Police: Alabama child missing for 13 years found in Ohio

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Police say that 13 years after a 5-year-old went missing from his home in Alabama, they’ve found him unharmed — now an 18-year-old living in Ohio.

Authorities told news outlets that Julian Hernandez was found in Cleveland. His mother reported him missing from the Birmingham area in 2002.

His father, 53-year-old Bobby Hernandez, was arrested in Ohio. AL.com (http://bit.ly/1Pcjqgp) reports that he’s charged with tampering with records in Ohio to get a driver’s license and that police say he’ll face abduction charges in Alabama.

Special Agent Vicki Anderson said the FBI in Ohio received information Oct. 30 that a local teenager may be a missing child. Anderson told AL.com that the boy and his father have apparently been living in Cleveland.

Authorities say Julian Hernandez is safe and unharmed.
