Little Village missing mom, dad, child found safe
CHICAGO (WLS) -- A Little Village family missing since last week has been found safe, a community organizer said.
Chicago's Little Village community had been asking for help finding the Morales family, who were all last seen on Tuesday near their home in the 2200-block of South Kedzie Avenue.
Kristian Armendariz said Monday that 67-year-old Pedro Morales got in touch with a local pastor Sunday night, and said he, 6-year-old Caleb Morales and 51-year-old Justina Mendoza Rodriguez are OK.
They left the area because Pedro Morales was being harassed, threatened and followed by an unknown individual, Armendariz said.
"Don Pedro did was he thought was best to protect his family and left everything behind. The whereabouts of the Morales Family is unknown but they are safe and sound," Armendariz said.
The family wanted to thank the public for spreading awareness.
