A woman was arrested for kidnapping after taking her son home.
The mother does not have custody of her 6 year old son, but was allowed to spend the night and visit with him at the home of his grandmother, who has guardianship of the boy.
The boy and his mother were reportedly still sleeping when the grandmother left the house but gone when she returned. The grandmother called the County Sheriff's Department, and deputies located mother and child at her home.
The mother was arrested and booked for kidnapping. The boy was returned to the custody of his grandmother.

We just don't know who is right in these cases where the grandparents are the guardians rather than the parents. Many times grandparents do have to pick up the slack when their children are not good parents.
ReplyDeleteBut in any case, I do not believe the Mother should be charged with kidnapping. That's not something the young boy should grow up and see on his Mother's record.
I certainly agree with "Anonymous'"

There may be extenuating circumstances which could avoid the criminal prosecution.
This may also be a matter of the prosecutor looking for another notch on his "gun." We'll never know.
