Authored by nbcnews.com

The father of a teenage girl who deputies say was kidnapped on Christmas Day found her using his phone’s parental controls, according to authorities in Texas.

Authorities said the girl’s father tracked her phone using parental controls, which led him to a secluded, partially wooded area in Harris County, roughly two miles from Porter.

Her father located her and her dog inside a maroon-colored pickup truck with a partially nude 23-year-old man, the sheriff’s office said.

The father helped his daughter escape from the truck and contacted law enforcement, the sheriff’s office added.

Authorities did not name the father or his teenage daughter.

He remains in the Montgomery County Jail at this time with no bond, according to authorities.

“Rest assured that your Sheriff’s Office remains vigilant every hour of every day to keep your families safe,” he added. »
