Missing Children Cases
Robert Manwill: Authorities said Wednesday that a body pulled from a canal in Idaho is that of the 8-year-old boy. The cause of death was not immediately known but police said they are treating the case as a homicide. Robert was reported missing July 24 from his mother's apartment in Boise.

Kerns also said there is no evidence the boy was abducted by a stranger.
Earlier Wednesday, the Ada County coroner confirmed that a body found Monday in the canal was indeed Robert's. The boy had disappeared July 24 after leaving his mother's apartment in Boise, prompting a massive search effort.
His father, Charles Manwill, lives in New Plymouth and has had custody of the child since 2008.

This is horrible. The article says the police are treating it as a homicide case. How could anyone do that to this poor little innocent boy. I hope it wasnt his own mother. May the angels take his soul straight to Heaven with God.

Hey paymyownway, know what I am very bless by GOD. But let me hit you with this one, I do not play GOD, in fact you don't even know who is it, you are talking about the bible and that was written by man like the ones that talk about God in the church, then later on put the foot in a f--king hole like many others.

WANA MAKER::: I find it so disgusting & ridiculous that a catholic priest forgives his people. For one thing no human ever has the power to forgive sins only GOD THE UNIVERSAL SOVEREIGN & SUPREME BEING OF THE UNIVERSE has the power & the right to forgive. Only God can bless too. Scientists & priests think they are now god or equal to him but boy are they ever stupid in their thinking & thoughts. I laughed so hard when my friend told me that she goes to her priest once a month & tells him all sins that she has committed & he forgives her. WHAT A JOKE & A LAUGH & A HALF!!! He does not have the right nor the power to forgive only God does.
