Yeah, if Saskatchewanians can stop abducting their kids that would be great, thanks. I've gotten 2 Amber Alerts in as many days.

 

[GuyfromCanada]

I wonder who reported them missing?

 

[Detective Willy]

If he goes by different names and different appearances this is a BIG red flag IMO.

There's an article from 2010 on CTV Regina reporting on a sex offender named Benjamin Moore that looks very similar and the ages line up: Sex offender arrested

''CBC News previously reported Moore served a two year and two month sentence for inappropriately touching a young child, possessing child *advertiser censored* and other offences.

In 2011 Moore was deemed a high-risk to reoffend and his release prompted a warning from police in Regina.

Shaunavon RCMP said the group may be travelling in a 2015 dark blue Chevy Equinox, with the Alberta licence plate CGC2492.

The mother of the children is 45-year-old Leah Potts. She is believed to be travelling with Moore and the children, according to the alert. The group might have entered the United States.

People who see the children, Potts or Moore or have information regarding their whereabouts are asked to call 911 or 1-or 1-877-SOAMBER (762-6237).''

Children at centre of Saskatchewan Amber Alert found safe

REGINA - Two children at the centre of a Saskatchewan Amber Alert were found at a campground in the United States along with their mother and a man wanted by police, Mounties said Wednesday.

www.thestar.com

''REGINA - Court records show a man believed to be at the centre of an Amber Alert for two missing children is a convicted child sex offender.

The documents say 50-year-old Benjamin Martin Moore, now of Eastend, Sask., was convicted in 2009 for sexual interference of a minor.

He was sentenced in Regina provincial court to two years and two months in prison.

Records say he served another three months in jail in 2011 after he was convicted of breaching a recognizance order.''

I wonder who reported them missing?

From the Police Report, it appears they went on the run because of police involvement and possible apprehension of the children requested from Social Services.

“While I cannot get into the specifics of the investigation – as it is ongoing and in its early stages – I can confirm that evidence was discovered, when the Shaunavon RCMP were asked to assist the Ministry of Social Services, with an investigation relating to allegations surrounding Benjamin Moore. Before police were able to question him, Benjamin, Leah and the children, had vacated their residence in Eastend. This led the Ministry to seek an apprehension order for the children; which in turn, led to us issuing the Amber Alert.

Benjamin Moore has a history of sexual offences against children, vulnerable persons and has previously been convicted of sexual interference and possession of child *advertiser censored*.

Today, Saskatchewan RCMP investigators charged him with failing to report information to a registration center within 7 days after a change of main or secondary residence, as required by the Sex Offender Information Registration Act, contrary to section 490.031 of the Criminal Code of Canada. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Benjamin Martin Moore…”

Seven-year old Luna Potts and eight-year old Hunter Potts are believed to be in South Dakota with 50-year old Benjamin Martin Moore. Moore is the common law partner of the children’s mother, 45-year old Leah Potts. It is believed that she is is likely travelling with Moore and her two children.

Possibly was hiding his common-law relationship, Leah surely couldn’t have been aware of his extensive prior pedophilic convictions. If so, I hope she notices the media alerts and has an opportunity to contact authorities.


”….RCMP said Moore failed to report a change of main or secondary residence to the registration centre, as required by the sex offender information registry act.

As a result, Moore has been charged and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.”

I wonder if they'll be found in Oregon, USA like the Saskatchewan Mom Dawn Dumont Walker and her child Vincent Jansen who fled just last week?

Maybe there is a certain route these people know, or a special person helping them all?

Shaunavon, SK (where this lady and her partner have disappeared from) is only 230 miles/380km south of Chief Whitecap Park, SK where Dawn Dumont fled from last week.

For some reason South Dakota is the current focus in the US.

“At this time, we are working to extend the Amber Alert into South Dakota as evidence suggests that's where the four currently are. They have ties to Saskatchewan and Western Canada, so we want people in these areas to remain alert and report any sightings or information they may have…”
