A mother and her sister pleaded guilty to abducting the mother’s 8-year-old daughter from her ex-husband and having her flown to the Dominican Republic to live with relatives. Teresa Daley, 28, pleaded guilty to a felony child-abduction charge in Los Angeles Municipal Court, while her sister, Xiomara Gonzales, 30, of Long Beach, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor child-abduction count. As part of a plea bargain, neither woman will serve any jail time and will be placed on probation, Deputy Dist. Atty. Jeanette Bernstein said. Tiffanie Jean Odell was taken by Daley and Gonzales last September and flown to the Dominican Republic to live with Daley’s parents, Bernstein said. Eleven days later, Daley, apparently feeling pressured by investigators, arranged to have her daughter flown back to the United States to be reunited with her father, who has legal custody.
