 Authorities in Washington Park, a village next to East St. Louis in the southwestern part of the state, raided the house Thursday afternoon and took into custody a 24-year-old man and his mother. They also recovered the teen's young child, which the girl said was the result of rape by her captor. 
 
 Washington Park Police Chief David Clark said they believe the man's mother aided the crimes. Police would not identify either of them by name because they had not been charged as of early Friday. 
 
 About two dozen members of a police commando unit wearing helmets and body armor swarmed the home with assault rifles drawn. They recovered the child and arrested a man and his mother. 
 
 One officer carried the child from the home, shielding the toddler with a sheet. The child was then taken away in an ambulance. 
 
 Police in St. Louis, Missouri, had listed the girl as a missing or runaway juvenile in April 2010. 
 
 The teen told police she was held against her will and was beaten and sexually assaulted almost every day. She reported trying to escape several times but told police that her captor chased her down each time and forced her back to the home at gunpoint. 
 
 She told police she was able to escape this week with the help of a relative. 
 
 Police said the teen also told them she was forced by the man and his mother to give a false name in medical records during her pregnancy and when the child was born. 
 
 A neighbor, Lakeitha Smith, told several local TV stations that she saw the girl from time to time outside the house and never witnessed anything that would raise concern. 
 
 "I used to see her come out of the house, back and forth," Smith said. "I didn't think she was being held hostage in the house." ||||| A teenage girl reported missing more than two years ago escaped from a home in southwestern Illinois where she said she was held captive and repeatedly sexually assaulted, police said Thursday. 
 
 Police in Washington Park, a village next to East St. Louis, said the girl reported that she was raped by her captor, got pregnant and had a baby. 
 
 In April 2010, St. Louis, Mo., police listed the girl as a missing or runaway juvenile. She was 15 when she disappeared. 
 
 She escaped from the home in Washington Park earlier this week and went to police, saying her child was still in the house. 
 
 About two dozen members of a SWAT team wearing helmets and body armor swarmed the home Thursday afternoon with their assault rifles drawn. They recovered the child and arrested a 24-year-old man. 
 
 One of the officers carried the child _ apparently unharmed _ in his arms, and a white sheet was draped over the child's head to conceal the toddler's identity. The child was taken away in a waiting ambulance. 
 
 Washington Park Police Chief David Clark said it appears the man's mother assisted in the crime. She was also taken into custody. Police would not identify either of them by name because they had not been charged as of Thursday evening.

– A missing teenager managed to a flee an Illinois home where she told police she had been held captive for as long as three years and sexually abused almost daily, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. She directed police back to the location, where a SWAT team arrested a 24-year-old man and his mother, and retrieved a toddler the teen said had been fathered by her rapist. The young woman ran away from her home in Missouri at the age of 15, says the Washington Park police chief, who added that police believe the man's mother aided the crimes. The teen told police she tried to escape several times that her captor chased her down each time and forced her back to the home at gunpoint. She says a relative finally helped her flee on Tuesday, reports the AP. Police said the teen also told them she was forced by the man and his mother to give a false name in medical records during her pregnancy and when the child was born.
