Missing Toddler Found by Police

Friend of mother arrested

A missing 3-year-old girl was found in good condition after being  allegedly abducted by a friend of her mother's on Saturday.

Police said Linda Rodriguez, 25, was given permission to take the girl to the park on Saturday, but she never returned with the child.

The toddler was found in the Brooklyn apartment of Rodriguez's friend who said she did not know the child was abducted. Police were able to track the baby down by canvassing places that Rodriguez frequented.

Rodriguez was arrested in Manhattan and is expected to be charged on Monday.
