MURRAY, Utah — A 5-year-old Bountiful boy has been reunited with his mother, two days after an Endangered Missing Advisory was issued when he failed to be returned from a visitation with his biological father.

The boy was originally last seen with his biological father, who lacked custody, on Thursday.

The father had written an email to the mother claiming to take their son "away" to prevent him from having adenoid removal surgery.
