Alabama Toddler Found Safe After Brief Abduction, Father Arrested

The 3-year-old was quickly recovered following an Amber Alert; his father faces charges related to the abduction and a separate domestic incident.

An Amber Alert was issued early Monday for 3-year-old Willon Jace McClain after he was abducted by his father in Forestdale, Ala.
Willon was found safe within hours, and his father, Willie Edward McClain Jr., was arrested without incident.
The child's mother, also involved in a related incident, was treated for a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
The Amber Alert system, critical in the quick recovery, has led to the rescue of 180 children nationwide last year.
The ongoing investigation will examine the circumstances surrounding the abduction and the events leading up to it.
