Way over the normal limit for cut and paste but in this case it's important info. The little five year old boy was taken from a hospital in St Louis by his father. He is the next in line for a heart transplant. He has an IV bag containing medication for the next 48 hours.

Amber alert has been cancelled.

He's safe and in a hospital in Chicago. Dad, grandma, and an aunt had him in a motel. They are facing charges at this time.

I just don't understand why someone would take their child out of a hospital and run. He's next in line for a heart transplant and instead of worrying about him they'd rather fight over custody.
