A boy was handcuffed and driven 1,700 miles to Missouri after he filed for a restraining order against his mother, prosecutors say.
Sandoval now works at another boarding school — the Lighthouse Christian Academy in Piedmont, Mo. — and owns a company that transports teens to boarding schools, according to the Star. A message left with that academy was not immediately returned.
John Schultz, a lawyer for Agapé, said Gaviola’s son was at the school for seven days. School officials were unaware of the California protective order the boy had against his mother, he said. As soon as Agapé officials learned of the order, “discussions were had with the boy’s father to have him picked up,” Schultz said in an email.In 2020, Gaviola’s son was living with another family in Fresno County, Calif., according to the indictment.
On August 2021, Gaviola found out where her son would be and gave the transport personnel fake court documents to coerce the teen into going with them, the indictment states. They found Gaviola’s son at his place of work, “took hold” of him, handcuffed him and told him to get into their rental car, prosecutors say. They also allegedly took his phone and showed the fake documents to an adult he was living with.
The boy was “restrained” for the 27-hour drive to the Missouri boarding school, prosecutors say. As he was being driven across the country, law enforcement officials contacted Sandoval, telling him about the restraining order the boy had against his mom, according to court records. But Sandoval and Gaviola did not call off the boy’s transportation to the boarding school, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors did not identify the people accused of transporting the teen from California to Missouri. Schultz, the boarding school’s attorney, said the facility “does not own, control or operate any transport service, [nor] does Agape sponsor or endorse any transport service.”
