It is my pleasure and honor to comment on Child Watch and the tremendous work they do and accomplish. I lived every parents nightmare when my children went missing in 1989 for almost 6 years. My ex-husband abducted them after a long bitter custody battle, which I finally won full custody. I tried desperately to find them with the help of my family and friends, but after two years of searching my hopes began to fade. The police couldn’t really help me as they didn’t have the manpower and time to invest into my case,and after all it wasn’t a stranger that took them, it was their father. If my memory serves me right, Child Watch contacted me four years into my children’s abduction with an offer I couldn’t refuse…..HELP….and it was FREE!!!! I was elated to finally have a voice for my children and they gave me something I hadn’t had in a very long time…..HOPE.

To make a long story short, Child Watch worked effortlessly with every lead that came their way and many hours of investigating and staking out relatives homes and possible locations where my children might have been. There were a few close calls to finding them, but through no fault of their own, different police agencies arrived too late to apprehend my ex-husband and the children. As you can imagine, those times just crushed me, but I was always reassured by Child Watch that they would not ever give up on me or the children and they would find them. Don Wood, the president of Child Watch worked with law enforcement and the D A’s office and with undaunting persistence my children were finally located living in the back woods of the Ozarc mountains in Missouri. I will never be able to express my profound thanks and gratitude to Child Watch for their dedication and time spent in helping me when no one else would. I would never have been able to pay for all the investigative work hours, travel and so much more that Child Watch put into helping me. I can honestly say that Child Watch gave me my life back when they found and returned my children to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!
