Missing Toddler Found Safe With Mom After Cantonment Search

January 28, 2018

A toddler was found safe with his mother after a search in the Cantonment area late Saturday afternoon.

According to Deb Henley, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, the mother went to  visit a relative and took the child with her but forgot to tell the grandfather. The mother does not have phone, so the grandfather was unable to reach her to find out where she was at and if she had the child.

“So he called just in case,” Henley said.

The grandfather called the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office to the residence on Pace Parkway off Muscogee Road about 4:35 p.m.

ECSO deputies and a K-9 searched the house and the area for the child, and Escambia Search and Rescue was alerted.

“We were eventually able to verify she had taken her daughter with her,” Henley said.  The child was safe and was never in any danger.
