DAD & GRANNY BUSTED FOR KIDNAPPING AUTISTIC BOY
A KIDNAPPED autistic Florida six-year-old was found safe in Canada following a two-month hunt and the boy’s dad and grandma were busted for the snatch, say cops.
Jorge “Jojo” Morales was supposed to be returned to his mom, Yanet Leal Concepcion, in Miami on Aug. 27 following a visit with his dad, Jorge, 45, and granny Lilliam, 68.
Instead, the three vanished, violating a court order and triggering a two-country hunt, police say.
Lawmen suspected the boy was taken out of the U.S. after a GMC Yukon with some of Jorge’s stuff inside was found by a border patrol team 1,800 miles away from Florida in Littleton, Maine, near the Canadian line on Sept. 27.
Then in late October, the boy was spotted in a large discount store. Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers moved in, found
Jojo and busted his dad and grandma, say police.
Mom Yanet claims her baby dad told Jojo he was going to “take him to live on a farm with windmills” and scared him by saying “bad people” were trying to take him away.
Now that he’s back, Yanet says she’s “just so happy, I thought my son was gonna die.”
