Call Off The Dogs!

Remember this? Some of you who have been with me since last Spring/Summer will recognize this Missing Child poster. On and off since around last May or so, I’ve asked you to be on the lookout for little Amedeo Cuomo, whose non-custodial mother kidnapped him and disappeared. Amedeo’s father is the friend of a friend of mine, and was absolutely frantic about his disappearance. The FBI and Interpol were both looking for him and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children published this poster. A number of you blogged about this and many more started e-mailing their friends all over the world.

Where In The World Is Amedeo Cuomo? is the question I posed. Well, I have good news – that question has been answered! Amedeo and his mother have been found in Costa Rica. By way of Austria. The mother is currently in custody on immigration violations (false documents with false identities, etc.) and of course, child-stealing (for which she will probably be extradited back to the U.S.). All personally verified by me through several independent sources, including law enforcement. I don’t know all the details, so I’m not going to start spreading wild rumors and speculation here.

While Amedeo and his father have been reunited, they are not home yet – red tape and all of that – but hopefully, soon.

So, Thank You! to all of you out there in Blogger Land! I’d like to think we made a difference. We may never know. But one thing I do know: There’s one less missing child out there, and we all cared.
