The mother of two Colorado children found safe Sunday in Texas, who she does not have custody of, is accused of abducting the pair and violating a protection order, according to law enforcement.
Adams County sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of a parental abduction in the 8600 block of Faraday Street, north of Denver, on Saturday, according to a .
The guardian told deputies that two children — a 13-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl — were taken by their mother, sheriff’s officials said.
Sheriff’s officials said the mother was restrained from contacting her children and was only allowed to have supervised visits. She allegedly told the children’s guardian that she planned to take the pair to Mexico.
Investigators determined that the mother and children were in Texas and issued a statewide Amber Alert.
Police officers in Fredericksburg, Texas, found the children and arrested the mother on suspicion of violating a protection order early Sunday morning, according to the news release.
