CHILD MISSING FOR 8 YEARS RETURNED BACK TO MOM!
A boy who disappeared as a baby had been found eight years later and is set to be returned to his family.
Eight-month-old Miguel Morin was being cared for by his godmother, Krystle Tanner, at the time of his disappearance in 2004.
This week Tanner, 26, has been arrested on suspicion of kidnapping the boy, now aged eight, and Miguel has been taken in to the care of Texas Child Protection Services.
His discovery came as a surprise, since the case was officially abandoned in 2006.
His mother Auboni Champion-Morin has spoken of her joy at Miguel's re-appearance.
She told KPRC: 'Right now, I'm just really anxious to see him, but I know there is a lot of legal stuff I have to do.
Ms Champion-Morin, who has five other children, had fallen on hard times in November 2004 when she asked her close friend Tanner to look after Miguel overnight at her apartment in Houston.
When she went to pick him up in the morning, they had both gone, and Tanner's mother claimed they had fled Texas.
Police investigated the case but were unable to track Tanner down, and two years later the case was closed.
However, Ms Champion-Morin says she was never told that authorities were no longer investigating, and found it difficult to get information on the status of the case.
'It was very difficult because we were essentially searching for a ghost,' he said.
A fresh breakthrough finally came last August, when officials received a complaint about Tanner, according to CNN.
It was reported that she had hit an eight-year-old boy in her care - but child welfare officials were unable to meet with the boy.
She also apparently gave contradictory answers to officials' questions, and changed her story about whether or not the child was her own son.
This prompted the authorities to turn the case over to police, who opened a criminal investigation.
Tanner was arrested in San Augustine, 165 miles from Houston, earlier this week but was reportedly unco-operative and refused to reveal Miguel's whereabouts.
However, yesterday her sister called police and said that the boy was with her, later turning him over to authorities.
Miguel is said to be in good health, and will be re-united with his family after his mother takes a DNA test proving that he is her son.
He is believed never to have attended school, and to have been called names like 'Dirty' by Tanner.
Ms Champion-Morin told KTRK that her friendship with the alleged kidnapper had made the ordeal even tougher.
'I knew this family,' she said. 'It wasn't like, "Hey stranger." No, I knew this family. I spent time with them. We had Thanksgivings and Christmases.'
Although the family will seek counselling to ease Miguel's re-entry into the life from which he was separated as a baby, Ms Champion-Morin is optimistic that he will settle in.
'We love him very much and we never gave up. That's one thing I would never give up.'


Phaedra Parks' was a STUNTING Criminal? Well her former friend says So!
I posted this the other day. But there are two new videos added.
Attorney Phaedra Parks has been very open about the criminal background of husband Apollo Nida.....but what about her own?
Well a woman named Angela Stanton claims Miss Phaedra was so deep into insurance check fraud, auto theft and racketeering HERSELF that she even promised to represent everyone in the crime gang if they were arrested.
Here are some highlights from Angela's interview that hit the net:
“After about a year or so, I guess she became a little more comfortable with our relationship and that’s when she introduced me to Apollo. Once she introduced me to Apollo … once she introduced me to Apollo, it was strictly a business relationship that the two of them had. And at that time, they were making fraudulent insurance checks.”
"I ended up catching a charge and going away to prison. On my first trip to prison, I only did four months, but while I was away at prison, Apollo had also got arrested. So when he got arrested … I finally got out after doing my four months, Phaedra and I got back together again … and we were all involved in a federal racketeering scheme against the federal government.”
“Stealing Porches, Hummers, Cadillacs, Corvettes, any hot whip at that time, we had it! We would basically go to the car lot and write down the VIN numbers of the vehicles that we felt as if we wanted to keep or would make a good sale … “

Do you believe this ish? Everybody knows you should keep your so-called friends close...

Miss Vivica A. Fox hopped a flight to Mississippi to allow The Dream Team from DENIM to capture everyside of Vivica known and unknown! She then dished advice to her "younger" self for her cover story:

DENIM: If you could back in time, what advice would you give to the 19 year old Vivica breaking into the business?
VIVICA: Study your craft. If you want to be an actress-know that it is a craft and you have to know what you are doing. There's going to be a lot of rejection. You have to have a strong belief in yourself and become a triple threat. Learn to sing, dance, and act-you never know what roles will be required of you.

DENIM: What drives you as an actress and woman?
VIVICA: Taking advantage of all the opportunities and blessings. I find that the key to longetivity is versatility - especially for my career. I have my own hair line, I produce film, television, and host events. I try to be versatile and do a lot of things; that way it keeps me busy.

Chick's break up has done her well. Viv's looking great these days.

Avatar actress Zoe Saldana is upset, and rightly so after, after coming home from a weekend getaway to a burglarized home. Zoe noticed signs of entry when she returned to her LA house on Sunday, reports TMZ.
Saldana called police once she realized someone had been in her house while she was gone. She called law enforcement right away to make a report. Upon the initial look, it appeared to Zoe that nothing had been stolen, but she is going though her house with a fine toothed comb to make absolute sure nothing is missing. Seeing as though there weren’t any witnesses to the crime, it’s unclear if the attempted burglar was male or female. The investigation is still pending.

The first time we talked about the show was [at a Los Angeles press event in January], which was well after we had finished shooting, and it was like, ‘All right, people are excited.’ It was like doing a radio show or something, where you didn’t know if people were watching or paying attention, because they kind of weren’t. We were just making a show,” he explained.
