  1. I feel lik the child was used as bait to grab the woman….according to a lot of experts it's a tactic traffickers r using I hope they find her soon 😢

  2. She blac media she won’t matter next week

  3. UPDATE: she’s been found alive and safe! 🙏❤️

    New York Times: The woman, Carlee Russell, showed up at her family’s front door on Saturday night, knocked and was greeted by her stunned relatives, said Nicholas Derzis, the police chief in Hoover, a suburb of Birmingham. He said he was not sure how Ms. Russell got there, but nobody was with her when she arrived. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

  4. Prayers for this beautiful woman ♥️

  5. I feel that she is not alive anymore 😢.

  6. She’s been kidnapped by traffickers how did she fall for that the baby walking on the intersection lonely lady getting out of her car little tactics

  7. Wow . This is horrible. We need more information. They used a child for bate. They had to have a vehicle close by .To put her into. And they did not take her purse or cell phone. So not a robbery. If it was for money they would wanted her credit cards and cash and her car.
    My Daughters .My Wife and I . all carry this device called the S P O T . A personal locater.
    And one of the buttons. Sends an S O S signal. And Tracks you. My Daughters laughed at me first . But not any more.

  8. Prayers for her and the family.. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

  9. She's been found and it's looking more and more like the whole thing was faked. "Best" case was a mental break. There was never any toddler.

  10. She said it was a toddler on the side of the road. So the baby's not in school? I would look for recently born babies if she said the ethical background That would help Then she said it was walking on the side of the road.
    By itself show the baby currently being one years old. Maybe 2 if it's still look like a baby. Go back 1 to 3 years, find out anybody who had babies put a tail on them And of course, the family and friends would have to assist with this.
    More man power it better

  11. She’s found alive🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

  12. This is awful. I feel that they used this angel's kindness and caring against her to lure her in and take her. Pure evil. I hope she is found safe and sound. She sounds like a wonderful young lady.

  13. -SHE FAKED iT..🤑..For GoFund!!

  14. Thankfully, she was found safe and sound.

  15. I saw a report that she has been found alive.

  16. This is terrifying. Something dangerous happened to that woman & the longer she’s lost, the worse the outcome. I’m wondering if someone used that baby to bait a passerby. I don’t usually jump on the news notices, but when this one popped up, I instantly hopped on board. I’m not religious, but I’ll take a minute for silence and my strongest wishes that this young woman be found quickly and safely. Her people must be living in horror right now. We sure do have loads of predators in this country! All kinds!

  17. Thank the good Lord, she turned up!🙏 Song🕊🎶
