And even the kid's dad says that these videos remind him a lot of Lori Vallow.
And he, of course, as I'm sure all of us are, are very hopeful that this does not end up in a situation like that.
So Alicia now has warrants out for her arrest for four counts of custodial interference, each a third degree felony.
This along with additional charges for taking the kids out of the state with authorization.
An endangered missing advisory has also been issued for all four children and their passports have all been flagged in the system.
But unfortunately, none of them have been found.
Law enforcement has said that they don't believe that she intends to physically harm the kids.
However, they of course are deeply concerned about their well-being, because that includes possible isolation, their access to medical care, the influence of their mother's mental state.
And look, what happens is when you start feeling like you're backed into a corner and the walls are closing in, maybe there was no threat to begin with.

It's decision-making.
It's isolation.
