Marvin Maple, did he kidnap his grandchildren, Christie and Bobby Baskin?

Yes. Maple kidnapped his grandchildren 20 years ago and raised them in California under the names Jennifer and Jonathan Bunting. This recently came to light after Maple was finally apprehended for the crime.

Apparently, Maple and his wife Sandra originally charge the childrens parents with sexually and physically abusing the children and were given temporary custody. After the courts could find no evidence of the abuse, Maple and Sandra were ordered to give the children back, which is when they fled.

The only thing Marvin Maple was found guilty was of, "Custodial interference" The courts did not find him guilty nor tried him for kidnapping. Short answer is "No, Marvin Maple was not guilty of kidnapping. " rutherfordcountytn.gov/so/coldcase_close... The other article refered by previous answer is of the medias spin to make a story more sensational, not the actual court findings.

Innocent till proven guilty.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
