A 12-year-old girl weary of doing chores set fire to her sleeping mother's bed and took off in the family car to fake the abduction of herself and her two younger siblings, authorities said.
"Apparently the mom had given her a lot of duties", Miami County Sheriff Ken Roland said.
Authorities began looking for the girl, her brother, 8, and sister, 6, early Monday after their mother called 911. The 29-year-old woman said she had awakened with her bed on fire and her children and car missing.
When first contacted by cell phone, the girl told officers she and her siblings had been kidnapped and forced to drive south while the abductor followed in another vehicle.
She was being held in a juvenile detention center.
