HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—A noncommunicative boy was found alone in Huntington Beach Oct. 3, prompting a call for public help to locate his family before police were able to identify him—and take his mother into custody.
Kimberly Kalafatic, 46, of Huntington Beach, was arrested on the late morning of Oct. 3 on suspicion of child endangerment, a short time after police had sought the public’s help to identify the boy, according to Jessica Cuchilla of the Huntington Beach Police Department.
