A babysitter who was watching two young children in Atlanta while their mother went to dinner is accused of kidnapping the kids, who were found two days later in a trailer, authorities said.
The mother left her children, girls ages 11 months and 4 years, with Lakesha Brown on Saturday, Aug. 15, at about 6 p.m. When she returned at about 10 p.m., she told police the children and Brown were gone, the Atlanta Police Department said.
The mother contacted police the next day, Aug. 16, after an initial communication from the suspect that she was going to return the children that turned out “not to be factual,” Lt. Christapher Butler said at a news conference.
An Amber Alert was issued for a 2009 white Ford F-350 truck Brown was believed to be traveling in, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said.
