A 1-year-old boy believed to have been abducted by his mother in Massachusetts has been found safe in Alabama.

The Fall River Police Department said that Genezza Packett, the boy’s 22-year-old mother who does not have legal custody of him, visited the child where he lives with her aunt, who does have legal custody, in Fall River on June 20. She told the aunt she was taking the infant to Dunkin’ but she never returned.

Fearing the boy could be in danger because of Packett’s five felony warrants, detectives contacted Massachusetts State Police. Shortly after midnight on June 21, state police located Packett’s cell phone on Interstate 81 in Virginia and learned that she may have been heading to other family members in Mississippi.

Later in the day, Massachusetts officials alerted their counterparts in Alabama that Packett’s cell phone was on Interstate 59 in that state. Alabama Highway Patrol troopers quickly located the vehicle and stopped it in Etowah County shortly after 10 a.m., WIAT reported.

The baby was safe, and the mother was taken into custody. She faces charges in Massachusetts.
