Some experts, such as Lt. Col. Dave Grossman (www.killology.com) have predicted that the next wave of terrorism will target our children.
Let us hope and pray that this alert is unrelated to that forecast.
3 Months old, 20 lbs?
Seems a bit unusual. The 25 inches is realistic, but the weight seems quite a bit above the weight of the typical 3 Mo. old child.
Prayers going up for the safety of this child, whatever it's size.

Zaya Young , 3 months old. She is 25-30 inches tall, 25 pounds and is wearing a pink and white striped hat, a pink jacket, and white socks.

That baby does not look 20lbs.
I think it is a typo.
May not be a recent pic.
We cry out to You on behalf of this helpless child. In the Name of Jesus, we bind the hands of those who have taken her from her mother and we loose Your ministering spirits to guard this little one's life. Reveal her whereabouts to those who are searching, Lord, and grant her safe and quick return. We pray all this in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
The baby is only 3 months old. Babies that age don't gain 10 pounds in one or two months.
she was approached by a black woman in Muslim garb.
The woman allegedly approached the mother with a knife and told her
to get away from the baby. The mother went to get help, and when
she returned she found the stroller was empty, police said.<<<
Strange kidnapping.
This information is not adding up. They will be tracing the mothers steps. I hope I am wrong.
I have the same feeling as you. Too many strange details. The black muslim women in my town wear light-colored or white garb. They do not carry knives.
But then...this happened in Philly.
Praying that this turns out ok. Indeed, it is very strange.
Remember the Al Battar emagazine called for kidnappings.
Sorry but I don't believe for one second that the perp is working on behalf of middle-eastern groups. I used to do a lot of biking in the city (daily, even), and black women in muslim garb aren't all that rare. Chances are she's just as local as the mother, and her muslim-ness is more politically motivated than anything else (evil white men having forced Christianity on them, you know). You just have to know Philly and the people there. There's so much angst that you could bottle it and sell it.
That is one detail that is strange. Another is the fact that she left the scene to get help. Maybe the baby was threatened if she remained but most mothers I know would have remained where the infant could be seen.
told her to get away from the baby. The mother went to get help, and when she returned she found the stroller was empty,
This doesn't sound right. I don't personally know of any mother who would not attach her hands to the stroller and risk her life before she would 'move away from' her baby, let alone leave the child and 'go for help'. Every mother I know would be a bleeding mass of wounds before she would leave her child. Something is fishy here in my opinion.
