Kidnapped child reunited with mother
web
posted December 24, 2008
EDGEFIELD – Edgefield Police have
recovered an Edgefield youth that they said was abducted Tuesday
afternoon. 7-year-old Josef Micah Washington was reunited with his
mother around 3 pm at the Edgefield Police Department and was “in good
condition”, Edgefield Police Cpl. Michael Butts said, adding “She’s
(the mother) is ecstatic.” Cpl. Butts worked the investigation
non-stop for 24 hours until the child was returned.
Police said Josef was
taken from the home of his fraternal grandparents
Tuesday around 1 pm by his father, Timothy Washington, 30, currently
from Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Washington’s sister, who also is currently
living in Atlanta, brought the child back to Edgefield. “The
grandmother and the aunt brought him (Josef) to the Police Department.”
The reunion with the mother came just in time for Christmas.
Cpl. Butts said no charges have been filed in the case at this time.
“We’re still investigating the situation and have not been in touch
with the Solicitor’s Office at this time. Charges are pending on the
outcome of the investigation.”
Statements have been gathered throughout the investigation, including
from the aunt that brought the child back from Atlanta. Timothy
Williams is still in Atlanta, Ga., Cpl. Butts said.
Edgefield Police Chief Ronnie Carter deferred comments to Cpl. Butts
for this report.
