Police Say Child Abducted by Father Returned, Parent Arrested

LOS ANGELES (CNS) - Police today said a 3-year-old girl with an unspecified medical condition, who was taken from her legal guardian by her father, was found safe Thursday and is now in the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services.

The child's father, Freddie Lee Wisner Jr., has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction and two warrants, the Los Angeles Police Department reported. Wisner had been allowed only monitored visits with the child.
