A local woman is under arrest, accused of bringing a runaway teen from Idaho to Bakersfield, to meet her teenage son.

45-year-old Lillie Alvarado lives in an east Bakersfield apartment complex.

Police say her 15-year-old son met 14-year-old Jaidyn Bendocchi on X-Box Live, an online gaming system.

They say Alvarado picked up the girl in Coeur d'Alene last Friday night or early Saturday morning and drove to Washington state.

The two then took a train to Bakersfield.

Alvarado's neighbor says her son often complained about noise coming from the Alvarado's apartment.

"He always used to tell me that the boy was up all night playing video games, shooting games and all that, like war games. You could tell, you can hear it, really loud, up all night playing them," said neighbor Mechelle Castaneda.

The girl was found Tuesday.

Alvarado faces felony kidnapping charges. She declined our request for a jailhouse interview.

I can't imagine what an adult woman could be thinking to go all the way to Idaho to get her son's girlfriend without her parents' permission. What else does she do for him? Buy him alcohol?

rvlady, why would the D.A., or the FBI, have to arrest Alvarado? She's already been arrested by the BPD, and is being held here in jail with "no bail". And I agree with TheField regarding using spell checker. Reading your comments really hurts my eyes, trying to decipher what you type.

I'm curious to know what else this kid gets away with if he can talk his mom into going all the way to Idaho to get his girlfriend. And why did she think this was a good idea? I'm wondering if there is more to the story

Hope the Feds hit her hard on this one. She needs to be locked up.

Lisa Green won't have much to do in this case. Kidnapping across state lines is a federal crime. (I would have written "offense" but I wasn't 100% sure of the spelling) I was a terrible speller but started using spell checker, it will do wonders for you. HINT, HINT

Alvarado is a devoted mother. Going all the way to Idaho to kidnap a play toy for her son. Hope she's extradited to Idaho for trial, otherwise the local DA will turn her loose with no more than a slap on the wrist.
