According to 6abc.com, the two were last seen at the Cumberland Family Shelter on Mays Landing Road in Vineland on Saturday at around 3 p.m., prior to their sighting on Monday.
Since no one else was available, Takashi Hintzen, the boy's mother, said that Johns offered to watch her son while she showered.
Though Hintzen indicated she agreed, she enquired as to Johns' whereabouts. She claimed that Johns indicated she would be in a play area in response.
"As I step outside, I notice no one. "I see nobody, I see Akera," said Hintzen.
Authorities claim that after seeing herself on television, Johns made the decision to give the boy to someone who could get in touch with the boy's family and the police.
