“For a long time I wanted to join them up in heaven,” he admitted. “But God chose another path for me, so I’ve decided to dedicate my life to putting bad guys away and leading a Christian life, until God calls me home to be with my family.”

Right now, she didn’t care about anything except getting her son back safe and sound.

Please keep my son safe.
