Just another case of poor people’s kids being stolen and having no legal recourse.
The “See also” section on that article is bonkers.

Yeah, I’m not surprised. I’d imagine an experience like being kidnapped would really change someone. Glad the little fella’s made it back to his family.

Oh shit, is Ken M still around?
that’s his signature, proof enough for me
God I wish, lol. Pretty sure he’s long since retired.
This headline just inspired me to channel his spirit, lol.
Ken M. works like the dread pirate Roberts. You are the new Ken M. now.
Man, and the kid they DID bring back they basically stole from another family.
The cops just found a guy who was on a trip repairing pianos with a kid that slightly looked like the one they were looking for. They arrested him and took the kid. Even when the mother came to town to attest that it was her kid, they gave her the run around and, since she was too poor to fight it in court, stole her kid. Those kids didn’t even look anything alike… People nowadays don’t seem too bright on average, but I think maybe people back then were extra stupid.

i’m suprised no one seems to have point-blank asked him who his parents were in court, or if they did why that wasn’t the beginning and end of the case
This was back in the era where ‘children should be seen and not heard’. So the kid and his opinions weren’t considered important, unfortunately.
Well nobody was seeing the kid because the two look nothing alike in that comparison photo from the newspapers.
Four is old enough to know who your parents are though.
I think you meant to reply to the comment about him being only four.
I did. Fuck.
It’s too late now. Look at what you’ve done!
Because he was a four year old boy, I reckon.
Yep! Where’s the voice of the child?
This American Life did a full episode on this.
