On one of the twitter feeds it said the child was found in Tredyfrin Twp. That's 10-15 min driving distance from the mall. I am so glad the child was found!
@AMBERAlert on Twitter has just posted that the Amber Alert has been cancelled.
Good news forthcoming, hopefully!!!
9:36pm just got my amber alert. Wanted to note that. Not acceptable.
A suburban Philadelphia woman charged with kidnapping a newborn from a shopping mall told police she had given birth in February to a child who died within hours, and that she just wanted to hold a baby again.
Police said they were not immediately sure if Cherie Amoore, 32, had actually been pregnant or given birth recently. But her family thought she was pregnant, she was thrown a baby shower, and she was named on several baby registries for gifts including a $62 silver frame engraved with a boy's name.
"I didn't go there to steal a baby," Amoore told police after her arrest, according to court papers filed Friday. "I just wanted my baby. It felt like I was holding my son again. It felt so good."

Online store registries for Amoore sought gifts for a baby shower set for Dec. 19. At least some of the items had been purchased. Messages left with Amoore's family were not returned on Friday.
She told police she gave birth on Feb. 11, but said the birth did not take place in a hospital, according to Upper Merion Sgt. Jay Johnson. Detectives were trying to determine if that is true.
Cherie Amoore, who is accused of abducting a 7-week-old baby from the King of Prussia Mall last week, was released from jail Wednesday after posting bail.
6ABC confirmed that Amoore is the daughter of Republican Party of Pennsylvania Deputy Chairman Renee Amoore, who is also a panelist on the network's show, "Inside Story."
Amoore reportedly told investigators she had given birth to a boy in February, but the baby only lived for a few hours and she never told anyone he died.
Amoores attorney, Marc Steinberg, did not challenge the kidnapping charge and would not confirm or deny her claims to investigators that she had been pregnant and lost a baby days after his birth, but he described his clients state of mind as confused, emotional and upset.
I dont know why I did it. I cant explain it, Amoore told police, according to the criminal complaint. I held him and all those feelings rushed back. I just wanted my baby. It felt like I was holding my son again. It felt so good. I didnt want to lose that feeling. I was crazy. I never intended to do anything like this.
According to judicial docket records, Amoores next scheduled court appearance will be at a pre-trial hearing in Common Pleas Court Feb. 6.
If convicted of kidnapping, she could face up to 20 years behind bars.
