What's best for the kidnapped kid who was found in Ohio yesterday?

The news had headlines yesterday about a kid from Alabama who was taken to Ohio in 2002 (at age 5). Apparently they tracked down the father – this was a custody fight – to Ohio and the story unfolded yesterday.

The kid is 18, so I guess he’s legally able to make his own decisions. But legal or not, he has a relationship with his dad, and no relationship with his mom.

What’s best for the kid?
