After sending out this email about the child from Randolph, NJ being abducted, I felt the need to share this with everyone. This parents worst nightmare happened a little too close to home. Thank God the child has been recovered and is home safe with his mom. Thank you all for responding back to me "Thank God", because this is definitely to true work of God answering prayers. God Bless this Mom and her son.
UPDATE FEBRUARY 15TH: Detective John Fichter of the Randolph Police Department has advised that the father and son have been located. Mr. Ronald Kolenda is in police custody and Ronnie Kolenda is in protective custody.

To all,......I got a phone call this evening around 8pm from the prosecutor of Morris County....she asked me to sit down..and told me that they broke through the door of a Pennsylvania house and rescued my son RONNIE>>>>>>>>>>>
I had a complete breakdown...she said that the officers state that Ronnie is OK and that they will call me late tonight to meet them at the hospital here in Jersey.....I want to thank everyone who prayed for my Ronnie....and all the Randolph township police and detectives and thank the prosecutor of Morris County for putting an end to the torture my family and I have endured for the past 17 days....you can't imagine the complete helplessness a parent feels and the devastation a situation like this causes.Life as we know it stopped for me and my family on January 29, 2006....I could not function, work, think, sleep.....barely speak and not comprehend much of what was going on around me.....nothing mattered...nothing...but my son.....
To had to sit down with forms from the John Walsh center for missing and exploited children to fill out statistical information, physical history and characteristics of my son and his abductor. And have to send most current photo and any identifying birthmarks or scars..etc,,,,is a nightmare I hope no parent ever has to endure..for me..filling out this paperwork and sealing the envelope and sending it overnight through the post office...meant the reality that my son was gone forever.....no one will ever know how this feels...I pray to God that not one more parent ever has to......
strong>I am blessed to have a happy beginning...I say beginning because ...My life will never be the same again.....I thank God all my friends who helped me and prayed for my son Ronnie...I believe that prayer works miracles...I believe the Randolph Police and Detective Fichter and Sokus and SGT Guiliani were key to helping in the recovery of my son....I extend my sincerest and deepest gratitude to these men and the Entire police force of Randolph.....I thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart...you can never imagine the joy you have given back to me..that joy is my son Ronnie...Also My sincerest thanks to the prosecutor of Morris County Ms. Catherine Broderick...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU...and of course many thanks to DYFS of Morris County...after all the bashing...I am one who says THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART....Love Coleen
