CNN Segment Leads To Missing Children Being Found

A pair of missing Georgia boys were found after their mother appeared on CNN and pleaded for their safe return.

The mom, Theresa Nash, was interviewed by Don Lemon last night, and asked her children to try to find a phone and call her. As it happens, the boys had been taken to Austin, Texas by their father. A hotel employee recognized the boys, and called 911. The police responded, and the kids were able to call their mom.

Nash, the police and her attorney credited CNN, and the media generally, with getting the boys home safe.
