L.A. County children abducted by parents remain missing two weeks later

Authorities are still searching for a brother and sister who were abducted by their parents earlier this month during a supervised visit in South Los Angeles.

The children — 2-year-old Willow and 4-year-old Wyman — had been in foster care since last year, when their newborn sibling tested positive for drugs, ABC7 reported. According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the children’s parents — Tiffany Bryant, 39, and David James, 53 — fled with Willow and Wyman from a Department of Child Support Services facility.

The parents were driving a brown Buick Enclave SUV with a blue paper license plate in front and a missing license plate at the rear of the vehicle, according to authorities.

The four were last seen around 3:10 p.m. in the 8300 block of Vermont Avenue.

News station ABC 7 reported that James and Bryant left the third child, now 15 months old, at the Department of Child Support Services during their supervised visit. A spokesperson for the agency could not be immediately reached for comment.

The children were taken by their biological mother for nine hours in May — years after they were adopted — according to a claim that could result in a lawsuit against the LAUSD.
