An endangered 7-week-old boy and his parents, who live in West Mifflin, were last noticed this week in Washington County before they disappeared.

Meanwhile, warrants were obtained overnight for arrests of the parents, Daemon Klingensmith, 23, and Jeannette Funnen, 32, on charges of endangering the welfare of children and obstruction, online court records show.
It was widely reported Friday that the couple disappeared from a Pittsburgh hospital with the baby, Ambrose Klingensmith, while they were under investigation for child abuse.
