The Los Angeles Police Department said Sunday that two children who disappeared from foster care families were found early Thursday morning.
When the brothers (one 10 years old and a child) disappeared, police said they were considered at risk.
It is believed that the two younger brothers were kidnapped by their biological mother.

Police said Derek Rodriguez-Hernandez, 2, and his brother Jaden Hernandez, left their foster home near West Lake around 1:30 a.m.
They told Ktla that the boy’s adoptive parents heard their house opening and ran outside, but the boys were gone.
LAPD said they were taken away by their biological mother Jackeline Hernandez-Torres. The three of them issued an amber alarm.
On Sunday afternoon, the alarm was cancelled and LAPD officials said the boys had been found and were in good health.
They will soon be reunited with their foster parents, the press release said. No information about the mother was immediately provided.
