Missing N.C. Twin Toddlers Found

(AP)  A biological mother accused of kidnapping her 17-month-old twins from their adoptive parents in North Carolina has been arrested in Canada, and authorities say the children are safe.

Allison Lee Quets, 49, and the twins were found Friday night when police in Ottawa, Canada, acted on a tip, the FBI said in a statement early Saturday. The toddlers, Tyler Lee and Holly Ann Needham, were placed in the custody of Canadian Social Services.

Quets could face federal charges of international parental kidnapping.

A custody agreement allowed Quets to take the children for a brief visit Dec. 22-24, but authorities said she never returned them. The FBI said an investigation indicated Quets crossed the Canadian border with the twins Dec. 23.

The children lived in the Raleigh suburb of Apex with their adoptive parents, Denise and Kevin Needham. Quets had a home in nearby Durham.

Officials with the FBI Victim Witness program were arranging for the adoptive parents to travel to Canada to be with their children.

Agnim,
Did somebody drop you in a toilet at birth?

"For those mothers and fathers who are having children when they shouldn't to give to parents who can't have them and should!

That is the kind of sentiment that is so obscene!

Who the hell are you and barren womb people to say who should or who shouldn't have children, and then to give them up to those who are cursed to have none? Tsk-tsk.

" I would never wish as much pain on you as Michelle and her husband have been through - however, that said, I do hope that some day, you feel a little more compassion for someone who IS in their position than what you are showing now.

First in line for your 'compassion' should be the new mother who is badly in need of assistance; so that she may be able to carry out her NATURAL responsibilities to herself and her child.

Greater pain than that of your Michelle is the pain incurred in breaking the POWERFUL NATURAL BOND between a new mother and her child.

Women who would discard their children have to be undergoing serious mental-physical dislocation for that natural bond to be broken and treated so lightly.

So unless the new mother is mentally/physically incapacitated, all she might need is TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE! That is what we should be offering new mothers, instead of legal kidnapping of their children!

If those judges had any good sense, they would be compelling the government to use the nation's resources on these new mothers who are desperately in need of assistance, instead of causing the new mothers to 'sell' their children to barren 'vultures' who have no business with children in the first place, especially since they are cursed to have none!

To Agnim;
I wish that I could introduce you to my friend, MIchelle, who has been in childcare since high school and loves children and would love to have one of her own, but has been unable to do so, even with 3 years of fertility treatments. I wish you could see and feel the pain she goes thru month after month, when she finds out that, once again, the drugs and tubes and other invasive procedures did not work. She is NOT an "ENVIOUS DEAD WOMB INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD USE THE COURTS TO IMPOSE THEIR INFERTILITY PROBLEMS ON DELICATE NEW MOTHERS WHO MAY BE HAVING THEIR OWN ISSUES MOMENTARILY!"
I would never wish as much pain on you as Michelle and her husband have been through - however, that said, I do hope that some day, you feel a little more compassion for someone who IS in their position than what you are showing now.

To Amorgan9;
I went to the link you mentioned and read "Who kidnapped Who First?", and guess what? I DON'T BUY IT. The person who supposedly wrote this went on and on about how Ms. Quets needed help, and the writer offered to take the kids until she was able to care for them, and etc, etc, etc. If she truly needed help, why didn't she accept the help that was offered? There are medications and other treatments doctors can use to control hyperemesis and depression - no mention of any of that, though. What about the sister, who is speaking out about why Ms. Quets took the children away from their parents? Did she know what was happening and offer to help? If that "concerned person" saw all this going on, why didn't she step forward and speak up when it was happening?
The point is, those children are 17 MONTHS old, not 17 days, and the Needhams are the only ones they know as Mommy and Daddy. This didn't all JUST happen within the last month or two.
In the movie "Parenthood" Keanu Reeves has a very telling line; "You have to have a license to drive a car or own a gun, but they will let any ....licking fool be a parent." Sad, but very true.

"While this woman's situation may be different, I am looking at it from the situation of my sister, who is now legally adopted, and has many issues that she has to work through from her 1st 3 years of life.

So if you will acknowledge that your sister's situation is different, why would interject it to prejudice the case against this mother WHO ONLY NEED ASSISTANCE? Tsk-tsk.

As for your sister's case, no one offered ASSISTANCE TO THE MOTHER, which is what these people need more than anything else. Instead the effort was to buy her child. That was disgusting, even if the comical courts agree to this additional violation of this young human being!

That is why there is adoption. For those mothers and fathers who are having children when they shouldn't to give to parents who can't have them and should! I don't know this woman's story, but I do know that you are spouting off words on here on a subject that you know nothing about. Go to your local emergency department and ask to stay for just 1 day and see how many child abuse cases they have by those that are "pee'd out" and tell me again why placing kids in adoption is such a bad thing.

[me4prezz]

One other thing, Agnim, do you have children or are you married?

Giving birth makes one a MOTHER, but NOT a MOM! They are 2 different things! I love my children more than I can possibly say on here, but being in the medical field and a prior emergency medical technician and currently a nursing student, I see horrors you can't even imagine being done to children by people who "pee'd them out" as you like to phrase it (it is called labor and delivery by the way!) beating, burning, breaking bones, belittling, and doing whatever they can to hurt them, even killing them.

There are husbands and wives out there who would desperately love to give birth to their own child and can't. That is a medical reason and NOT mother nature. God's greatest gift was free will. Not everything is chance. We choose our paths and sometimes our bodies just don't work right. Cancer can cause it, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, etc. That doesn't make a bad person of an inability to get pregnant just as having the ability to get pregnant doesn't make a good MOM! Just because you could, does NOT mean you should!

Agnim:

I cannot believe the stuff you typed on here. My sister is adopted because the mother she had, the one who had the ability to "pee her out", did so in a toilet in hopes of drowning her! By the time she was 3, she had been sexually, physically and emotionally abused and her biological mother sold her essentially. She needed money and my parents, seeing how bad off the child was and having NO blood relation to her, went to the courthouse, got the paperwork they needed, and said they would pay her the money she needed if she would sign custody over. It took 6 years before her parental rights were severed and that was after the 2nd child she "pee'd out" was taken from her for the same thing!

You are right, sometimes the system is screwed up and good mothers are removed from their babies, but this is the exception rather than the rule and more often than not, children are given back to these individuals when they shouldn't be and then you read about their murder or some other horrific crime against them. Think before you write on here or speak of what you do not know!

While this woman's situation may be different, I am looking at it from the situation of my sister, who is now legally adopted, and has many issues that she has to work through from her 1st 3 years of life.

" Also, suggesting a couple who want their "own" child go "SCREW AND MAKE ONE" is so disgusting and heartless toward someone who has infertility problems that I can't even believe you typed it.

Believe it!

And we are not 'disgusted' at those who may have infertility problems, per se.

We are 'disgusted' at the act of ENVIOUS DEAD WOMB INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD USE THE COURTS TO IMPOSE THEIR INFERTILITY PROBLEMS ON DELICATE NEW MOTHERS WHO MAY BE HAVING THEIR OWN ISSUES MOMENTARILY!

And you dam right parents OWN their children!
Parents have the power of life and death over their children. Regardless of what courts may decide, parents decide whether the children are born or not!

Adoptive so-called 'parents' HAVE NO inalienable rights to other people's children!
Mother Nature made those individuals sick/barren for a reason!

New mothers need assistance from the society.

Assistance with the children is what should be offered a new mother who may feel temporarily overwhelmed by the many responsibilities in her delicate state.

New mothers don't need to have their children stolen by courts and individuals who are too sick to screw and pee out their own children!

A lot of these adoptive so-called 'parents' are more like thieving VULTURES. They should go get a pet if they can't pee out their own children!
But they should not be trusted with other people's children!
