I hope Diane Dobbs and Shannon Wilfong spend some quality time in jail for this.

Grandmother of Hidden Boy Denies Wrongdoing in 2-Year Abduction

The grandmother of a 6-year-old boy who was found huddled in a hiding space along with his mother said she did nothing wrong in helping to hide her family and keep the little boy safe.

Diane Dobbs, 51, and her fiance were charged with aiding and abetting while Richard's mother, Shannon Wilfong, 30, was charged with felony child abduction and could face at least a year in prison.

Mother and son were found huddled in a crawl space Friday by police who were acting on a tip. They said it was clear that Ricky had rarely, if ever, ventured outside. Dobbs said she put the two in the hiding space behind a dresser when she saw police gathering outside.

After Michael Chekevdia won temporary child custody rights, Wilfong accused him of sexually abusing the boy. When child welfare workers found no evidence and awarded Michael Chekevdia custody, Wilfong disappeared with their son.

Investigators found the house riddled with secret hiding places, including a hole in the floor and another hole carved into the wall behind a dresser. "We let him out of the car, and he ran around like he'd never seen the outdoors," Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Stan Diggs said. "It was actually very sad."

The trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

... and I think in Illinois the bail is 10% of the stated amount so gramma bailed for  $100.00 and mom will bail for $4200 plus change. 
 
I didn't see in the article what caused dad to be awarded Temporary custody but it must have been significant to have false sexual abuse charges logged against him.
