Imaging browsing through the pictures on a Canadian Missing Children website only to see a familiar face -- your own -- in a baby photo. This is what happened last year to a 17-year old Californian resident, who recognised his own face in a photo that had been taken 14 years earlier. The teen sought advice from his teacher, who helped him contact the police. They confirmed the authenticity of the website with the Canadian authorities. Giselle-Marie Goudreault, the boy's mother, had abducted him in 1989 after his father, a resident of Alberta, had won full custody rights. Goudreault, 45, has since been arrested at her home in the San Fernando Valley, and is being held without bail until Canadian authorities can extradite her on child abduction charges, according to various US and Canadian media reports (see Google News). Bizarre -- and tragic.
