Missing Jackson Co Teen Found

A 14-year-old Jackson County girl who police say left a St. Louis hospital with her non-custodial father has been found safe at a hospital in Milwaukee.

Doctors were concerned about the medical condition of Brittany Jones of Elkville, who underwent a kidney transplant at Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center in St. Louis in 2010. She was back in the hospital with complications when she was reportedly removed by her father on Sunday.

Brittany was in the custody of the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services at the time of her hospitalization. A doctor at Cardinal Glennon was worried that the teen was not receiving medication, prompting a widespread search.
