AMBER ALERT: TWO TEXAS CHILDREN (UPDATE)

I would like to thank Elisabeth for the following update:

The police are looking for two boys who they believed were taken from a foster home by their mother.

Eli Sullivan, 16, and his brother William, 12, were reported missing by Child Protective Services Friday morning. CPS officials believe their mother, Lelah Jeanne Sullivan, had kidnapped them and was trying to flee the state.

The boys were reported missing from Forney, which is located east of Dallas.

Lelah Sullivan is described as a white female, around 5-foot-6-inches tall, with brown eyes and brown hair.

The RV they were traveling in was found abandoned in Garland.

Police think they are now traveling in a 2006 Silver Jeep Liberty with Texas license plate 065 XJB.

Emmett - I wish I could publish some pictures, but I can't find any at this time. Last weekend there were three Amber Alerts issued. Fotunately, all the chidren were found safe. We then went all week without any alerts. Now, the weekend is here and here they come again. I pray this is the only one this weekend.

the one good thing in this bad situation is they are older boys with a female...rare for a female to murder teen boys..it is probably about sex. I hope they are returned home safe and sound soon.

They were taken from a foster home and the alert says authorities think they may be in grave danger. Pictures of the boys: http://www.news8austin.com/content/top_stories/default.asp?ArID=195085
