They say there is nothing quite like a mother’s love, and this was obvious when a young boy was finally reunited with his mother after being kidnapped.
A heartwarming video of the moment captures the emotional reunion of 3-year-old Noah Clare with his mother after nearly two weeks of being missing.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department in California shared the video, showing Noah running and leaping into his mother’s arms.
Amanda Ennis, Noah’s mother, took to Facebook to express her overwhelming emotions, saying: “Words cannot describe the feeling of him jumping into my arms and not wanting to let go. I swear we sat and cried on the floor holding each other for 10 minutes. Noah, mommy loves you more than you will ever know. It’s you and me, baby, forever and ever!”
This joyous moment marked the end of a cross-country search for the three-year-old, who lives in Gallatin, Tennessee. Noah had been the subject of an AMBER Alert after his father, Jacob Clare, failed to return him following a scheduled visitation in early November. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation issued the alert, suspecting that Noah might be with his 16-year-old cousin, Amber, as well as his father.
After reported sightings in Arizona and California, Noah and Amber Clare were discovered safe outside San Clemente, California. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office credited a woman named Julia Bonin, a resident, for giving the police the crucial information leading to Noah’s location. Bonin had spotted a boy resembling Noah at Doheny State Beach and promptly called authorities.
“We are so grateful for residents like Julia! Thank you for calling in and helping us reunite Noah with his family,” expressed the sheriff’s office. Julia’s instincts and quick action played a pivotal role in bringing Noah back to his mother.
Jacob Clare has been apprehended and is facing charges of aggravated kidnapping in connection with the incident.
Since the, the touching reunion video has gone viral online, with people across the globe expressing their relief that young Noah was found and returned safely to his mother.
