The abduction of a child is a tragedy. No one can fully understand or appreciate what a parent goes through at such a time, unless they have faced a similar tragedy. Every parent responds differently. Each parent copes with this nightmare in the best way he or she knows how.

Sometimes it seems as though all parents are certain that their children are victims of abuse by other children.

My daughters have grown up knowing all about my kidnapping and the case and what happened.

Adam's abduction was our private hell - but it was not an isolated incident. On any given day, any number of children are absent from their homes for diverse and numerous reasons.

Parenting isn't just parenting your own child.

There are a multitude of mothers in the world who have a daughter who is stolen, or who are stolen daughters themselves.

The unjustifiable severity of a parent is loaded with this aggravation, that those whom he injures are always in his sight.

It's quite difficult for a parent to know that their daughter is in great danger.

The fate of a child is in the hands of his parents.

I've decided the secret of parenting is benevolent neglect.
