Baby kidnapped from hospital

An Amber Alert has been issued for a 10-month-old boy who was allegedly kidnapped by his mother from a hospital in Orange, California.

Alakahi Thompson was taken from the hospital at 455 S. Main St. in Orange around 10 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

The suspect is identified as Ida Marybel Torres, a Latina who is 5 feet 4, 125 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.

Investigators say Torres also fled with her 5-year-old and 11-year-old children. It’s believed she is driving a rental car– a silver 2008 Chrysler Sebring, license plate 6AHA682, and may be headed for Kentucky.

The Sheriff’s Department said the boy’s father has legal custody of the child and Torres only has visitation rights.

    How in the heck do you charge a Mom with kidnapping after she just had the baby.They were still in the hospital. I HATE stories like this. I have to wonder why this Mom fled. A lot of women who are on the run with their kids do not want to be found for a reason. There is a huge percentage of victims of violence who flee for safety reasons. When I see missing persons posters of mothers with their kids I have learned that a huge percentage are victims of DV who do not want to be found. Courts can be very hard on battered women and most people are not aware of this statistic but when a mother alleges DV and a father fights for custody he gains some sort of custody 70% of the time. There is always so much more to stories like this and I hope it has a happy ending.
