Atlanta child missing for seven years found safe in Colorado

Police found boy, now 14, after responding to a burglary call and arresting his mother, who didn't have custody of him

A boy who was allegedly taken by his mother, who didn't have custody of him, seven years ago from Atlanta was found last month in Colorado after the mother was arrested in an unrelated incident in suburban Denver, authorities said on Wednesday.

Rabia Khalid, 40, was arrested on 23 February after sheriff's deputies were asked to investigate a suspected burglary taking place at a vacant home that was for sale, the Douglas county sheriff's office said. The deputies found two children in a vehicle outside the property and a man and a woman coming out of the home who initially told them they were working for a realtor, it said in a press release.
