    MySpace, Keeping Families Together

    by Aaron Fields | KSTW.com




    "MySpace, keeping families together"
    was sort of a joke I started when I randomly reconnected with one of my cousins through MySpace that I hadn't seen or talked to in a few years. Never did I think this saying would really be anything of significance until I found this story.

    Kobe Lee vanished from New York back in August with his father. Don't ask me how it happened but apparently an anonymous tipster on MySpace informed her that the child was living in South Korea, which is where the father was born. So the mom takes a flight to South Korea, goes to the school and tells the teacher who she is and said she needed a minute to speak to him. They then walked out of the building and caught a cab to the American embassy, all while Kobe was disguised in a wig to make people think he was a girl incase they started to search for him.
