My Abducted Son

[cotysmom]

I am writing for the life of my beautiful son Theodore Coty Cook. Coty was abducted by his non custodial father on 08/15/94. When the abduction occurred I went to the Newnan GA police department to file a missing person's report. The Detective said to me "since there is no custody order, who ever has physical custody is in the driver's seat. There is no abduction to report" and refused to take my missing person's report. Since that time the Newnan Georgia police department still refuses to take my missing person's report for Coty. They claim that the statute of limitations has expired and they can not now take the report although they have admitted to myself and my family that they did make a mistake by not taking the report when Coty‘s abduction first occurred and taking out the warrant. There is no statute of limitations for kidnapping. Coty’s biological father and I were never married and Coty was never legitimated by his biological father which by GA law code 19-7-22 makes me the only person having sole custody of Coty. I feel this police department is simply trying to find every excuse in the book to brush their mistake under the rug so to speak. I don’t even know if my son knows about this situation. For all I know he could have been told I am dead. What is occurring to my son is child abuse!. My son has been missing for 13 years. I have never given up searching for my son and doing everything within my power to find him. I love and miss Coty so very much. I have now been fortunate enough to partner with the Child Seek Network. They have answered my plea for help with kindness and hope. We currently have a petition for Coty to urge GA Governor Sonny Purdue to urge the Newnan GA police department to take my missing persons report. Please answer this Mothers plea for help. Your signature would be greatly appreciated. If you would also be kind enough to forward this petition to others so that they will be able to sign the petition it would be greatly appreciated as well. We need over 5,000 signatures before the petition can be presented to the Governor. I am a Mother pleading for your help for the life of my son. This petition may not save the world but, it could save my son’s life. This problem of abduction is so large. This petition may also aid in laws being changed to protect other children and to help law enforcement take child abduction more seriously rather than making parents jump through hoops to protect their children.
You can sign the petition no matter which state or country you live in.

I thank everyone in advance for their efforts to save Coty’s life and possibly many more children.

Coty’s Mom

A mother’s broken heart, her laughter turned to sorrow,
her joy has turned to woe, her tears are falling softly,
her head is hanging low. The sunshine leaves her cold,
the flowers have no smell, she sees no beauty, hears no
sound, she’s living in hell, her child is gone, she knows
not where.
Her heart is slowly dying. Is he okay? Is he in pain?
Oh! Is my baby crying? She can not sleep, she can not
rest, she has a void inside, she’d like to run and hide.
Till he comes home she has no joy, she waits and prays
and cries.
Oh please be kind and do your part, to mend this broken
heart.
