INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD confirmed a missing Indianapolis mother and her child were found safe.
IMPD Missing Persons detectives were looking for 24-year-old Savanna Mason and her son, 3-month-old Paris Hayes Jr.
Police said Savanna and Paris were dropped off in the 5800 block of Rockville Road, near Interstate 465 and South Lynhurst Drive on the city's west side, on Oct. 31 and had not been seen since then.
IMPD tweeted Wednesday at 9:53 a.m. that both Savanna and Paris were located and are safe.
Amber Alert vs. Silver Alert: What's the difference?
There are specific standards a person's disappearance must meet in order for police to declare an Amber Alert or a Silver Alert.
Amber Alerts are for children under the age of 18 who are believed to have been abducted and in danger. Police also need to have information about a suspect and their car to issue an Amber Alert.
Silver Alerts are for missing and endangered adults or children. They are much more common for missing people. It was not until last year when the standards for Silver Alerts were expanded to include children.
In both situations, these alerts must be issued by police.
