UPDATED at 10:58 a.m.: Nicholasville police have located two boys who had been reported missing.
Police said the boys — 3-year-old Kaleb Boles and 4-month-old Brayden — were located but no information on their conditions was available.
The boys were supposed to be dropped off with their mother Tuesday afternoon, but Jonathan R. Hensley, of Nicholasville, never arrived with the boys.
Hensley, 31, is the 4-month-old’s father and the boyfriend of the children’s mother. Police said earlier Wednesday that Hensley hadn’t contacted the mother or anyone else.
During the search for the boys, police say that no crime had been committed, but the children’s mother wanted to know her children were safe.
Hensley was believed to be in the Lexington area.
There is another problem with these kinds of laws and services, they don’t always find those that may be doing something very harmful such as grabbing a child to harm it in some way, or kidnapping it and that to me is a mile long conversation.
They now get involved in domestic disputes moms who are using kids as pawns to get their husbands to behave as they wish to control them, in misunderstandings between family members, and also with innocent people that mean no harm and are only really trying to help a friend, but may become criminals because they were a minute or two or a few hours late.
This is another thing that destroys trust in our society, hence no one having friends, no one really having that many people that they can depend on.
This means that people are not going to be willing to help each other with kids and things of this nature, because if this can be done to those acting in innocent ways and no one is really intending to harm the child or harming a child in any way then if they have the wrong person’s children there is a possibility that they can get accused and maybe even go to jail or prison for it.
The overall thing about all of these alarms and data bases is that now anyone can be found or anyone can be notified that a person isn’t where they are suppose to be, if the person wants to be found or not even if they are innocently acting out of their own right under the constitution to privacy and freedom and not to be found.
I can’t fault a system of this nature when and if they can find a child or person that is actually needing to be found for the right reasons to be rescued, but for the most part it is my understanding that those that are in the mind of doing this to harm a persn actually harm the child or whoever before they can be found in most instances.
I don’t think anyone would fault a thing that could save a child or adults life, but the ramifications for these kinds of notification systems and laws to be misused is just humongous and with the bail out and MI PARITY tie in that went along with that, I see this country going more and more communistic every day. REALLY
Seriously?!? Do you have children? Do you know what it’s like to stay up ALL NIGHT wondering where your children are and if they are safe… picturing them scared and cold, wanting their mommy? THEY ARE 3 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS OLD!!!! And he was NOT the father of one of them. It was almost 24 hours - not a couple of hours - and could have been longer if they hadn’t been found. These kids spent the night in a cold car in a neighborhood full of drugs/criminals. There was no over reaction here. Do you know that the only reason the children were found was because someone saw it on the news? I thank God that it was on every station and so many people were involved and helping. BLAH BLAH BLAH… we all know this world is screwed up and blogging is the cool thing to do.. but being personally involved in this situation and then reading some stupid comment from someone who has never experienced this, I’m really offended. Tell me that if your babies went missing you wouldn’t find any means possible to bring them home.
“Do you know what it’s like to stay up ALL NIGHT wondering where your children are and if they are safe…”
Nope, I don’t I have never ever put my children in this kind of a situation I have always known where my children were at especially at this age, now as children get older that may not be true for a lot of parents because children can get away from their parents and be any where even places that the parents don’t know where they are or want them to be either, but parents have to try to trust their own children don’t they?

Sooo, you are the mother? You know the mother? I would love to know where you got your facts at? From the story, “police say that no crime had been committed, but the children’s mother wanted to know her children were safe”
I can imagine that she did want to know that her kids were safe, I can also imagine that it might have been very irresponsible of her to hand her kids over to just anyone that she didn’t know well or to someone that would have done something like you are describing to them and if the mother knew the person well then she would have known that the person might have been capable of something like this, so would you do that? I think that you are exagerating here and really have no idea what you are talking about.
