In an emotional statement, Jamaican-Canadian, Lyneth Mann-Lewis, mother of Jermaine Mann said, “Our constant worrying is finally over.”
Lyneth’s son was abducted in 1987 and finally reunited with her 31 years later. She thanked Canadian and U.S. authorities and the Missing Children Society of Canada for helping find Jermaine.
Mann-Lewis, from Brampton, Ont., spoke publicly Monday for the first time since being reunited with her son, Jermaine Mann, this week.
Although Jermaine, now 33, didn’t appear at the news conference, Mann-Lewis said when they met, he immediately said: “Oh mommy, you have my eyes.”
Police allege Jermaine Mann’s father, Alan Mann Jr., abducted the boy in Toronto and slipped into the United States where he created false identities for them both.
Mann-Lewis says it was wonderful to see, touch and cook for her son, adding she hopes to see him very often from now on.
