UPDATE:
The Amber Alert has been lifted for a missing 8-year-old boy in Marathon County .
The County Sheriff’s Department said Jaiden Hunt, who went missing Saturday, is safe, and his father Jaime C Hunt was taken into custody.
Ryan Hillman, the department’s 9-11 supervisor, said Jamie Hunt was arrested at a residence nearby where he lives and Jaiden was being safely returned to his mother.
Natasha Clark, a former library assistant who knew the boy, said she received the Amber alert and was worried. She said Jaiden was a “sweet boy” and the kidnapping concerned her.
"It reminds me to hold your little ones closer at night and really just be attentive,” said Clark. “Watch what you're doing. I don't know exactly how he was taken, but it's scary and it makes you think, 'what if this happened to me?' “
Hillman said someone alerted them to Jaime Hunt’s location.
He was taken into custody without incident.
