Facebook photo helps reunites mother with son who was kidnapped 15 years ago


A California mother and her teenage son have been reunited after 15 years apart, all thanks to a an old family photograph posted to Facebook.
Before this week, Hope Holland hadn't seen her son Jonathan since he was 3 years old, when his father kidnapped him and fled to Mexico.
But Hope kept the faith and never stopped searching for Jonathan, who just happened to be looking for her, too.
While Hope spent years working with child services and private investigators to try and track down 18-year-old Jonathan, it was a Facebook search that ultimately led to their reunion.

Last year, back in Mexico, Jonathan posted an old photo of him and his mother to the site in hopes that she or his older brother might find it.
And find it they did, this past January. 'I'm happy he wanted to know me,'
