Re: Three brothers missing...
Not trying to belabor a horrific story. The men in Oregon that killed their families but managed to flee, hid, etc. All begged for mercy and now are serving life sentences. The irony is that their initial story was that they wanted to kill themselves too. uh huh....waste of my tax dollars.

Re: Three brothers missing...
Those poor boys are probably dead. He most likely killed them and then tried to take his own life.

I can't get into the thoughts of someone like that...You want to kill yourself? Do so, but leave the children alone or anyone else in the family. Why do they feel they have to take everyone with them. I will never understand the thoughts of a sick mind.

The article doesn't explain why "dad" left the kids to go kill himself..
 Quoting: BRIEF AND TO THE POINT


He "claimed," that he was sending them back to their mother, because he was planning to kill himself and didn't want the boys to find him.

They're still not found. A couple areas in Ohio were searched today, as well as Michigan. Some of the areas are rough to get around in when it's decent, and plain miserable when it isn't.

Not yet known if the search will continue tomorrow. Supposed to rain all day. IMO, if they aren't found soon, they won't be found.

Re: Three brothers missing...
John Skelton, 39, claims that he gave his sons to a friend named "Joann Taylor." He said that he met Taylor several years ago and the two had been involved in an online relationship, and she likely lived in southern Michigan.

But Weeks said Monday that he can confirm that "there's no established relationship between he and the person he described to us as Joann Taylor."

When asked by reporters if Skelton lied about such a relationship, Weeks replied: "Correct."

:-( this is looking bad for these poor boys :-( I cannot understand why he would choose to do this. They were visiting him as mom has custody- why not just send them home?
The whole story is reminding me more and more of the Caylee Anthony case here in Fl, Mom claimed she gave her to some woman that later turned out not to know the mother.The little ones bones were finally found in a vacant lot not far from home.
heartbreak
sigh the photos of the boys are absolutely heartbreaking... so much innocence in their eyes.I hope with all my heart that they are ok and returned to their family.

 Quoting: Thoughts Faux Fodder

Yes, very sad. Neither the woman, nor her "minister husband," have been located. The father of the boys is in a psychiatric facility right now. Smart move for him, even if it wasn't his choice.

The parents of the boys were in the process of divorcing. It would be kind to say that maybe he was depressed, but would be reasonable to think that he was calculating how much child support would be paid over how many years.

It's not looking good for the boys.

 Quoting: Hickory

I don't know either. Makes me wonder if it's always happened and we just didn't hear about it, or if it's becoming more common.

The father had lost his job, the marriage was falling apart. Maybe it was more than he could handle. Seems that adults that have more than they can handle, often don't wonder if the child too, has things they can't handle. In the midst, 3 little boys are gone. Very selfish and self centered world we're living in.

That's for sure. We all probably tinker with the idea of suicide at various times in our lives but we don't act on them because we don't want to hurt other people. I mean, seriously if I didn't have my son, there really is NO telling where I'd be today. He's probably the only reason I even bother to get up in the morning.

I don't think you've understood it correctly. The father did not "give the kids up." They're gone. Probably dead. The woman he "claimed" to give them to, doesn't exist.

The father has been arrested and charged with parental kidnapping. Hopefully, he'll tell where they are located.

Right now, the skies are so gray it's like late evening. It's drizzled rain all day. The wind is blowing. Those boys wouldn't have a chance even if they'd been dropped off alive.

How 'bout a break for them. They had no choice in the matter. The father did. Hopefully, you just misunderstood the article.

Oh no.

From your article:

Early Tuesday, volunteers renewed their search for the boys, despite Morcenci Police Chief Weeks saying such a search will not have "a positive outcome."

"We know it's a recovery mission right now," said Beverly Bovee, who has been out searching since Saturday. "For Tanya and the family, we've got to. That's what it's about."

Chief Weeks said at Tuesday morning news briefing that his somber news is based on information from everyone involved in the case, including John Skelton, who he said has not told them what has happened to the boys
