"Safe and Sound: The 8-Month-Old Baby's Rescue and Mother's Arrest"

The parents of the 8-month-old girl found safe after an Amber Alert have a history of domestic violence, with the father, Jacob Alexander Howard, facing multiple charges related to abuse against the mother, Arys Maria Martinez. Despite repeated incidents and legal actions, including probation violations, the state declined to prosecute Howard on criminal charges stemming from a 2023 arrest. Martinez sought restraining orders for protection, but failed to appear at hearings to make them permanent, raising concerns about the safety of their daughter.
