Abducted Baby's Mom Regains Custody After Being Cleared of Baby-Selling Allegations

Maria Gurrolla's four children have been returned to her custody after allegations that a family member was trying to sell newborn Yair Anthony Carillo resulted in state child welfare officials placing the minors in foster care. 

Thomas Miller, Gurrolla's court appointed attorney, told the Associated Press that a custody hearing scheduled for today was canceled after officials
investigated the baby-selling claim. Miller said that the family will be reunited soon and that police were able to determine that the infant's parents were not trying to sell him.

Officials close to the investigation previously confirmed the baby-selling allegations to the AP but spoke only under the condition of anonymity because they were not supposed to discuss the case publicly. Rob Johnson, a spokesman for the Department of Children's Services, the FBI and the Nashville police, refused to comment on the
baby-selling claims.

Authorities were initially concerned with locating the week-old Yair, but now have turned their focus to figuring out exactly why Gurrolla was targeted in the violent attack by Tammy Renee Silas, 39, of Ardmore, Ala. The baby was found safe in Silas's home just three days after she violently stabbed Gurrolla in the neck and chest.
