On Wednesday afternoon, after a lead, investigators found the baby intact in a house in Milwaukee.
Two girls were arrested in connection with the Amber Alert. They are being held in custody of minors.
Three men from the same house were arrested, although these charges were unrelated. The girls’ identities are protected because they are minors.
Although the motive was not clear, a source told WISN 12 News that the 16-year-old believed that her allegations of sexual abuse would be taken seriously if she showed up with a baby.
“It simply came to our notice then. “Why would you take my baby while I slept?” said Cureton to Fox6. “They could take my cell phone, they could take my toys, my computer tablets, anything – but you would take my baby, why?”
Police have not confirmed the motive. Cureton said teens need to be held accountable.
“I’m so tired. I’m just going crazy wondering why I’m so worried about my baby,” he told WISN 12 News. “I did not know what happened to him and what they did to him.”
The juvenile charges are being referred to the Milwaukee County Attorney’s Office.
