LOS ANGELES – Two weeks ago, their parents may have abducted the two missing siblings, aged two and four, from South Los Angeles. Now, the siblings have been located.

A few days after Wyman Bryant and his younger sister Willow vanished on August 14, the California Highway Patrol released an Amber Alert.
Authorities confirmed on Friday that they had found the siblings and taken down the Amber Alert. Eyewitness News was also informed by the Sheriff’s Department that the parents of the children have been placed under arrest.
Not immediately known were any other specifics regarding the children’s location or method of discovery.
The children were allegedly taken by Tiffany Bryant, 39, and David James, 53, during a DCFS visit that was under supervision in South Los Angeles.
According to Nina Glass, the director of a charitable organisation in Texas that assisted with the hunt, Bryant and James left their 15-month-old child behind and took Wyman and Willow through an emergency escape.
Due to the baby’s positive birth drug test, the kids have been living with a foster family since last year.
According to Glass, the couple had brought their kids out twice. When their third child was born last summer, there was an initial incident; they were located after two months. After that, they were reportedly given visitation privileges once more.
It was thought by the authorities that they had been driving a champagne-coloured Buick Enclave SUV that had paper plates on it.
