Authorities are desperately searching for a pair of adorable siblings who were allegedly abducted by their parents during a supervised visit in California, with social workers fearing they may be a family who may be “living off the grid.”
Wyman, 4, and Willow Bryant, 2, disappeared on August 14 after their parents, Tiffany Bryant, 39, and David James, 53, allegedly abducted them during a supervised visit at the Department of Children and Family Services in Los Angeles, according to ABC 7.
They allegedly took the children out through the emergency exit, leaving their 15-month-old son behind.
The three children had been living with a foster family since last year after the 15-month-old tested positive for drugs at birth.
Social workers are now concerned about the family’s ability to live in remote areas because they are “nomadic.”

“They’re the type of people who can live off the grid, if that makes sense,” San Antonio Search and Rescue Director Nina Glass told ABC 7.
‘They like to be there in the middle of nowhere.
“They live in their car. They don’t really have an address.”
The California Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert for the two boys last week on behalf of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
They are believed to have been traveling in a “brown Buick Enclave sport utility vehicle with no front license plate and blue paper plates on the rear,” according to police.
“There is concern for his welfare,” the Sheriff’s Department said.

Glass said the parents had kidnapped their children before, with the first incident taking place last summer after the birth of their third baby.
It took two months to find the missing children, after which the parents were granted visitation rights, according to ABC 7.
Glass encourages the entire country to keep an eye on young people.
“This is not the kind of search where you can really say, ‘We’re going to go to this location and start searching,'” he told the outlet.
“This is more of a nationwide search where everyone needs to be on the lookout for these people.”
