    FL: Police: Baby Taken After Parents Failed To Pay Human Smu

    Police: Baby Taken After Parents Failed To Pay Human Smugglers

    POSTED: 8:28 pm EST December 9, 2006

    FORT MYERS, Fla. -- A missing month-old boy kidnapped at knifepoint was taken as payment because his parents failed to pay human smugglers, police said Saturday.

    Bryan Dos Santos Gomes' parents were brought into the United States illegally from Brazil, but failed to pay the smugglers' entire fee, Fort Myers Police Chief Hilton Daniels said.

    Investigators believe the alleged kidnapper belongs to the smuggling ring, though they initially thought the boy was likely taken by a woman looking to steal a baby to claim as her own, police said.

    Bryan has been missing since Dec. 1 when he and his mother, Maria Fatima Ramos Dos Santos, as well as another woman and a baby, were approached by a woman driving a black sport utility vehicle. The women, who did not know the driver, agreed to give directions and entered the SUV with their children, police said.

    The driver later forced one mother and child out of the car, and made off with Ramos and the baby, police said. Ramos was released south of Fort Myers shortly afterward, but the woman in the SUV kept the baby.

    "We are still looking for this woman, but it is not a woman who desperately needed a baby," police spokeswoman Shelly Flynn said in a story posted on the News-Press Web site. "Now we are looking for a group of people."

    Police initially reported the baby's name as Brayn. A spokesman for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement did not have any additional information about the case Saturday.

    Local churches have posted a $21,000 reward for Bryan's return.

    I wonder if the parents think it was worth coming illegally to the United States now? Loss of a child is a huge price to pay.
