Mindy McCready now faces serious legal trouble after missing a judge's deadline to return her 5-year-old son Zander to Florida, but the troubled country singer has given no indication if or when she plans to bring him home.
Authorities are now calling this case a parental abduction. The FBI has released a missing person poster and Lee County, Fla., family court judge James Seals has signed a new order, telling law enforcement nationwide to take Zander into custody upon sight.
McCready responded by saying she's willing to risk jail to protect her son. Watch her latest updates on Youtube.
"I'm a mom first," she told The Associated Press Thursday from Nashville. "No matter what happens, I'm going to protect my kid. If I have to go to jail, so be it."
In an e-mail to AP, McCready wrote, "I'm doing all this to protect Zander, not stay out of trouble. I don't think I should be in trouble for protecting my son in the first place."
McCready could end up pregnant behind bars. The singer told the wire service she cannot travel because she's nearly seven months pregnant with twins. The babies' father is believed to be McCready's music producer boyfriend David Wilson, according to the New York Daily News.
