ATLANTA - Police said a woman was arrested and charged with taking part in a robbery that involved the abduction of her 14-month-old child. <br>
<br>
Eighteen-year-old Dionna Scott was charged today with robbery and with kidnapping, but not in connection with her daughter's disappearance. Scott turned up at a police precinct yesterday with her daughter one day after masked robbers kidnapped the child and stole a safe. <br>
<br>
Her daughter, Demecia Scott, was unharmed and turned over to the Department of Family and Children's Services. <br>
<br>
Atlanta Police spokesman Sergeant John Quigley said Scott is charged with kidnapping her boyfriend, 41-year-old Willie Parks, for forcing him into the basement of her home at gunpoint. <br>
<br>
Quigley said once there, Parks was burned with a hot iron and beaten until he gave up the safe's combination. <br>
<br>
Quigley said a woman and two masked men took the toddler along with a safe containing at least ten-thousand dollars Tuesday night. Police believe the kidnappers returned Demecia to her mother. <br>
<br>
Quigley said one of the suspects in the robbery, 24-year-old Jonah Lay was arrested today on charges of kidnapping and armed robbery. Two other suspects were being sought. Police identified one as 29-year-old Wanda Wilson, but declined to identify the other one.
