Girl Abducted 26 Years Ago Is Found; Mom Arrested

A girl allegedly abducted in New Jersey more than a quarter-century ago was located in Nevada this week when she inadvertently alerted authorities after filing unrelated court documents, police said. Her mother has been arrested.

"It is an active investigation, and we are treating it as such," Sgt. Frank Roman of the Somerset County Prosecutor's Office in New Jersey told AOL News. "We are trying to expedite interviews, and we are looking [out for] the best interest of our victim here."

Last year a father basically got a slap on the wrist for doing a similar thing, and people insisted that the mother should put her children first and should not have pressed charges.

However, here we have a mother doing it so they are throwing the book at her. It's interesting that here it is 2010 and we have such double standards.
