As a parent I can tell you that there's nothing more horrifying than the thought of something happening to your child or other children in your family.

On Wednesday, WWE Hall of Famer, Kurt Angle took to social media to aid in finding Marjani Aquil, his 16-year-old niece who had been abducted by her ex-boyfriend.

GOOD NEWS!

Police have found Aquil and taken her ex into custody. She was brought safely from a home where the boyfriend, 19-year-old Jermaine Rodgers, had holed up. A SWAT team went in and was able to apprehend Rodgers.

Angle returned to social media to confirm her safety on Facebook this morning:

"My niece has been found," he wrote. "Just wanted to say thank you to all those who have prayed and have shared posts to help locate her. Thank you to the Pittsburgh Police for your persistence in finding my niece. My family is truly appreciative. Love you all."

Here's a scary sidenote. ANOTHER missing woman was also found in the house where Rodgers was hiding.
