The Mother of kidnapped little 3-year-old, Briant Rodriguez Rosalina Millan embraces her son's shirt against her chest during a news conference at the San Bernardino County Sheriff s Department in San Bernardino. Young Rodriguez was forced at gun point from his modest San Bernardino home by two armed men during a home invasion Sunday. "They grabbed my kid, told me, 'I'm going to take the kid to Mexico and I'm going to kill him,' " said Briant's mother
Briant?s Mother spent over five hours relating to investigators and sketch artists Tuesday, drawing on painful memories to help compose pictures of the two men suspected of tying up her and her youngest five children Sunday afternoon before abducting the boy.
Briant?s Mother continues to make desperate pleas for her son's safe return.
"Please, I'm asking them to release my son. Give him back to me," she said as she cried. "Why did they take him? Let him go. Don't harm my boy. My boy, my life. He's a good boy."
The suspects are both said to be skinny, Spanish-speaking Latino men. One is said to be 18 years old, 5-foot-8 and wearing a black ball cap, blue jeans and a green T-shirt. The second suspect was about 24 years old, 5-foot-10 and was wearing a black shirt, black pants, black boots and a white bandana.

Millan, her husband and their six children have only lived in the home about three months. For some unknown reason no information is yet available on the people who previously lived in the family's home.
Both parents deny that the family was involved in any illegal activity and said they do not know why anyone would take their baby. Sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller said the kidnappers have not contacted the family for ransom and "we are concerned the child has been taken across the border."
Briant Rodriguez was kidnapped from his home in the 8000 block of Pedley Road on Sunday after the two gunmen spent about 20 minutes ransacking the home while his mother and five of her children were tied up, San Bernardino sheriff's officials say.
One of Briant's siblings was able to free himself and untied his family members.
Also taken from the home was Millan's cell phone, so she made the emergency call from a nearby liquor store.
"It's horrifying," sheriff's Lt. Rick Ells told the Associated Press. "I don't think I could impress on you how rare a kidnapping like this is."
Briant's father, who lives with the family, was at work at the time of the robbery and kidnapping, Ells said.
"The family is saying there's no motive and they do not know the kidnappers," Ells said, adding that the kidnapping does not appear to be a family abduction.
Briant's mother told sheriff's officials that she heard a vehicle door slammed just outside the family's home when the men left, leading her to believe that the gunmen fled by car.
San Bernardino sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller told the Associated Press that authorities along the Mexican border have been put on alert, and FBI investigators were also helping in the investigation. Detectives emphasize that Briant's parents are not suspects.
Less than 200 stranger abductions nationwide are reported annually, according to the FBI.
Last year another young boy, Cole Puffinburger, was abducted from a Las Vegas home by three men posing as police officers. Police said they believe the men were Mexican drug dealers and that the kidnapping at gunpoint was a "message" to the Childs grandfather.
Clemons Fred Tinnemeyer, 51, the grandfather of the kidnapped 6-year-old Nevada boy, was arrested by the FBI's fugitive task force in Riverside. According to police Tinnemeyer allegedly stole millions of dollars from a powerful Mexican drug cartel out of Tijuana, Baja Mexico and believe as a result a contract hit was ordered. Unconfirmed reports say Tinnemeyer turned himself in rather than be found by the Mexican cartels assassination team. It is believed that Tinnemeyer played a major roll in the distribution and sells of drugs in Nevada, California, Arizona, Texas and New Mexico.
Federal officials say they believe the kidnappers were attempting to locate Tinnemeyer to collect the debt or to take other serious action, but because Tinnemeyer was not there the Mexican gangsters took Cole and were seeking a ransom as payback and would trade Cole for the amount owed. Investigators in the Rodriguez kidnapping in San Bernardino are checking for any similarities.

VICTIM DESCRIPTION:
BRIANT RODRIGUEZ, MALE, HISPANIC, WEIGHT: 40LBS, EYES: BROWN, HAIR: BROWN, CLOTHES: YELLOW SHIRT BLUE SLEEVES, BLUE STRIPED SHORTS. BLACK SANDALS.
Organized, well-financed and violent Mexican drug cartels kidnapping cells are targeting a growing number of U.S. citizens; many victims are believed family members of drug dealers. The MDT?s are ordering murders, kidnappings and other violence against innocent Americans and some of the victims are children.
Some of the kidnappings are believed retaliation for drug dealers owing the MDC?s cash for drugs.
Authorities believe this is about terrorizing people for retaliation.
Many American residents were kidnapped and held for ransom in Mexico and others kidnapped from the United States and taken to Mexico.
?Some of the kidnapped were recovered, some were hurt and some were killed,? said agent Alex Horan, who directs the FBI's violent-crime squad in San Diego.
?It's not a pleasant experience. Victims have reported beatings, torture and there have been rapes. . . . Handcuffs and hoods over the head are common,? he said. ?I would certainly be concerned,? Horan said.
He described the kidnapping groups as sophisticated operations similar to terrorist cells, each with a boss and clear divisions of labor. Usually, one group is involved in scouting, another carries out the kidnapping, a third holds the victim and a fourth handles the ransom.
?They know who they're going after. I think they have a list,? Horan said. ?These are kidnapping cells. . . . That's what they do. They do kidnappings all year long.?
While the FBI wouldn't say what the ransom demands are, or how often they're paid, agents said money is driving the increase.
?We've had victims held for days to months,? Horan said.
Not every victim is Hispanic, but there have been ?very few cases where a tourist is targeted at random,? said Eric Drickersen, who supervises the FBI's border liaison office in San Diego.
Some of the kidnappings go unreported because people fear retribution, Drickersen said.
From Brownsville Texas to San Diego California Mexican cities bordering American cities are where most Americans are being killed by assassinations and executions. But other Americans are being killed by the long arm of the Mexican drug cartels which reach deep into America. There are accounts of Mexican drug cartel surrogate terrorist?s invading the U.S. by crossing the porous international border and killing Americans in Dallas Texas, Atlanta Geo, New York City, Phoenix Ariz, Las Vegas Nevada, and is believed to have reached Shelby County Alabama where five people were found murdered gangland style by Mexican nationals.
Many Americans were kidnapped in the U.S. and taken to Mexico where they were murdered. Still other Americans were abducted and slain in Mexico while visiting, others where shot gangland style in country. Dozens of U.S. citizens have been kidnapped, or held hostage, or killed by their captors in Mexico and many cases remain unsolved. Moreover, new cases of disappearances and kidnap-for-ransom and Americans being killed continue to be reported.
Carey Marcella McClintock was threatening to testify against a prominent and well known El Paso Texas criminal defense lawyer who has represented Mexican and American drug traffickers and that he himself was beholding to the drug cartels and their gang members.
Carey?s father has been independently investigating his daughter?s killing and now believes that Carey was taken from a Texas town near Dallas to Juarez Mexico across the border from El Paso Texas on a ruse, and was brutally murdered on August 31, 2008 in Juarez so she could not testify. She was found in an abandoned house in the desert minutes outside of the city. She had been beaten and stabbed multiple times. Carey?s father believes that his daughter was about to testify against the attorney and others in a federal and on going investigation involving the Mexican drug cartel and there hired assailants the El Paso Barrio Azteca gang. ?I believe she was coerced into going to El Paso by the attorney and the attorney?s girl friend where she was provided transportation and was put up in a hotel in Juarez and all paid for by the same attorney. Her family fears that what really happened to Carey has happened to others and that her murder and others like hers will never see the light of day and will never be solved by the corrupt Mexican authorities. He also says the American authorities refuse to investigate because they claim the crime was in Mexico. The El Paso Police Dept has been informed as to the details surrounding the case where the local attorney illegally transported and harbored a known fugitive, yet no investigation is underway. The father also thinks the same attorney had something to do with his daughter?s murder.
