MASON COUNTY, Mich. -- The Mason County Sheriff's Office is searching for a missing 2-year-old girl who they believe has been kidnapped by her father.

The department said on Facebook that Hailey Hunter-Rose Fargo had "unsupervised parenting time" with her biological father, Mark Alan Saporita-Fargo, 47, on Monday.  She is in foster care in Muskegon, the department said.

Officials say they were notified after 4 p.m. that Saporita-Fargo did not return Hailey to foster care.  According to the sheriff's department, he is currently out on bond for a criminal sexual conduct charge and is scheduled for a jury trial on Tuesday.
