A woman who set off a California Amber Alert after fleeing with her children from a supervised visit at a San Jose park has been arrested in Colorado Springs.

Diana Moreira-Del Rio, 33, was arrested Monday, police said. The children are safe.

Moreira-Del Rio has family in El Paso County.

Moreira-Del Rio was arrested on a kidnapping warrant that was issued Friday after from Emma Prusch Park, where the mother was visiting her 11-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son under the watch of a social worker, according to the San Jose Mercury News.

Police said Moreira-Del Rio left with the baby boy while the social worker was in a restroom with the daughter, and then took the girl when the social worker started looking for the baby.

Moreira-Del Rio is expected to be booked on suspicion of child endangerment among other possible charges.
