Additional Info
My Son Albert is now 39 years old! And, although I have not seen him in 37 years because his Father Kidnapped him and his Brother in 1977, at least I did finally find him with Social Media!! All his life he believed I was Dead and Unfortunately, never even Knew He Had a Brother!! He deserves to Find His Brother and Know Him!!
In 1977 their Father took off in late July with both of my sons, one had just turned 2, the other was still crying for the breast @ 8 months old! We had just split up, and he figured he would beat me to the punch! When he disappeared, I went to the Police, they Virtually Laughed At Me! They Would NOT even take a Report because they were NOT missing since I knew The Father Had Them!! Possession is 9/10 of the law is all they would say. If I found him, I could take him to court and get a custody order, but, until then they did not have any say if he took off with his own kids!
I never found them or saw them again!!
The Father tells Albert that shortly after leaving California, he gave 'Clayton' away to some people next to a field somewhere in the Mid-West because they were threatening to turn him into Child Services for not taking care of them if he didn't! So, he did and then left town right away! he can't remember if it was in Oklahoma or Texas...he can't remember now...
