Haro was reported missing Aug. 14 after his mother said he was taken from the parking lot of a Big 5 Sporting Goods store in Yucaipa, California.

California police are still searching for a 7-month-old boy after his mother said he was kidnapped outside a store in California.

The investigation has raised urgent questions about the child's welfare and the credibility of the mother's original report.

After Rebecca Haro reported that her 7-month-old son Emmanuel Haro was kidnapped during an attack in a parking lot, which left her unconscious, police noted "inconsistencies" in her story.

Authorities searching for a missing 7-month-old boy claim his mother has provided "inconsistent" statements to investigators while his father has a prior conviction for child cruelty.

Riverside County authorities confirmed Wednesday that they removed a 2-year-old child from the Haro home after Emmanuel was reported missing, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. The removal is another twist in an already complicated case.

According to Riverside County records, the missing 7-month-old's father pleaded guilty to willful cruelty to a child following a 2018 arrest.
