I read the article abducted Canadian boy returned home unharmed by ABC's Olivia Katrandjian reported on September 11 2011.A Canadian three year old boy Kienan Hebert was abducted from his bedroom on  Wednesday night September 7th.His parents put him to be that night and woke up to find him not in his bedroom.after several days of searching for the boy.The Canadian royal police go an anonymous a phone call at 3am in the morning saying that the little boy was back at home.The police went to the child's home to see him sitting on the couch.The police are not sure how the suspect got in and out with out being notice with the cops watching the house.He was returned right after a plea from his parents for them" to have a change of heart and bring their son home".he was taken right to the hospital to make sure he was okay he appears to be unharmed all his parents had to say was "Kienan is happily home," his emotional father, Paul Hebert, told reporters. "He's playing with his brothers and sisters."the officer in charge said “We’ve got a child back. We’ve got a child returned. I’ve never been able to say that,” Moskaluk said. “Half of this is over now.”although the child has been returned they now need to find the suspect.the only lead the police have to go on is the sex offender Randall Hopley who live in the same neighborhood they are following this lead because Hopley has at least 11 assault and burglary convictions, and was also accused of attempting to abduct and molest a Sparwood boy in 2007.

As i was reading this article i was trying to figure out why a person would kidnap a child,they are so innocent.From just what i read they don't seem to have very good police officers up in Canada how did they not see the suspect come and bring the child home and leave with out getting caught.the police are refusing to tell how many officers were watching the house.I wonder if this ever happens in America because poor police work we lose child abductors.why the suspect who had so many assault charges on him hadn't already been arrested is kind of a weird thing to find out and why did he all of the sudden just decide to bring him back to his parents.Even the officer said he has never heard of a case where the child is returned unharmed.

  1. Hi Kristy I agree with the fact of why a person would kidnap an innocent child. It makes me kind of wonder will our children ever be safe anywhere. I believe to prevent this from happening again we should install house alarms to every house that has a child in it to be safe. Another thing I think we should do is not leave our kids alone or have them go by themselves anywhere because that is another reason they can get kidnap. I think we should have a better police system so we can find kidnap children right away. I agree that it is weird that the police haven't arrested Randall Hopley who was convicted of at least 11 assault and burglary convictions, and was accused of attempting to abduct and molest a Sparwood boy in 2007. The reason for that is someone with that many charges who be instantly bought to jail. Another thing is not many sexual offenders bring back their victims they usually keep them around or kill them. It makes me wonder why the change of heart? Another thing is will we ever find the person who attempted to kidnap this 3 year boy?

  2. This just makes me sad! I never understand why anyone would want to kidnap innocent little children. When I was younger I used to be afraid of these kinds of things all the time. I think it is important that we teach our kids to how to spot someone who might not be good and to teach them to tell someone when something is wrong. If they know that then we might be able to put somewhat of a stop to this.

  3. This article makes me want to cry when i hear news about little children running away or getting abducted from their houses or away from there parents. I think that it is really important to make sure children if they aren't old enough to make sure someone is with them, and teach your child to never talk to strangers. I agree with Taylor that families I think these days should have an alarm system to ensure there child is protected.
