Two young kids who went missing after an assault against their mother were found safe in South Carolina, officials say.
An Amber Alert had been issued for the children, 1-year-old Paradyce Greene and 3-month-old Majesty Greene, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday morning in a Facebook post.
Just before 1 p.m., deputies announced the kids were located, and the suspect was taken into custody.
The sheriff’s department said the children’s father took the kids after assaulting their mom in Simpsonville, roughly 15 miles southeast of downtown Greenville.
The dad, 26-year-old Walter Greene, had “an active order of protection against the mother of his children as well as the two children he took,” the sheriff’s department wrote on Facebook.
Deputies in their original online post released photos of Greene, the children and the SUV. Anyone who saw them was urged to call 911.
