EAST MOLINE, Ill. (AP) — A 6-year-old boy has been reunited with his mother after authorities in Illinois say his estranged father took the child to Thailand.

Daniel Glaus, who is the non-custodial parent, was arrested over the weekend in Bangkok on kidnapping charges. The 48-year-old Glaus is awaiting extradition.

East Moline police Lt. Darren Gault says the boy’s mother filed a report on June 19 stating her son had not returned from a court-arranged visitation with his father. Gault says investigators determined Glaus had flown out of the country with the boy.

The father was detained Sunday by Royal Thai Police on an immigration violation, and the boy was turned over to the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok.

Gault says the boy was reunited with his mother in the U.S. on Tuesday.
