Child welfare officials are looking into reports that a mother took her five-year-old son with her on a bank robbery with her boyfriend.

Lauri L. Ruble, of Antioch, Lake County, Illinois, and Brandon Stancliff have both been charged with robbing the Wauconda Community Bank in Island Lake on December 29.

According to the FBI, Ruble told them that Stancliff picked up a butcher knife from her kitchen, grabbed a bandana and they set off with her son to rob the bank.

She put the boy in a car seat and they drove to the bank, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
