Written by Tiffany Rubin is on the headlines today but the question comes in mind as to why? This is because Tiffany’s 7 years old son Kobe Lee got kidnapped by her former beau Jeffery Salko on August 21st 2008.
The couple was sharing the custody of the kid earlier but after spending 6 months in prison for the failure in bearing the expenditures of the kid support, Jeffery Salko finally decided to kidnap the son and then did the same when he found the opportunity. After abducting the kid, he took him to his native land South Korea.
On her Myspace account, Tiffany Rubin got an anonymous tip from someone who claimed as to where her son was and which school he went to!
With that piece of information and the support of the American Association for Lost Children Inc., Tiffany Rubin packed the bags and flew to South Korea. She reached son’s school and took permission from the teacher to talk to him. Tiffany took the son into the hall where she disguised Kobe with a wig so that when they both left the hall no one could recognize him.
Soon after Rubin with son took shelter in the US Embassy until they could find the safe way out. Eventually she succeeded in getting her son back in the US.

Tiffany, As a mother who has experienced international kidnapping I can certainly relate to the horrows you experienced and understand that a mother “will go to all lengths” to get to her child. Congratulations on the glorious reunion with your darling son. The picture speaks volumns of your happiness!
God is a delivering God. I too was miracously reunited with my daughter Shafaa after over ten yrs.separation. Looking forward to viewing your story on Lifetime. Nancy Salem
Tiffany Rubin did not do all that is being said. I helped her get her son. I am the one who used my contacts and I am the one who contacted Mark Miller and I have proof of it. Mark Miller even told the writer of her little movie that I was the one who started everything. But, I guess some people like to have all the credit and some people pretend like they were there to get credit. All I know is if I didn’t use my resources and contact Mr. Miller there would be no movie and little 15 minutes of fame.
That right girl i would do anything for my children.I’am truly proud of you for having faith and risking it all. It takes a strong women to endure what you did..As you well know the love between a mother and child are unbreakable. Congradulation on getting your son back i hope that you and your son have a wonderful life……..
i think what you was truely remarkable. no child should ever have to grow up without their mother. you make want to change the world and become greater for the world.
i think what you did was truely remarkable. no child should ever have to grow up without their mother. you make me want to change the world and become a better person.
What amazing determination and faith and strength. May God continue to bless you and your family
If I were only allowed to see my kid every other weekend I’d consider “kidnapping” him too. This story is more about our screwed up family court system that is routinely sexist and unfair to fathers.
I am happy that she was able to get her son back, I am a mother and I would do anything for my child! And to the person above, about who should get the “credit” as to getting her son back and about the movie that I am watching right now, you need to get over yourself and take pride in the fact that she has her son home with her and he is safe!
Scc78 that is so selfeish the girl lost her son what’s your problem
Scc78, shame on you…..Even if only you and God know what you did, shouldn’t the peace in your heart that you helped bring an innocence child home be enough.
It seems that Scc78 is more concerned about his or her own fame then the recovery of this beautiful little boy that was taken from his mother. Scc78 if you really want credit, next time you comment, use your real name.
Tiffany, all that matters is that you are reunited with your son. Congratulations!
to Tiffany im watching your story now on lifetime and i would like to say im so glad you did what you had to do to get your baby back.
to SCC78,,,are you really complaining because you didnt get your 15 min of fame in the expense of a kidnapped kid. get over it sweetie, you should know that there are always things left out of movies to shorten or to make more interesting. this story is to bring awareness to a major issue not to make a couple thousand dollars or to blast your name all over the world. you should be worried about being an awsome friend and standing by tiffany and her sons side, this will haunt them for years to come.
thanks for reminding the rest of us that there are assholes like you out there.
lls at scc78, you are a hater!
To Tiff and Kobe, CONGRATS!!!! Tiff i see why “scc78″ wasn’t in the story, i wouldn’t mention them either!
No I am not complaining, I just do not like how she took all of the credit for something and I was not mentioned once in the papers. I did all of the work, she did about 1% of the job.
Scc78, if you really feel robbed then leave your real name here rather than an alias. I find it hard to believe anything you say as an anonymous poster. I personally think you’re full of it.
Scc78: YOU are ignorant. Did YOU go to SK and retrieve the boy? NO. I would say you did maybe 25% of the job if any of it. Sounds to me like YOU are the one who is upset and/or jealous over not having this “15 min of fame” you ignorant prick.
Scc78: And furthermore, if what you say is in fact true, looks to me like you ONLY helped her to GET on the news, not to help this child or his family,and when you didn’t get it, you decided to “cry” on this site; which, makes YOU a scumbag….
SCC78.You should be ashamed of yourself to go as far as posting these comments for all to see. You should be proud that you assisted a mother reuniting with her son and let GOD reward you. You are looking for Earthly Praise which is only for a moment and forgotten. Ask GOD to forgive you for making these selfish comments.
Scc78 I found out is Samantha cason or Carson Tiffany sister in law get over yourself girl you are really lame. Be happy for your sister in law
Scc78 I would go to the ends of the earth to save my son I’m sure she could have done it without u keep ur ignorant comments to ur self Ur selfish and ur making yourself look bad!! CONGRATS Tiffany he is a beautiful little boy and with u is where he belongs! Don’t listen to the ignorant comments!
scc78. I’m glad you did all that work to help Tiffany out. Things like that will not go unoticed with God. I’m happy she got her son back. Her son needed to be with her not in South Korea. Movies are just what they are. Is shows a problem in the world. A lot of things are different in movies then the real deal. God bless to all.
Scc78,
Were you THE mother of this child? No.
And besides, those who often praise themselves only gain an audience of 1.
I was interviewed by ABC Nightline during the first Million Man March. What did they feature? Angry black men. Was MY segment shown? No. But, you don’t see me upset because I know it’s just a “Hollywood Thing”.
Scc or whoever uu are , dont worry bout who took all the credit just cause uu wanted to be in the movie … just be happy nd thank God that she has her son back . !
Hi,ms.tiffany u are a bad mama I,m so happy for u your baby boy there nothing like a mama when it come to her cub.chicago is so proud of u.gurl u rock.
Now for scc78? Its hard to find world that would fit for the likes of what udid or didt do who really care about u as u can see no one why because u are a coldblooded bum!!!!. Trust me I could go on and on but what the point uwill never get it
p.s to the grandmom gurl u rock too.
Scc78, If you were honestly the person you say you are, you wouldn’t be trying to disquise your name. I think you are just a liar and trying to stir up a pot. You should be ashamed for even posting such preposterous junk!
“Samantha Carson” or “Tiffany’s sister-in-law” was actually mentioned in several newspaper articles I read. So, she did get some recognition, but probably not the recognition she was hoping for.
Writers and editors wrote and edited the movie, not Tiffany herself, so there is not need to be hostile toward her. Let’s remember she’s the victim here, and YOU helped her; but, you seem ungracious to bash her because of a lack of Hollywood recognition.
On another note? Did you fly out to Korea and risk jail-time in a Korean prison? (Not being a smart-ass, just asking.)
I just watched the movie version & it was very touching! I just want to say Congratulations to Ms. Rubin, her son, & all those who supported her in her efforts to find him. You all are very courageous!!! To go to a foreign country & take back your abducted child.. That’s very commendable! Continue to keep God first b/c without him protecting you, this wouldn’t have been possible to carry out! God Bless you all!
read info on movie….the credit is where credit is due. The MAIN part of the storyline is about Tiffany and her son. No need to emphasize on smaller parts.
I agree with u 100% Matt. If us fathers were given the same rights as mothers regarding this this type of thing wouldn’t happen. I in no way condone kidnapping a child or what the father in this case did but the courts need to realize that us Fathers love our children just as much as their mothers do.
To Samantha Rubin:I just watched the movie version and was touched by the story. I am truly appalled by your insensitive and narcissistic comment (above). In my viewpoint, the sole point of the movie was to give hope to other parents who are or have gone through a similar experience, not to give credit to someone who craves for 15 minutes (or even 15 seconds)of fame.
To Samantha Cason (Scc78: I was so angered by your remark that I inadvertently posted the incorrect name. It is to you that I am directing my comment.
Scc78 really? U have no regard for human life it is fame you are looking for. In the movie the person who helped is credited. U are a loser and a jackass. This movie is about parents and the shock of their child being taken and the lengths they will go to get them back. Who gives a shit about u wanting 15min. She is not famous for this she just wanted her child.
ok attention craver scc78 its Michael Miller’s American Association for Lost Children
To scc78…… You sound real selfish, people who do good things have good things come to them but it seems like you are a bit in patient. At the end the day God sees your good deeds not lifetime movie network or any magazine just be happy and proud you did something great to help someone out…. Dont be bitter.
Scc78. Get over yourself, I have helped many women & children through domestic abuse, the only thanks I need is to know that they are safe & happy. When u do things for the right reasons you really don’t care about anything else.
So here is the deal, in a movie a lot changes but the main characters stay has much has possible close to the real story. Miss SCC78 your name is posted on this article: http://articles.nydailynews.com/2008-03-27/local/17893424_1_kobe-south-korea-brooklyn-home. Hope it will help. We are not saying that you are not an important part of the story,but it wasnt crunchy enough for the movie. It happens all the time. With that being said, God knows what you did and he will be bless you in return. Just be glad that your nephew in law is back.Dont be jealous girl. God dont like ugly!!!
I love my children to death i couldnt imagine being separated from them, not even a moment and i cant say i would have the same kind of strength or courage that Tiffany had. To the father on here i am a single mother and i agree 100% that fathers are given a harder time about custody and rights. But most of the time men dont fight as hard for their children as mothers do. In this particular story the father only wanted his son to get back at his exwife for leaving him. Not because he loved him. And for SCC78 may God have mercy on your self absorbed, inconsiderate, pitiful life. Im sorry you dont feel fulfilled enough in your life that you feel u need to seek validation from strangers but thats your own problem and not anyone elses!
I’ve read many different opinions on what should have been done,
and how some parties may have been treated unfarely.
We are all entitled to them.
The point is, what kind of person are you? Do you blame everyone
Else for your personal problems. Men and Women should stop and
Think about the children they effect in there relationships and stop
Using them as tools, and realize they are people to, they are just
Little people…. things that should make us all say hummm!
