New Jersey mom charged with obstruction after 'missing' son found hiding in her crawl space

A New Jersey woman was charged with obstruction this week after her missing son was found hiding in a crawl space in her home, authorities confirmed.

After the 17-year-old boy’s father reported that his son wasn’t at his scheduled drop-off on Tuesday evening, his mother, Jennifer Buckley, reportedly told police the boy wasn’t at her house and she couldn’t find him.

She also reportedly said that the boy didn’t want to go to his father’s home and expressed concern that he might be a danger to himself.
