Two Child Abductions Resolved in South Carolina and Utah

In South Carolina, 40-year-old Atia Monay Thomas has been arrested and charged with kidnapping a nonverbal, autistic 3-year-old boy named Kayden Thompson. The child was abducted from his home while his father was asleep but was later rescued after the father recognized Thomas carrying his son. Meanwhile, in Utah, Kimberly Dell Davidson-Drolet, 53, has been arrested for kidnapping her non-custodial 4-year-old daughter and taking her to a 'cult-like' religious compound in Missouri. Davidson-Drolet, along with three accomplices, allegedly planned the abduction for 14 months and used burner phones and the postal service to evade capture. The child remained in Missouri for over a year before Davidson-Drolet's recent arrest. Both incidents have highlighted the importance of swift community and law enforcement response in resolving child abduction cases.
