The abduction occurred early Friday evening at 6:54 p.m. Friday when police officers responded to a residential facility in the 200 block of Ashbury Street to investigate a missing person report.

Officers said they spoke with an employee of the facility, who said a resident, Chelsea Tamulevich, left the facility with her child, Caspian. Based on a valid court order, Chelsea has no custody rights over Caspian and was not permitted to leave the facility with the child.

San Francisco police said on Monday both mother and son appeared to be in good health and Caspian will be reunited with his father.

Chelsea was taken into custody and was taken to the hospital for medical assessment pending criminal charges.

Police say this remains an open investigation.
