I'll bet he spent more on that ink than he ever spent on child support. The gun tattoo on his waistline ought to void any possibility of custody of that child.

Can the police department share the baby's age in addition to her weight? It might help to know if we should be looking for a baby who can sit up, crawl, or is almost still a newborn.

I saw this on the news this morning. It seems the baby is 16 weeks, or 3 - 4 months from what I remember and I should imagine that the picture shown of both is very recent.

I can't understand why an Amber Alert hasn't been issued. With as much information as they have it seems to me that an Amber Alert would be very useful particularly as I have seen Amber Alerts with a lot less information in the past.

There is (at least now) a photo of the man and the baby girl - probably taken a while ago if she is now 15 pounds. But the man and vehicle should be easy to spot. And no, he is not a player for the Golden State Warriors. I checked the roster.

More serously if you insist. Does the father have sole or joint custody? Is he a known criminal? Is the mother the criminal? Was she failing to take care of the baby? Why did he take her? Where do they normally live? Not at the Residence Inn. Of course, for the police to have issued a call for the public to look out for the father may suggest answers to some of these questions.

You updated the story but left the original comments. Great that the baby was recovered from the grandmother. Is the suspect wanted for kidnapping or just possible crimes while fleeing with the baby? I say "possible" because if he had lawful custody, the persons trying to retrieve the baby committed the crimes. So ask the police about the legal custody status of the baby for your next update.

ABC said they shared custody but he wasn't supposed to leave with the baby. He also "brake checked" the baby moms older son who tried to follow him causing an accident. Real winner on our hands here.

typical progressive ruled by emotions and not laws....

"The gun tattoo on his waistline ought to void any possibility of custody of that child."

He obviously was wrong in driving off and potentially injuring his baby-momma, but you know NOTHING of the back story to this. Why was she at a Residence Inn in Mountain View in the first place? He might have to come to rescue the baby. He obviously had no intention of hurting the baby since he dropped her off at grandmas. You jump to conclusions because of his tatoos and his looks. (race too maybe?) The suspect in this case may actually be the victim. Unless you know ALL the facts, you know NOTHING and should keep you piousness to yourself.

Well, some facts speak for themselves. You say that he had no intention of harming the baby. If that were the case, he would have purchased or borrowed an infant car seat. Instead, per all news reports and the Amber Alert, he drove off with the 4 month old on his lap and crashed his car before driving off again. That doesn't sound like responsible parenting to me as he could have surrendered the baby to authorities if she was in danger, but I'll just let the reported facts speak for themselves.

Oh please, you barely have enough facts to even guess at the back story for this article let alone criticize someone you don't know. The only thing worth commenting on is that a dad made a bad decision but in the end the child was unharmed. We as a community should be celebrating a happy ending or discussing what we can do to help this child's parents.

he damn near ran down the brother of his childs mother (jesus, if trying to describe this isn't convoluted enough) and you're DEFENDING him?

Another example of how off track this area is. For gods sake, you folks have lost your collective minds. Help him? What exactly do you suggest? Oh,probably that he should be provided a free place to live and a job making over minimum wage.

Christ, enough already.
