EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio — Police in East Cleveland have ended an AMBER Alert Monday afternoon hours after a 2-year-old child who was believed to have been abducted by a 40-year-old suspect was found.
Police offered no other details other than that the child had been found.
Police previously said that the child had been abducted by the ex-boyfriend of the boy's mother.
An AMBER Alert is issued due to the following:
- Law enforcement confirms the child is under 18 years of age.
- Law enforcement believes the abduction poses a credible threat of immediate danger or serious bodily harm or death to the child.
- There is sufficient descriptive information about the child, the suspect, and/or the circumstances surrounding the abduction to believe that activation of the alert will help locate the child.
- A law enforcement agency determines the child is not a runaway and has not been abducted as a result of a family abduction, unless the investigation determines the child is in immediate danger of serious bodily harm or death.
