A South Padre Island mom accused of abducting her own daughter is now out on bond.

Lilian was accused of taking her daughter — who she didn’t have custody of — out of the country in July 2024.

Authorities said Lilian and Rilee were found after attempting to enter Turkey with fake documents. Lilian and Rilee arrived to the Valley International Airport in Harlingen on Sunday, escorted by U.S. Marshals.
