Original story:
Corrections officers are seeking an inmate who fled with her child from a Southern California corrections facility designed for mothers.
In a news release, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said that Christa Ann Marie Ramirez, 28, escaped from the Community Prisoner Mother Program in Pomona with her five-month-old son at 10:30 a.m.
The program is a correctional facility meant to offer substance abuse rehabilitation for non-violent female offenders with young children who are serving relatively short sentences.
Ramirez was admitted to the program in August 2019 on a three-year sentence for second-degree robbery in Los Angeles County, according to the CDCR.
She arrived at the Pomona facility on Jan. 21 and was scheduled to be released on parole in December.
Ramirez is 5-foot-4 and 151 pounds. She has a tattoo of a heart with a keyhole on her upper left arm and another tattoo of an owl on her upper right arm.
Anyone who has information regarding the whereabouts of Ramirez or her son is asked to call 909-841-8521 or 911.
