Phoenix police are searching for 5-month-old Eunice Salinas, who they say was taken from her foster family by her birth mother on Saturday.
Around 8:30 p.m., Eunice was in the care of her foster family when her biological mother, identified as 24-year-old Angelica Salinas, arrived at the house and “forced her out,” according to a Phoenix police news release. Angelica Salinas does not have custody of the baby and “there is concern for the child’s safety,” police said.
Eunice is described as a 2-foot-6-inch, 15-pound baby with black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a blue and pink floral jumpsuit, according to the bulletin. Angelica Salinas is described as a 4-foot-10-inch, 135-pound woman with brown eyes and brown hair.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact 911 to contact Phoenix police.
