This is a definitely unusual story and I am glad this mom was able to safely find her son:

Tiffany Rubin had all but given up hope of ever seeing her abducted child again when she received an anonymous tip through her MySpace page. Someone had spotted her 7-year-old son and her ex-boyfriend in South Korea.

The Queens special education teacher caught a 15-hour flight to South Korea on Sunday. She sneaked into her son’s school, found Kobe Lee in a classroom, disguised him with a wig and sought refuge in the U.S. Embassy before bringing him home Wednesday.

“It’s great,” Rubin said. “I never thought this day would come.” [Clare Trapasso - AP]

The child’s dad was born in South Korea and had joint custody of the child. However, last August he kidnapped the child when he faced losing joint custody because of his failure to pay child support for six months. The FBI issued a warrant for his arrest, but as it turns out Rubin’s MySpace page ended up being the deciding factor in finding her son.

The link to the story has a Fox News Report that provides further details about the recovery of the son.  The dad still remains in South Korea and the FBI is working with Korean authorities to extradite him back to the United States.
