Rainn’s mother had legal custody of Rainn and the 3-year-old until Sunday. Children services could have retained temporary custody, but being with family is best where possible, Schaffner said.
It is unclear if the mother also had legal custody of the 4-year-old.
Richard and Dora Peterson were cleared of any negligence with regard to Rainn’s disappearance, Schaffner said.
The child’s mother, Brandi Peterson, 24, and her husband, Nicholas Martin, 32, of Cleveland, will be allowed to have supervised visits with Rainn and her brother.
It is unclear if Martin is the father of any of the children.
Brandi Peterson has lived on and off with Richard and Dora Peterson, and her mother in Southington. She also has lived in the Cleveland area, where she pleaded guilty to misdemeanor attempted drug possession in August 2014, according to Cuyahoga County court records.
She and Martin have been named in several Trumbull County police reports in recent years relating to domestic violence between them.
Martin was convicted of aggravated menacing involving Brandi Peterson in 2013, and two other police reports contain allegations of Martin’s making threats to Brandi Peterson and others.
Deputies also were called to Quinn’s Market in North Bloomfield on June 23, 2015, by Brandi Peterson’s mother, Tammy Ogletree of Southington, who reported that Brandi had left Richard and Dora Peterson’s house on Route 45 and texted several people indicating she was going to harm herself.
