Babysitter could face kidnapping charges

Posted: 02/24/07 at 10:54 pm

WINCHESTER, Mass. -- Two toddlers found safe and sound after a statewide amber alert last night.

The mother of 18-month-old James Asaro, who is also the babysitter of 17-month-old Owen Henry, has been charged with kidnapping.

Owen Henry's parents are relieved after the horrifying situation. Their fears are calmed this morning, but last night, an unnerving experience for the parents of the 17-month-old toddler.

Around 2:30 in the afternoon, the babysitter called Owen Henry's mother to tell her she was taking the children for a ride. However, they were not heard from until early this morning when a State Police officer saw the car, with the babysitter and toddlers inside, not far from Henry's home.

Lucky for them, their baby boy has been found and is back in their arms this morning.
