Missing Kids Who Were Found Alive Years Later 

It's like movie material. True dedication, burned all his time, savings, and ten bikes.

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399why would you think that

@@redbrixanimations it's not like it's guaranteed that is how that man would have acted towards a daughter or anything, but older Asian culture puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of sons. China's "one child" policy led to many Chinese daughters being abandoned or adopted outside of the country because everyone wanted their one child to be a son. It was so severe it led to a fairly significant gender gap

@@spatchmo6938 makes sense. I once watched this earthquake movie and a mother could only save one of her children, and she picked her son over her daughter.

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399shut up

I saw a documentary on this. Yeah, he’s pretty much a hero.

But he'd spent most of his life away from them. Theyre just strangers to him. It mustve been really weird for him

If it was a girl, he would have done nothing, let’s be honest.

@@misanthropic_shithead7438 That's still his blood son and still his blood dad!

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399That’s mean to say

Looking into it further would require Emily to show up in court and/or give testimony, which would bring her in contact with the family she does not want to be a part of. It's entirely possible it's a case of her coming out as gay and the family essentially disowning her for it, but not telling the extended family what happened, hence the cousin.

I used to want to runaway when i was 12 because my mom didn't let me play fortnite, probably a dumb reason for Emily too

​@@HaIfTruism I used to wanna runaway bc my incubator would threaten to off herself anytime we did anything she didn't like. Could be the same for Emily

My wife ran away because her dog ate her own poop, could be the same for Emily@@jayking2228

@@HaIfTruism Sounds like you had an easy childhood. Not everyone does. A huge portion of kids who run away at a young age like Emily, and who don't want anything to do with their families afterward, do so because of physical, mental, and/or sexual abuse. That's not a "dumb reason." It's doing what you have to do to survive.

What a good father and man. Where can i find the whole story? Thank you for the info!! God bless him 🙏🏻 ❤️

Thank you for telling us! Very interesting!

How do I find his story

Amazing ❤❤❤❤

@@todioodio9222 If yall search father searches for son for 24 years on youtube it should pop up! It’s definitely a tear jerker 😭 the father is a whole hero!

How do you even continue on in life, how do you plan things and do errands

@@marie9524 For them.

​@@marie9524same as ya always did.

Depends on the situation, some wants to get as far away from their parents as possible! Why do some go missing and never make a phone call home? There must be a reason for that. It's not all about how the parents must feel.

for years! really sad you might come to think how God let this things happens.

Only because it was a boy, would’ve never done that for a daughter

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399Stop it

@@lathafalls7675 it’s the truth, many of them even abandoned their daughters. Especially with the one child policy they wanted a boy. Now they have a shortage of women.

​@@notyourtypicalcomment2399Just stop. You don't know what you're talking about. Spamming every thread with your negativity is ridiculous.

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399your a troll aren’t you?

bro is *THE* real one, imagine trying to find your child in a country bigger than the USA with 1 billion people

@@ehannasir8464 that would be insane

Didn't expect to see you here

You will not say that about any of the ppl who ruin their relationships, lives and finances and DON'T find their child. Those ppl, you'll lable very differently. Thus, let's not glorify, shall we? Because not giving up is one thing, but having your wife now having to worry about losing you, by getting into accidents repeatedly, is most certainly not what you'd call a good partner either. There is good measure for everything. Even for how to practice hope, without putting everything on the line. Also, what now? What a challenge for the found kid to know that father wrecked his health and finances. Can you imagine the emotional load that hits you? It's easy to pass judgements of all sorts, as a bystander, but reality is far more nuanced than that.

@@KxNOxUTA the reason people praise him is because of his determination and low resources. Sure he put everything on the line but he had very little to begin with and i would assume if he tried finding his child for 24years he probably wouldn't be able to live with himself not searching, mental health directly links to life expectancy even in good health and finances it still would eat away at him perhaps more than if he searched which seems to be his coping mechanism

You bet they do!! As a former runaway, a kid doesn't runaway for no reason. There's stuff going on that would make anyone leave. Facts!

​​@@leanajo754 you don't know that family. So, why speculate? Emily could have been groomed to leave with someone. Groomers would make a point of telling kids that adults can't be trusted, wouldn't they? If there was a problem in the home, she could have reached out to her wider family, teachers or even her cousin before she left. Groomers gaslight *every relationship* the child has with anyone who gets in the way of what the groomer wants. It's silly to suggest otherwise.

$100 bucks Mother had a guy who molested her and refused to believe her child. Or worse blamed the girl. I’m so glad she survived and is thriving now.

@@leanajo754there was a recent case of a girl being found and she didn’t want to go back home, but that’s because she was now an adult after being found, and was still living with the man who groomed her, and who also convinced her to leave, aka, lured her away. it isn’t always the parents.

​@@leanajo754 could be a multitude of reasons that we have no idea about. She would be far far from the first teen who had a boyfriend who was bad for her that her family hates but she won't leave and that creates a wedge. That's just one scenario stop assuming.

alive, that is

@@nippersnippers9178 💀💀💀💀

Geez, I would be crying hard.

The girl who ran away without saying a word was just selfish.

@@blackmamba___ ok? lol

I assure u they didnt even care. They should take some more acting classes

Neat ​@@Richardo004

​@@Richardo004on Mainland China news media, it's reported the father while searching for his own abducted son, he also helped more families find their separated relatives and children. In 2012, he launched Tianya Relative Searching Network. It eventually leads to the launch of Tianya Family Searching Volunteers Association in September 2014. I had to comment as it's contrary to what you stated. This father has shown extraordinary love. In his search for his own son, he helped other families who faced similar circumstances like he did. His persistence moved even the local authorities and volunteers come forward in the spread of anti-trafficking information and training. His story even inspired a movie titled "Lost and Love" that created more awareness about the abduction of children.

@@Richardo004 Yeah I'm sure the father searched 24 years just for fun. It was a big set up for the final performance. What kind of logic do you operate on in day to day life?

@@roadkill1172 yh you know sometimes ppl lie, u would know if u talk to them once in a while

His reward was seeing his son after 20 years

​@@jaynehogue2459 that's the biggest reward he could ever get.

The biggest award of all> his son :)

How awful for you. Have you considered putting your DNA in the system so they can check it against any John Does? All the best.

​@@frances7771Great advice!

😥

I'm sorry to hear this. Stay strong. God bless you ❤

I am so sorry to hear this, and I wish I could give you a hug. I know that may not mean anything but the not knowing is excruciating, as is the loss of time with someone you loved. I hope you have been able to have had some semblance of a happy life and family. I wish you nothing but happiness and healing.

happens LOADS in China, due to their old One Child Policy, there's eyewatering videos on it

@@xxkissmeketutxx Yet another reason why that law sucks!😡

​@@Herowebcomicsit's not a law anymore they changed it because the birth rate was too low.

@@Vtorious123 Well,I still hate it! I am glad it's gone though!😎

It's not exclusive to China. It happened a lot in the 40s and 50s in the United States too. Some lady had her own black market of telling new mothers their babies died shortly after birth and sold them to families for enormous profits.

Who knows

This made me cry😭 Im so sorry for you and your family. God bless yall

I hope he comes back to you guys in one piece!! I am so sorry you had to go through that!! 😢

OMG...How??? So sorry...so sorry...I don't know what to say...

hes out there somewhere big bro

Do u think he would have done that for his daughter? Nope.

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 white women try not to be racist towards poc men challenge.

@@rileysjonger4192(IMPOSSIBLE)

@@notyourtypicalcomment2399 disgusting mindset

Just doesn't seem right. The police should check where she's living. Just because you walk in the police office and say you're ok doesn't mean she's ok. Remember that girl who was kidnapped and wouldn't leave? That's because she was afraid her rapist would hurt her children.

@@miryamishot Or it could be that her parents were abusive and/or disowned her for being gay. You dont know the story, it's entirely possible that Emily needed to get out of a bad situation and wants nothing to do with them. I think it's more telling that the cousin was the one who cares most, NOT the parents.

​@@GummyDinosaursifyor it could be many other things.

@@miryamishot Do you really think the police would not have noticed if she has lied or had injuries? How do you know she was not inspected by a doctor? How do you know she did not give her location to the police to check on her? How do you know the police did not follow her home, just to be sure she is safe?

​@@GummyDinosaursifyyou're clinging hard to that gay theory, huh? I'm not saying it's impossible. But if her family wanted nothing to do with her, they wouldn't ask her to come home. Probably wouldn't even report her missing.

Same! My 8 yr old son has level 3 Autism and he's an elopement risk. This is one of my biggest fears, him running off and not being able to find him. He doesn't have the ability to understand that he would be in danger and he has limited communication which doesn't help. He didn't say his first word until right before his 7th birthday. I couldn't imagine going through having my child missing.

That police officer asking if he'd like to warm up in his cruiser has a good heart. Didn't immediately act suspicious like a cop.

​@@Xessa82 Autocorrect took the "devel" part of word away.

Same! My son has it and I could only imagine how he’s been feeling this whole time all alone😢

​@@2degucitasHe wasn't wise

I'm very worried about the one with Emily because she could have ended up abducted and graped ... and held against her will and had a child or two with that person and because she loves her kids so much has tried not to escape and accepts her fate or has Stockholm Syndrome . There's got to be a reason she doesn't want to see her family and unless they had done something nasty or harsh to her something's not adding up with her wanting her family to have no part of her life . I hope that somehow a detective can find where she lives and they can watch her to see if they see anything weird to corroborate what I've said . Or she could want to be with the family and maybe they threatened her saying you'll never see your kids again if you visit your folks . You could tell something's wrong she did not really look genuinely happy it's like she was under pressure and trying to put on an act

@@gardensofthegods yup you literally typed out my thoughts exactly. That’s why I said either it was a good thing she left(for her own mental and physical well being) or a bad thing, like what you said may have turned into something else. There’s a reason only she has to tell. The fact she showed up to a police station and not to her family kinda drops some sort of suspicion.

I agree. Emily story deserves a little more attention. Curious what is behind the staying away from family that on the surface seems caring.

My thoughts exactly. That is very very strange. Somthing definitely is not right. 😢

Notice, too, it was the cousin who did the story, not the parents.

I keep thinking she feel in love with someone forbidden 🚫

@@nanciperal7531 Possibly. Although, I read that it was likely more about previous abuse of some sort.

I had a very good friend who left home when she was 16. She hated her father and her brother, but she loved her mother. She would endure having to encounter the others just to see her, but most of the time she only agreed to meet if it was just her mum. I had one experience with being with both her parents for a short car ride. I immediately understood why she hated him. He was the coldest, most ignorant, most arrogant and controlling man I had ever met. I was only in his company for ten minutes but it was the most uncomfortable ten minutes of my life. I have never met a person who could make me loathe their character in such a short time, so I instantly understood. When he died my friend celebrated. She refused to attend the funeral. I have no doubt there was more that I was never told. Emily reminds me of her. For her to run away, and to not want contact, something bad has gone on in that family and she doesn't want to tell them, or they wouldn't believe her if she did. So instead of causing more pain and drama, she's getting on with her life away from all of them.

Or it has nothing to do with romance and she just wanted to have her own life.

@@Emma88178At the age of 15? She just had to wait 3 years if she just wanted her own life lol

Yes

I cried like a baby went my cat went missing 😭

one of my cats got scared of the fireworks during xmas festivities and ran away int he middle of the night. we kept looking for him , still hasn't come home. I kept hoping he'd come back or that found a nice family who'd take care of him, at least

Lol I was jumping over fences and hedges in peoples back gardens just last week looking for our 6 month old cat, window was only open a touch. Got the little fella though

I totally agree 😢😢😢

I know what you mean. Last year there was a beautiful solid white cat with orange amber eyes and he was around here for about three months then one day he was gone as mysteriously as he appeared. He was such a beautiful cat he had to belong to someone. He was very loving would follow me to the mail box follow around behind me going to the trash. I called him Snowball he was the most beautiful solid white cat. I miss him so much. But he wasn't mine.......😢

I cannot imagine all the anguish and anxiety they went through, but definitely feel their tearful joy in holding their son again.

I did not get a good feeling about her at all and I think it's possible that she could have ended up in a situation where she could have been abducted and graped if you know what I'm saying and gotten pregnant and had a child or two ... And what if she has something like Stockholm syndrome where she's still with that person and what if they told her to lie and say she's doing good or she'll never see her kids again

She certainly did not look happy even though she tried to give that impression you could feel how uptight she was so something's not right . She didn't say anything that her family had been mean to her and that's why she left or that it was an abusive household . I think the family needs to find out from the police if they know where she lives and hire a private detective to find out what's really going on with her .

@@gardensofthegods She probably has a "I do what I want" attitude.

⁠@@wright1985they’re saying graped because RU-vid likes to suppress comments or delete them saying the word without the g.

​@@wright1985...so what if your comment can be seen, some people don't want to *risk* having their comment "hidden" for typing certain words 🤷🏽‍♀️

elope?

@@arianna3649 yea it’s when an autistic child is stressed or overwhelmed and leaves or simply just runs away for no reason at all. My son does it quite often. As soon as the front door opens he tries to run.

@@theuzumakikay8647 ohh alr I’m sorry. But I’m sure your doing an amazing job razing your kid.

At 18, they’re allowed to leave.

once you’re of age, you can go anywhere, by law.

Isnt that one of the traits of a helicopter parent?

The last kid was abuse by his own parents and got so bad he lean away from home.

So true. Since she didn't wanna see her family probably means her family was the reason she left.

I know! What is the rest of the story?? Her mom seemed very calm getting the news her daughter want nothing to with her

@@Rosiepoohtargaryen that wasn't her mom it said it was her cousin

Right or was she still u see duress perhaps has a child that was kept in order to allow her to walk in and say she has a “WONDERFUL “ support system but I don’t want my family to know where I am. Crazy! Or Stockholm syndrome. 😢

What happened to them it was nice of you to help her

Or parents did abuse them. That can also be.

Well, in that situation, do you think that they had anything to call with?

​@@kianballikar yes, I'm sure they could find a police station or a place where they would allow him to talk to someone

Well what do you think?? They're sitting at a gas station with employee's inside and dont ask to call 911@@kianballikar

Don't judge. You don't know them. What if you were from a chaotic house before and now have some peace and quiet? What if they're threatened with harm or death by their captors? What if the missing person's family is just playing up an act on TV and behind closed doors they will be in danger again? What if they just wanted to leave but had an overbearing family who would manipulate and guilt them? You. Don't. Know! ​@@xoslvr

They were given permission to take him on holiday but didn't bring him back. They then moved around as part of a "spiritual commune" and he stayed with them until he decided to "leave". Although, considering he was walking at night and sheltering during the day, and this was in winter, I'd say it was more a case of escaping rather than leaving.

he was with his mom and his grandfather....maybe he was where he was supposed to be you know..

I listened to the audio book that Jaycee narrates herself. It's a difficult read but you marvel at how strong she was and how she was able to overcome such an ordeal.

She was taken I think by an occult couple wasn't she ?

I'm having trouble understanding this because how do you know he's been found ... what is the source of that info ? If he hasn't changed his name officially or his social security number you should be able to track him down through a private detective . Something doesn't add up here I don't know if he's mentally ill and has paranoid schizophrenia or is with a cult and a sort of brainwashed ? Did you talk to police ?

@gardensofthegods I've searched his name online and found a picture of him only when he was a kid the picture had a link to a website of California missing people so anyways I saw his name and picture on the site showing it has been updated in 2012 mentioning he's been found. He's a grown man now. I've contacted the police of San Diego and they mentioned that they can't do nothing because he's been found and not considered missing anymore and that they don't know where he's located, and maybe he doesn't want to reach out to family.

@gardensofthegods he's not mentally ill. Nothing at all.

Maybe you could be the one because there's nothing he has against you and if you just Express the wanting to know and love him he will reach out

@MandieKearns-Moore sorry I forgot to mention when he ran away it was 94. I was born in 95 I've never met him before but would be nice to meet him for the first time.
