**UPDATE* Parent's Located re: Found Child, Willowbrook Ave and Alondra Blvd, Compton

At approximately 10:00am Sunday morning, the parents and the grandmother of the found 3-year-old in Compton made contact with Compton Sheriff's Station. They are currently being interviewed by station detectives, as well as the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), to access if there will be any criminal charges against the family and/or any services needed.

Preliminary information indicates miscommunication between the family members led to the little girl not being supervised, however the incident is still under investigation.

The name of the child and her family members will not be released at this time.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department wishes to thank the media and the public for their assistance regarding this incident. We are thankful we were able to locate the family of this little girl and keep her safe.
