A 6-year-old girl briefly went missing after being whipped by her mother and left home alone, authorities in Washington State say.

Adriana Giselle Rivas, 25, stands accused of one count each of assault of a child in the second degree, and family abandonment over the recent incident, according to Franklin County Jail records reviewed by Law&Crime. In the past, Rivas has been a defendant in numerous different criminal cases, according to Evergreen State court records.

The child in question is now safe – she was found at her grandmother’s residence by the Pasco Police Department after Rivas herself reported the girl as missing, according to an affidavit of probable cause obtained by the Tri-City Herald.
