Kudos to Michael Grant for how he handled this. Guys, the kidnapper in this case was the girl's father. What he did was very wrong--he ignored the law & took matters into his own hands, but this is really a custody dispute over his daughter. There's a lot of emotion involved in these situations & parents sometimes make huge mistakes like this guy did. This is bad but it's a lot different from some creep grabbing a kid.

and people say that us hunters are bad people, here's another reason why they can kiss my...

Obviously, he had his persuader by his side.

Hey,PETA,how evil are we now?So glad to hear amber is safe,glad he did the right thing.Go hunters!!

Good job to Mr. Grant! And my sympathies are going to be extended to the father of the little girl as well. When a father has to get involved with the legal system to get to see his kid, nobody ends up winning other than the lawyers and the mothers checking account. After going through the custody process myself, I'm convinced that in Minnesota at least, the mother would have to be caught shooting heroin while driving drunk on the way home from robbing the bank with her child not in car seat for a father to have a snowballs chance in hell of getting more than every other weekend visitation rights. Once a guy gets the notification that he is going to be in custody dispute, all it takes is about 2 hours of online browsing to become thoroughly convinced that sneaking the kid into canada or mexico is the only chance he will get to be a dad, and not a glorified babysitter that gets to pay for mommy's new dating habits. Not that I'm bitter or anything -- I got fairly lucky and have, as an ex, a woman that is actually more concerned about her son that herself.

Glad it came to a peaceful conclusion.

I agree w/ SD Whitetail hntr, if I strolled upon a kidnapper while hunting, I don't think he'd have the option of 'turning himself in'. Great job by Mr. Grant though.

Wonderful story. I too hope this gets some mainstream coverage. Mr. Grant is indeed a hero.

I have been reading these posts, and with some of them I agree with and some of them, well I just do not understand-- as with anything, there is 2 sides and all we hear is the side of what the media wants us to hear and what they want to add to it for making a better story of their own. First of all, I am very happy that the young lady was found unhurt! Yes, us hunters, can claim another notch in our belt for a job well done! But none of us know, as Paul Harvey would say, "the rest of the story". Child custody battles can really take a toll on anybody- fathers and mothers alike! Yes, it was wrong to take matters into Ur own hands, but sometimes, U feel U have no other choice in the matter because no one wants to hear the real story about what has gone on in a relationship that has gone bad! I speak from experience, but am happy to say that the situation that my wife and I was in took a turn for the good and we decided to get the help we needed to put our family back together and raise our daughter together! I will not say that I did not have some of the same thoughts that could have drove this man into doing what he did-- not saying what he did was right-- but can say I can see how it could happen, and does not mean he is a bad person!

Well the orange army saves another one... glad to hear no1 got hurt hopefully the family situation can be solved peacefully and without putting the child in harms way again...

Thanks to you this child is still alive! You should be proud of yourself and your actions!
