2-year-old child removed from Yucaipa family home after their infant son reported missing
Briefly

Emmanuel Haro, a 7-month-old in Yucaipa, was reported missing after his mother, Rebecca Haro, says she was attacked and knocked unconscious while changing his diaper outside her vehicle; when she regained consciousness Emmanuel was gone. Authorities seized the family's vehicle and collected electronic devices while repeatedly questioning Rebecca and her husband, Jake Haro. Riverside County removed a 2-year-old child from the Haro home; officials declined to comment due to confidentiality laws. Investigators reported an unconfirmed Bakersfield sighting that yielded no leads and said they cannot rule out foul play. The boy's father previously had a 2023 child endangerment conviction; his attorney denies involvement.
Rebecca Haro said she was attacked and knocked unconscious while changing her son's diaper outside her vehicle in front of a sporting goods story in Yucaipa on Thursday evening. When she woke up, Emmanuel was gone, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. Since then, she and her husband, Jake Haro, have been repeatedly questioned by authorities. They turned over all their electronic devices and their vehicle was seized by investigators on the same day the boy was reported missing, according to authorities.
The mystery of a missing 7-month-old boy in Yucaipa took another twist when authorities confirmed Wednesday that they removed a 2-year-old child from the home of the same couple that reported the infant missing last week. It's unclear what prompted officials with child protective services to remove the 2-year-old. A spokesperson for Riverside County declined to comment, citing state confidentiality laws.
