Missing girl found after 7 years - Amber...

A missing girl was found after 7 years. At 13 months old, Amber Nicklas was taken. The alleged kidnappers were her three aunts. She was taken from her foster parents almost 7 years ago. It is amazing that she has been found after such a long time.

The little girl was found in Phoenix and she was safe. She has been taken back to California. When authorities went to the house in Phoenix, the woman who answered the door tried to hide the 7 year old. They found her in the bathroom shower under some clothes.

When her aunts allegedly took her, they were underage as well. They took her during a visitation time. Thankfully Amber Nicklas, whose name was changed, is fine and has been well cared for. She was not with any of her aunts at the time she was found. Two of her aunts have been arrested and the third one has not been found yet.

What an odd story. Thankfully Amber Nicklas has been found alive and well. It sounds like it will be a mess to work out. I am assuming she will have quite an adjustment right now. I have a five year old, and I can't imagine how he would handle such a change.Â I donâ€™t know if she is back with her foster parents or who she is with at this time.

This story just breaks my heart. This poor girl has been taken from people she knows quite a few times. First from her real mom and or dad then from her foster parents . She saw her aunts leave her with that new family and now she was taken away from the only family she knew for seven years or so. Now I can imagine she is in a strange foster care home mabe shes seen several. This poor child will have a hard time processing her life. Why didn't the state child care system check her where abouts and make sure she was safe ; by investegating if the home she was currently in was safe and if she was well adjusted? So this child has no real family anyway so why not leave her with the strangers she's known all along for seven years? It's sad because I know as a mom if my kids where taken away god forbid ; me and my family would break law to get them back and we'd end up locked up. Just because the state takes kids away doesnt mean its always a valid reason. Instead of offering help to parents they snatch the kids . So to punish parents they punish the kids instead. What a twisted world! Ive seen crack heads get their kids before a working mom did for shame!
