Superior Court Judge Stephanie George scheduled a preliminary hearing for Aiton on June 11 in the Harbor Justice Center.
Aiton lost custody of her daughter in March and the girl was placed in protective custody and sent to live with foster parents, according to a news release from the Orange County District Attorney's office.
Prosecutors contend that Aiton abducted her daughter and drove away in her black Jeep Grand Cherokee during a supervised visit Friday at The Cheesecake Factory at Fashion Island in Newport Beach.
The girl's foster father called Newport Beach Police about 10 minutes later when he realized Aiton did not return from a trip to the restroom, prompting an Amber Alert, prosecutors said.
Aiton was arrested by Los Angeles police on Saturday when a witness called 911 after seeing the Grand Cherokee traveling south on I-405 at Imperial Highway. The 4-year-old girl was recovered safely.
Deputy District Attorney Jim Bacin said his office also obtained a protective order barring Aiton from contacting her daughter.

Considering the huge number of children being stolen by CPS due to false allegations, I'm surprised more parents aren't stealing their kids back.
Maybe if more parent's start rebelling and taking their kids back, our Government will finally do something to stop the CPS Gestapo tactics destroying innocent families. It's one thing if the child is really being abused, but to steal non-abused, non-neglected children for their own financial gain is BULL! As for this mother, she was more than likely railroaded just like 99% of all the other parent's who were falsely accused. Our children are NOT For Sale!

I don't know what the real story was that caused the government to kidnap this woman's child. It looks like the consensus is that she did dope. Not that consensus has any value or truth.

But the pompous judgmentalism in these comments is sickening.

Especially the comments about the MUG SHOT. Does anybody know what people go through before a MUG SHOT is taken? Do you think the cops even gave her a tissue to wipe the tears between sobs? Have you ever seen a MUG SHOT of somebody looking "gorgeous"? A MUG SHOT is a picture of a person at possibly the worst moment in their entire life.

And, oh the smugness about a stupid MOTHER taking back her kidnapped child!

It doesn't matter how smart or stupid a MOTHER is, there is the MOTHER'S INSTINCT to protect her young. If you do not understand MATERNAL INSTINCT, please spend some time watching "Animal Planet". A lot of these "maternal units" will fight to the DEATH to protect their young. Not very smart, eh?

When I see the sort of comments made on newspaper stories like this, I am aghast and terrified at the utter ignorance of American Due Process.

As I said, I don't know any of the particulars of this story.

But the tenor of the comments are truly scary- Whatever the bureaucracy says is gospel, and people are ready to do a lynching.

Most of you would have gotten along fine in Germany in the 1930's.

OK, so Angela is not too bright and attempted to steal her own child back. The social worker must be a Mensa member too. I would love to see their photo posted. The social worker's only task was to protect the baby and they failed. Fire their a$$. Angela has some problems and perhaps a little time in the cooler will help her find the path back to reality. It is sad that the children are always the ones who suffer the most. The child services dolt needs to find a different job. Our tax dollars support these losers.

It's really disgusting to see how superficial, judgmental and mean people can be. You know who you are: You're the real criminals. Maybe you should all take a look at your DMV photos before you criticize someone who was arrested and is facing charges and had to spend hours in a cold cell after being searched and subjected to ill-treatment by the police, before her picture was taken. And what does her looks matter anyway? As to meth. well aren't we being a little judgmental here? Seriously some of you people are obviously the kind of ghouls who slow down traffic to gawk at a car accident in the hopes of seeing blood and gore. No wonder this country is backwards, and no wonder the "System" hasn't changed yet and will, because of the apparent ignorance of so many Americans, continue to take on more victims like this woman and her child. Try a giving someone a break, or show a little sympathy, or at least acknowledge that under the Constitution all citizens are innocent until found guilty. To those who gawk and sneer, you'd better hope you're not the next person to be judged.
