rom home
After spending several hours at Neosho Memorial Regional Medical Center in Chanute Monday, Allen County sheriffs deputies took a 3-day-old infant into protective custody.
Citing privacy concerns, the Sheriffs Office declined to give any specific details of what lead to the custody decision.
The parents are Allen County residents, Sheriff Bryan Murphy noted. He is working with the Allen County attorneys office, the State Department of Children and Families and the Juvenile Justice Department in the hopes the child can soon be returned to the family.
The case did not involve either physical or sexual abuse, Murphy said.
