More Kidnapping Parents

This duo isn’t quite as bad as the couple in Maine who abducted their own 19-year-old pregnant daughter and tried to force her to get an abortion because her baby’s father is black, but they’re still nuttier than a sack of Planters:
The Redds told their daughter they were taking her on a shopping trip Aug. 4 and then drove from Provo to Grand Junction, Colo., according to Provo police Capt. Rick Healey. Myers, 23, called police when his bride didn't attend a pre-wedding dinner with his parents that night.

The Redds spent the night in Colorado and drove back to Provo, about 40 miles south of Salt Lake City, the next day, Healey said. They arrived after the young couple was supposed to have been married in a ceremony that day at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Temple in Salt Lake City.

"I was totally confused and manipulated," Julianna Myers told KTVX-TV in Salt Lake City. She said she supports the charges and hopes her parents get help.
Yeesh. As far as I know, we haven’t passed any federal laws decreeing adult women their parents’ property.

Yet.
