why you had to put Planet Sleep on the shelf for now BUT just here to say I will be overjoyed if and I'll hope when you bring it back. Love everything y'all do. Keep at it. 💕
This couldn't have come at a better time. Going through a rough one right now, so thank you.
Hope you feel better soon. I’m struggling with some things too. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Me too. So hope you both feel better x
Thank you both, I wish good things for you too. Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Happy Thanksgiving 🤗🍁
I hope you are all having a good holiday! Glad to hear from you all this week! We know it's been crazy ❤
Aww Happy Thanksgiving guys, glad you got my well wishes! 🥰🦃
I cant even imagine these mother pain but I woke up one morning when my now 14 yo was 3 years old and he wasn't in his room. I went through the house looking for him and yelling for him. I notice the back door was open and ran out screaming for him. He was no where to be found. I quickly called 911 yelling my son is missing. It was a horrible feeling of emptiness. I was lucky ans the dispatch said calm down, is his name D. Yes! I said and they said. We have him, a retired police women found him on her walk and he could lead her back to which house was ours, so she took him home... one street away. I quickly walked to her house and there he was... playing with her grand children's toys.
What if Christopher died so whoever took him kidnapped Shane as well, to “replace” Christopher.
Also I wouldn’t rule out the family of those 2 kids.
Yes I just commented this I was thinking the same
I wondered that too , or that they wanted a second child , if it was an illegal adoption or something .
We love you guys!!! Please take care of yourselfs and eachother FIRST!!! We need you happy and healthy! Much love guys, you all just such good people!
That feeling is so real. My best friend and I went to the fair. I was holding her son and my daughter was 5 and walking between us. My friend said she was gonna go get a drink and I said ok I'm gonna go sit with the kids. I watched her walk off a little ways, looked next to me and told my daughter let's go sit down. I walk to the tables maybe 20 seconds away, get there and my daughter was no longer w me. My heart fell. I freaked out. Started looking all around me. For the next couple of mins of running around I can finally see the concession stand and she was standing next to my BFF. She had ran after her. It was only a couple of minutes and it's been atleast 20yrs and I can still feel that panic. I feel so bad for the families of those boys. Awful it happened to those babies.
Before becoming a parent, I would naturally feel sad hearing these stories...but being a mom now, I cried hard. I couldn't even begin the imagine this level of pain
This is beyond heart wrenching. I just could not even imagine losing my child. Worst pain imaginable. I will be hugging my children tighter this Thanksgiving after watching this 💔
They should track down those children and question them now that they are adults. If they were being controlled/groomed they may talk now.
I’ll miss Plant Sleep! But life always comes first. I’m so thankful for those 12 awesome episodes! I always listen to the playlist on Spotify whenever I’m having anxiety falling asleep and it has helped 100% of the time.
Love you two so, so much. Sending chill vibes your away ~
Stealing a BABY from their MOTHER is a different type of evil. I truly can’t fathom the pain these parents felt and are still feeling.
Have a great thanksgiving Josh and Kendall!! And Janelle!
Thanks for this episode and for all the hard work you put in elsewhere .
Thank you, Jesus for these two and bless them in every way. 🙏 ❤️
Just sobbed through this entire episode. Wow, those babies are beautiful.
Love your stories. They are very much appreciated. Much love to the Mile Higher Family 💖
as someone from the bronx this case isn’t even surprising i’m actually surprised it doesn’t happen as much 😓very very sad
It does it's just most of the time they don't make the mainstream media.
I love you guys ! you have no idea how much your 3 podcasts are helpful.
They should have investigated these older kids and their families for sure, I’m certain that would have found some answers! Maybe they should track them down now, that would be the best lead.
My 10 and 12 year old granddaughters absolutely love playing with 2 year olds and younger at our local park and friends homes. They adore toddlers and I don't find this strange at all. In saying that l don't think that's what happened here . I think they were involved somehow and not for good reasons. I think they were taken to be sold to other families
i just am confused how they could have young kids that brain washed that the police didn’t pick anything up when questioning them and the parents. then again the police do miss a lot but that’s the only thing that makes me think they are innocent
@@allysondenton.5673 you would be amazed at how young children can cover things up. Especially if they grew up with parents stealing children and than getting their children to help can make a child think that’s just the way it is….. another theory is the children were paid money or promise of toys or no harm to their family if they helped abduct other kids. Honestly and sadly crazier things have happened. Children can knowingly and unknowingly be just as cruel as adults, not typically but it does happen 🤷🏻♀️
What if” they “ took the first child , something happened and he passed away so” they” took another one , it would explain why the same person would take a second child
I was thinking this too..
I was thinking about this as well.
The episode of unsolved mysteries about this really scared and upset me as I'm the same age as Christopher and Shane and was a toddler living in a big city then too. My heart breaks for their moms. I pray that they are found alive and well. They are grown but still young, in their 30s, and could have many years with their mothers if found now. One of the strangest things to me about these cases was that it has been unsolved even with the very quick police action. The police shut down subways and had helicopters looking for them. How do you disappear with so many witnesses? I think a car had to have been involved to escape the area so quickly.
This was painful. I wonder...does anyone know where the girl and boy who lured one baby away, (Christopher, I think)? I would love to know if they can be questioned again all these years later.
Looking forward to hearing about this case. Hope everyone has a good week! 😌
Hope so for you too maria!
@@dohachennaoui2717 thank you!
Honestly I truly believe there is a special place in hell for anyone who hurts a child. May it be murder, molestation or selling them. I believe they burn. These poor mothers....
I definitely think that the cases are linked. Whoever took both boys somehow used the 10 year old and 5 year old to get ahold of Christopher then Shane months later. With kids being this young, I do think they were kidnapped either by someone or for someone who desperately wanted kids. It’s possible that both boys ended up growing up with each and were raised as brothers. Perhaps after Christopher was taken the person decided to grow their “family” by using the same method that worked the first time. My heart goes out to both families ❤️
I think it's odd that two siblings of the same age were playing with both kids. It's very likely the abductor either knew these two kids or possibly bribed these children to help in the abduction. These cases are heartbreaking absolutely a parents worst nightmare. I can't even imagine.
What about the man who was talking to one of the mothers about crime in the area and it not being safe for kids anymore? Was he ever questioned?
good point!!! that is definitely something a kidnapper would come back and do.
He was cleared by police
Those kids the 10 and 5 yr old have to be involved I'd bet the man on the bench is too. Which would lead me to think there's more than one adult involved. It's way to coincidental that both boys were seen playing with those kids right before they were taken. I think the cops dropped the ball clearing those 3
I concur, it’s very possible that the parents of those kids weren’t even their actual parents.
Even if it was just a coincidence that the kids were seen playing with both boys they may have seen something! I highly doubt the police properly questioned those kids. I hope they can be found and re-interviewed now that they are adults.
These investigators were absolutely amazing. This is how it should be done. These little guys and their precious families deserve everything good. ❤️ So sad that this happened to two very loved little ones.
Thank you guys so much for covering these smaller cases because they matter just as much! My heart breaks for these children and for their families. Also sending you two all the positive vibes after listening to the sesh this week.
I live in Brownsville of Brooklyn, I go through Harlem everyday, I have friends who live near/in MLK housing..had no idea how close this case would hit to home, my heart breaks for these kids.
Kendall..Josh.. much love. Take care of yourselves. You do so well taking care of every other living thing and those that aren’t living. I just hope y’all do the same for yourselves.
This is so heartbreaking… if they’re never found at least I hope that they are ok, safe, happy, living a “normal” life. And I pray that God will ease their mother’s pain 💔
My cousin got abducted from the hospital right after she was born. The lady who took her dressed up in scrubs and somehow got into the maternity ward where they keep the newborn babies and took my cousin. The cameras caught her and they got my cousin back. My cousin was born in 1989 and the story made it on the news and newspapers. On the newspaper there’s a family photo. I wasn’t born yet, but my half sister told me the story. My half sister is 18 years older than me. I’m not going to say my cousin’s name for privacy reasons, but this happened in West Covina, CA.
Wishing all of the MH family a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m really enjoying your content. ♥️
Not being able to find your kids at the park is immediate panic. It’s insane because I end up finding myself watching other people’s kids . My kids disappear under a slide and I’m freaking out
I LITERALLY just watched the unsolved episode last weekend and me and my friend were discussing all the possibilities. I felt so bad for these moms 💔
Incredible upload timing!!
No worries about Planet Sleep! Honestly, I still rewatch all the episodes. I’m glad they’re there 💕
As a mother, I hope and pray 🙏🏻 that they are found and can reunite with their families.
You guys make my week so much better I can’t thank you enough!
I’m officially old, cause y’all not knowing Geraldo had a show had me cracking up! He got his nose broken on his show fighting with racists one time. Classic show.
