Zachary and Chelsea have not (yet) contacted me yet. I am still hoping and praying they will find in their heart to reach out some day. I can only assume the information provided by their mother is tainting their willingness to contact me. I can understand - both are "victims". Someday, something will trigger their mindset and they will want to reach out to find out who I am. The hard part is taking that first step. I so very much look forward to that day! Peace.

This is so sad to see. Those kids need a father in their lives and I bet you the Mother brainwashed those kids in saying that this man is a bad person. You can tell this man is not a bad person just by him reaching out to see his own children. He did nothing wrong how terrible that a Mother would do this to her children and make up lies for her own good.

My father was a drug dealer and left us when I was 4 and I would do anything to see him again if he didn't die. Those kids making a mistake.

Any parent that keeps a child from the other parent is NOT doing the best for the child. If you are one of those people, you are a moron! Not the great parent think you are in your tiny little brain! If my mother or father was an axe murderer, I would still benefit from knowing him/her. He/she would be a great example of what not to be. Too bad that courts fail to recognize the parent who's showing that they wish for the kids to have both parents. That is ALWAYS best for ALL kids

To Zach and Chelsea: Please listen @ :48 he says "I have never stopped thinking about you" and "I think about you daily." I am a father that hasn't seen my son and daughter in almost six years in a similar situation. I think about them every single day. Please contact your father. I promise you, HE DOES THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. He is in tremendous pain each day that passes and there's no word from one or both of you! Please take that first step now!

Please explain about why FIVE police forces were checking you out. The wife may have lied but CPS etc. must ask the children. If she felt the children were still at risk right or wrong I understand why she ran. Not all courts will accept abuse thats very real without facts you cant get.

My son was brainwashed and I did not see him for 9 years.I never gave up hope and now he is back with me! Never give up because the children are often afraid because of intimidation..They will be reunited with you!!
