    Alas, nobody will ever find me, as I have an absurdly common name.

    And yet, if it was the mother who had taken her son to another country, everyone would be rooting for her to not be found.

    @fgg_1: Worstie!


    Seriously, what possible precedent could you have for saying that? My ex-boyfriend's mom kidnapped him when he was a child, and I don't recall anyone "rooting" for her.

    The HuckleberryBoyfriend actually had a similar experience- his father left when he was just a baby and he doesn't know him at all, but he has his father's last which is a really unusual one. One day he got a FB message from someone in Edmonton saying "Um, I think I'm your step-sister!" Turns out his Dad had been populating the province long after HuckleberryBoyfriend being born. We still keep in touch with his sister and her family. It was totally weird but also really cool.

    and hear i thought facebook was for stalking friends, classmates, frenemies, posting obnoxious status messages and trying to prove to everyone that your life doesn't suck (party pics, number of friends=really who has 800 friends?). Nice story!

    Facebook brings families together, its true. We found a cousin recently through Facebook, and poor thing had no other family outside of her sisters since their mom died.


    Luckily for her my grandmother had 10 kids, and about 80 grandkids, so they got a huge family in under a week.

    wow. how could you do that to someone? how could you kidnap your own child, and keep them from their parent? and how did he get away with it for so long? that's scary. i'm glad she found her son. but the system really failed both of them.

    OK, I'll relax my Facebook annoyance a bit for this.


    But Twitter will continue to draw my deepest ire.
