Last Monday, an Amber Alert was issued as a five-year-old Julian Kiley was missing. But now it has been canceled, as his mother contacted the cops, reporting that she was turning herself in to a police station at Leesburg.

The Coconut Creek Police Department said that Tiffany Kiley, the 29-year-old mother, had lost custody of her five-year-old child earlier this month, and abducted him from his aunt's home in the 4100 block of Northwest 62nd Court.

During the hearing Kiley became emotional and begged that she does not want to go to prison.

"I'm scared. I don't want to go to jail. I just want to get my kid home," Kiley said on the phone. "I was going to go to the police station."

"OK, well, I strongly suggest that you go ahead and do that," a Broward County judge replied.

The Coconut Creek police narrated that the Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents met Kiley and took her to the Lake County Jail. It is expected that she will be charged with interference in the custody of a minor and burgling an occupied house.

Julian was returned to his aunt, Stephanie, who had been given primary custody of the child. He had been found in good condition by the investigators from the Florida Department of Children and Families.

When investigated, Stephanie Kiley said she did not know how her sister Tiffany came inside the house.

"She snuck into the house," Stephanie Kiley said. "I had just said goodnight to my nephew for the second time to check on him. I just had a really itchy feeling that he was not... something just told me that something wasn't right today."

She added that she did fight to prevent her sister and nephew from leaving the house.

"We're both scrambling around and next thing you know, me and her are at the front door (and) she's telling him to run out, and my husband's running after him," Stephanie Kiley said, adding that she's had custody of Julian for two weeks.

The police had displayed an alert for the cars in which the mother-son duo might have been travelling. One silver, two-door pick-up truck or a silver, four-door Toyota Corolla. Both cars are exhibiting Virginia license plates. Tiffany said she was headed to Massachusetts.

In a three-and-a-half hour drive from Coconut Creek, Stephanie drove to Leesburg so that she could reunite with Julian. When she came there, the mother and son just hugged and posed for the cameras.

As Julian had a learning or developmental disability, his mother said that she wanted to get him home to Massachusetts fast, so that he could be helped by his relatives and medicos.

The police said that Kiley was discovered in the pickup truck that had been driven by her friend, Ronald Rouse, who might also face charges.
