3 Wise Co. children missing

Just had someone mention to me about the Wise County channel running info on 3 Wise County children missing. the info seems a little vague. Anyone heard anything on this?

Not a clue, wonder who they are.

I read that earlier today on the wise co. channel. The name of the children were Spears. According to the information given, one of the children needs medical attention due to an injury. The Father and the childrens Grandmother recieved donations to take the little girl to recieve medical attention. They never went there, instead they went somewhere in North Carolina and now the police are saying the children may be with their mother. It sounds like a very confusing story IMO. There is not more details to explain why they may be in danger. I took it, if they were with their mother. I think also the Father may have been arrested.

Wonder who has custody of them, if they're not supposed to be with their mom...

Just read in the online edition of the Bristol paper they found the kids in Sevier County Tennessee. All of them were ok.

I am very happy that the children are safe and ok.

What was the story?

oh ok I see it now
Didnt see it earlier when I first heard about it

I don't know who had custody of the children, but I wonder why the Father was arrested.

He was arrested for child neglect charges with other charges pending.

Missing children located in Sevier County, Tennessee

Three missing Wise County, Virginia children have been located. Wise County Sheriff's officials say that 3-year old Aaliyah Jasmine Spears, 5-year old Chaaz Daniel Spears and 1 and a half year old Ciarrh Spears, along with their mother, Kristina Spears were found on Saturday in Sevier County, Tennessee. Authorities feared for Aaliyah's health because they say she had just had her left index finger re-attached. Police say the children's father and grandmother recently collected community donations for aaliyah's follow up medical treatment in Kentucky. Instead he wound up in Knox County, where he was pulled over for a traffic stop and arrested on felony child neglect charges. The father told police he gave the children to their mother at a gas station in Asheville, North Carolina. The Sheriff's Department says the children are doing well and are now in the custody of social services.

Well at least they weren't harmed or anything.

Yeah, that is really great news that they weren't harmed.

I just hope where they are so young that this wont do any permanent mental damage or anything. I had a friend in florida who's dad did the same thing took her and her brother from their grandmother and drove them to alabama to give to their mother and then social services came and took them away and her dad and mom both ended up in jail and the grandmother died while the kids were in foster care. She said she still has nightmares about it.

Anyone remember the guy who kidnapped his kids from FL and were headed to KY with them? They got so close to their destination, only to die in that horrible horrible accident...
Very sad.
Think I was in HS when this happened.

Was that the wreck going up the mountain to the elementry school in Pound?

That is so sad

If I recall correctly, they were northbound on 23 and hadn't quite gotten to the Pound exit yet. This was probably 15 years ago (rough estimate).

It appeared the dad had fallen asleep at the wheel, because there were no tire marks. He ran up under a coal truck. Killed all except one child who was asleep on the floorboard.

Geez, the names they stick kids with these days.

Wow that kid was lucky. And who would have though laying in the floorboard, no safety restraints except being stuck between the seats could save someones life.
