Reunification of Abducted Toddler
A 3-year-old Alabama girl, Kionni Haugen, who was allegedly kidnapped by her mother, Haley Harris, and taken to Mexico, has been reunited with her family.
The incident began on September 21, when Harris arrived at the father's house, attempting to take Kionni. Investigators used cell phone data to track Harris, but Mexican officials initially refused to release the child.
"I got some moms and grandmas on my staff, and when they found out that little girl, where she was at, then they made it their mission to get her back to America,"
Lawmakers intervened, and Kionni was reunited with her family on October 4. Harris is now facing charges.
