Description
A foster parent and her mother were arrested at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport after allegedly kidnapping a 5-year-old Mount Vernon boy and taking him to Vietnam.
Amanda Dinges, 35, and her mother, Amber Dinges, 60, were arrested by Mount Vernon police on Dec. 29 upon returning from Vietnam. They are currently in custody at Skagit County Community Justice Center in Mount Vernon.
Their first court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 30.
The boy, who was under the care of Dinges, arrived back in Seattle Dec. 16.
The boy reunited with his biological mother after he arrived.
"She said that he's doing good, that he was excited to see her," said Brittany Tri, the birth mother's attorney. "They're both excited, so the excitement goes both ways, but she did say that he's very tired."
The search for the boy began Nov. 28 when Child Protective Services alerted Mount Vernon police that Amanda Dinges may have left with the boy.
Police discovered Amanda Dinges disconnected her phones, vacated her last known address and fled the area.
CPS told police the child had not been in school since Nov. 21 and there was a notice of abandonment on the door of Dinges' apartment, according to probable cause documents.
