   UPDATE, 9:40 a.m.: Police say 2-year-old Ronnie Tran has been found safe in Renton, but they are still looking for the boy’s 65-year-old paternal grandmother. 
   
   ORIGINAL POST: 
   
   Des Moines police issued an Amber Alert on Wednesday for a 2-year-old boy who was reportedly taken by force, along with his mother, from a home on Tuesday. 
   
   Sgt. Mike Graddon said at a news conference Wednesday morning that the alleged abduction is complicated and involves a lot of people. “We’re still trying to figure this all out,” Graddon said. 
   
   Ronnie Tran and his 40-year-old mother were at a house in Des Moines when the mother was stunned with an electrical device, bound with plastic ties and taken, along with the boy, to a house in Fife, according to police. 
   
   At the house, the mother was tied to a cupboard in the garage and the boy was taken inside, police said. 
   
   Police said the two female assailants were known to the mother, but they did not further clarify the relationships. 
   
   The mother managed to escape Tuesday afternoon, but was unable to get into the house to retrieve her child, police said in a statement Wednesday morning. 
   
   The victim did not call police but called a family member to pick her up at around noon. 
   
   Police were notified around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday. 
   
   A Hyundai Sonata that was used in the alleged abduction was located, and one woman has been taken into custody, police said. 
   
   Police said the boy’s father is talking with detectives. 
   
   The boy’s paternal grandmother, Vien Nguyen, 65, also is missing. Police believe she may be with the boy, but also say that they believe the child is endangered because of the manner in which he and his mother were abducted. A previous version of this story said Nguyen was the child’s maternal grandmother, but the relationship was clarified by Graddon later Wednesday morning. 
   
   Anyone who sees the child should call 911, police said. ||||| An alleged kidnapping was brought to a halt after a babysitter realized the child in his care was the subject of an Amber Alert, authorities said. 
   
   The toddler had allegedly been kidnapped by the boy’s paternal grandmother and the girlfriend of the boy’s father, police in Washington state told ABC News. The girlfriend asked her brother John Truong to watch the 2-year old, and Truong was the one to call police once he realized who he had in his care. 
   
   The girlfriend, identified by a Des Moines police spokesman as Alyssa Chang, allegedly brought the 2-year-old boy to her brother's house to have him babysit the child. 
   
   On Tuesday night, Chang told her brother, John Truong, that the toddler was her boyfriend's son, police said. Truong said he didn't realize anything was awry until Wednesday morning when he saw an Amber Alert about the alleged kidnapping on social media. 
   
   "I'm eating my breakfast, I'm checking my , all of a sudden I see this Amber Alert for this child and it looks like this child in my bed, and I'm like, 'Oh, my God! What's going on?'" John Truong told ABC affiliate KOMO-TV in Seattle. 
   
   "It was my sister who had asked me as a favor to watch her boyfriend's son. And that's how he came and was dropped off.” 
   
   The suspected kidnapping was only part of the alleged crime that police were trying to solve at the time, because both the boy and his mother had allegedly been abducted by Chang and the boy's paternal grandmother, identified by police as Vien Nguyen. 
   
   Police say the incident unfolded early Tuesday afternoon in Des Moines when the child’s grandmother Nguyen, 65, and Chang, 46, arrived at a home and allegedly abducted both the child and his mother, whose name has not been released. 
   
   In order to subdue the child's mother, police say, either Nguyen or Chang allegedly struck her with a stun gun before trying her up and driving her and the toddler to another home in a town 20 miles away in the town of Fife, Des Moines police Sgt. Mike Graddon told ABC News.

   Once they arrived at the home in Fife, the women allegedly retied the child’s mother in the garage and took the child into the house. Police say the child’s mother was able to get out of the ties but not into the house, so she ran to a neighbor’s home. 
   
   Rather than immediately call police, however, investigators say she called a relative. It was not until about 9:00 p.m. when police were notified and they sent out an Amber alert. 
   
   When the child’s mother spoke to investigators, she was able to identify both of the suspects, authorities say, but the case is still under investigation. 
   
   "There’s a lot of family dynamics involved," Sgt. Graddon told ABC News. "As far as why, we can only speculate." 
   
   Police were only able to locate the child the next morning, however, when Chang’s brother called after seeing the Amber Alert online. 
   
   After Truong contacted police, they were able to secure the boy, who was unharmed. From there, they were able to locate Chang and the car used in the alleged abduction at the Fife home that the child’s mother had directed police to during her initial 911 call. 
   
   The boy’s father, Kang Tran, met with police Wednesday morning before the boy was found, police said. After hours of interviews, he was not charged in connection to the incident, police say. 
   
   The boy was reunited with his mother and his father Wednesday afternoon. 
   
   Chang was taken into police custody and Nguyen turned herself in later Wednesday. Police say both face three felony charges: kidnapping, felony assault, and unlawful imprisonment. 
   
   Police Sgt. Graddon told ABC News Chang is still in police custody but Nguyen was fingerprinted and released for medical reasons. 
   
   "We’re still trying to make sense of this whole thing," he said. 
   
   ABC News has been unable to reach the suspects. Police don’t know whether they have lawyers and a court appearance has not been scheduled.
target: – Another strange kidnapping story is in the news, but the good part is that the 2-year-old at the center of it is safe and sound. Beyond that, things get weird—a man babysitting the boy called 911 to report his whereabouts after seeing an Amber Alert. The key developments: The kidnapping: On Tuesday, police say that Alyssa Chang, 46, and Vien Nguyen, 65, kidnapped toddler Ronnie Tran and his mother from their home in Des Moines, Wash. Chang is the girlfriend of the boy's father, and Nguyen is his paternal grandmother, reports ABC News. The babysitter: After the boy's mother was tasered and tied up in a garage (she would eventually escape on her own, the Seattle Times reports), police say Chang brought the boy to her brother's home in Renton and innocently asked him to babysit. The brother, John Truong, tells KOMO-TV that he didn't know anything was amiss until the next morning when he saw the Amber Alert. The surprise: "I'm eating my breakfast, I'm checking my Facebook, all of a sudden I see this Amber Alert for this child," he says. "And it looks like this child in my bed, and I'm like, 'Oh my God! What's going on?'" He called police, who soon tracked down his sister and Nguyen. Both face felony charges. The bottom line: "There’s a lot of family dynamics involved," says a police official. "As far as why, we can only speculate." (A girl missing 11 years returned to the US Wednesday.)
