TAOS, N.M. –  The Latest on 11 children found living in a 
filthy, makeshift compound in New Mexico (all times local):

1:45 p.m.

The grandfather of children found at a New Mexico compound says 
he was able to report their whereabouts to authorities after his 
daughter sent a note from the location asking for food.

Siraj Wahhaj, who leads a New York City mosque, says 11 children 
found at the compound Friday were either his biological 
grandchildren or members of his family through marriage.

His grown children are among the five adults arrested on child 
abuse charges following a raid at the site.

He said Thursday that his daughter sent the note for food to a 
man in Atlanta, and that man notified him. Wahhaj says he then 
informed police.

The Taos County sheriff has said the message stating people were 
starving helped him seek a warrant to enter the compound in 
search of the missing boy.

Wahhaj says the boy is his grandson, and his remains were found 
Monday at the compound.

11:30 p.m.

The grandfather of a missing Georgia boy says the remains of the 
child were found buried at a desert compound in New Mexico.

Abdul-ghani Wahhaj (ahb-DOOL' GAH'-nee wah-HAJ') was found 
Monday — on what would have been his fourth birthday — after he 
went missing in December in Jonesboro, Georgia, near Atlanta.

The boy's grandfather, Siraj Wahhaj, leads a New York City 
mosque and told reporters Thursday that he learned from other 
family members that the boy's body was buried at the New Mexico 
compound after he died.

Authorities say the boy's father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj (see-DAHJ' 
IBN wah-HAJ'), had told his wife he wanted to perform an 
exorcism on the child and later said he was taking the child to 
a park and didn't return.

The search for the boy led authorities to the New Mexico 
compound last week.

Imam Wahhaj says "whoever is responsible ... should be held 
accountable."

12 p.m.

Sheriff's officials expect to learn Thursday from medical 
examiners the identity of child's remains found at the site of a 
New Mexico compound that authorities raided last week in search 
of a missing boy.

A search Monday led authorities to discover the remains of an 
unidentified young boy at the compound in Amalia, where three 
days earlier the local sheriff said 11 hungry children were 
found living in filth.

The remains were sent to the state Office of the Medical 
Investigator to be identified. An OMI spokeswoman and a 
sheriff's spokesman said they expected the identification by 
Thursday.

Authorities say the missing boy, Abdul-ghani Wahhaj, was taken 
from Jonesboro, Georgia, by his father in December.

Five adults, including the father of the missing boy, were 
arrested after an initial search at the compound Friday.
