A teenage mother and her 2-month-old baby boy have been found safe after briefly going missing when the pair left their New Jersey home and hadn't been heard from, according to police.
Hackettstown Police said that 16-year-old Maria Flores-Chavarria left her home in the town around 4 p.m. Tuesday with her toddler son, Marvin Flores-Chavarria. It is believed they could have been heading to the area of Dover or Morristown, according to police.
It was not immediately clear what the mother and son were last seen wearing when they left home, but police said the mother would likely have a duffel bag and a black backpack filled with diapers and clothing.
Maria is described as 5 feet tall with black hair and dark eyes. Marvin is about 2 feet tall with brown eyes and black hair, police said.
