Police say the toddler's father allegedly took him from his mother at gunpoint.

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — UPDATE: The 3-year-old boy who was taken from his mother at gunpoint on Tuesday has been returned to his mother safely, police said in an overnight update. 

ORIGINAL STORY: Police are looking for a 3-year-old boy who they said was taken from his mother at gunpoint on Tuesday.

The boy has black hair and brown eyes. He reportedly stands 3-feet tall, weighs around 40 pounds, and was last seen barefoot wearing a Spiderman shirt, gray and black sweat pants.

Clayton County Police said officers responded to the 1500 block of Tigris Court in College Park on Tuesday around 5:30 p.m. and discovered the boy's father, a 17-year-old, allegedly took him from his mother at gunpoint without her permission.

Authorities contacted the teen, who told them he would take the child back home, but he never returned, according to police.

Police have issued warrants for his arrest for kidnapping, aggravated assault, and terroristic threats; however, his mother does not believe her son is in any danger, police said.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact the police department at (770)477-3550.
