Abducted child found UPDATE

A 16-month-old child was abducted yesterday from a Mountain Home daycare owned by state Rep. Johnny Key's wife. An alert was issued by the State Police at 8 p.m. and the child was found several hours later. More yet to be learned about the abductor, who is in custody. Also about how she was able to pick up the child with a bogus story about 11:30 a.m. and an alert came more than eight hours later.

UPDATE: The story has been updated by the Mountain Home paper. Stranger still.

Thank goodness that this has a happy ending! Obviously, there is more to the story that will come out, but at least this baby is alive and apparently well, with his parents.

Man I would noto have wanted to be around when Momma showed up and they tried to explain handing out the baby to strangers.

Someone may have severely violated protocol. There's a custody list kept at child care places and schools indicating adults who have authority to pick up a child other than parents. But the article is sketchy.
