Child Missing for Seven Years Found in Humboldt Park as Mother and Sibling Are Arrested

A multiagency task force traced the child to a Humboldt Park residence leading to the mother's arrest.

Overview

U.S. Marshals Service Northern District of Illinois joined the Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force and Chicago Police to locate the child on July 17.
The child was taken from DCFS custody in May 2018 after a medical diagnosis prompted state intervention and court-ordered protection.
The biological mother was arrested without incident at the scene and remains in Cook County Jail on a contempt of court warrant issued in May.
An older sibling present at the home was arrested the following day on an aggravated criminal sexual assault charge.
DCFS has taken custody of the recovered child along with an infant and a toddler found at the address and will continue state care arrangements.
