Haylee Donathan
Haylee Donathan, the missing 4-year-old who was discovered at a San Diego, Calif. Christian ranch on June 23, will be placed in foster care when she returns to Ohio.
After Haylee disappeared with her mother, Candace Watson, 24, and convicted sex offender Robbi Potter, 27, on May 28, a nationwide manhunt ensued. Potter was convicted and served time for two counts of sexual battery on children, ages 7 and 9.
Haylee has been at the Polinsky Children’s Center in San Diego since she was found. The center is a 24-hour facility for the temporary emergency housing of children who must be separated from their families if their parents cannot care for them or for their own safety.
Mary Watson, Haylee’s grandmother, was given temporary emergency custody of the girl on June 19 to facilitate the issuance of an Amber Alert—which ultimately helped find Haylee.
Nevertheless, Haylee will not be living with her grandmother when she returns to Ohio. “She will be placed with a foster family in order for her to be in a safe environment at this time,” said Edith Gilliland, an attorney for Children Services.
Attorneys Charles Lynch and Heather Cockley provided free assistance to Mary Watson so she could obtain emergency custody of Haylee. Cockley said, “This case is sort of in two parts. The first part is the filing of the emergency custody to get the Missing Child Alert. The second part is determining what’s in the best interest of the child now that she’s been found.”
The Lancaster Eagle Gazette reported that two of Mary Watson’s children have been in trouble with the law. Candace Watson faces possible prison time for assisting Potter’s escape from a halfway house and for harboring a fugitive. Her brother Cyle Watson, is serving eight years in prison for a probation violation and has a prior conviction for the rape of a 12-year-old girl.
