Missing Stoughton Children Found Safe in Boston After Amber Alert, Mother Suspected of Parental Kidnapping

Following the issuance of an Amber Alert for what was characterized as a parental kidnapping situation, three children from Stoughton, Massachusetts were safely found yesterday evening in the Boston region.

Ashyley Vazquez, 29, the mother of the children, was accused of kidnapping her children, ages 8, 9, and 10, which prompted the alert to be issued earlier in the day. The youngsters were found safe, according to the State Police’s tweet: “AMBER ALERT FROM STOUGHTON, MA CANCELLED – Children have been safely located,” according to NBC10 Boston. Conflicting claims from the Stoughton and State Police caused the age reports to differ, with the eldest youngster being listed as either 10 or 11 years old.

While Vazquez’s car was traced to the Boston suburb of Jamaica Plain, the Canton Police Department was the first to report the children’s safe arrival, according to WHDH.

“Vazquez is believed to have taken her 10-year-old son, 9-year-old daughter, and 8-year-old daughter from their home earlier Friday with their packed belongings,” NBC10 Boston reported, expressing fears for the children’s safety. Following the event, authorities have not yet revealed if Vazquez is in jail, and they did not immediately provide the public with any other updates on the ongoing investigation.

The incident sparked a massive police response and activated the Amber Alert system, which is intended to quickly notify the public about child abductions and facilitate the early resolution of such cases. One important element in finding the kids and guaranteeing their return was the prompt application of geolocation technology.
