Amber Alert issued for sisters abducted by grandmother in McKinney, police say

So Jame is the paternal grandmother. Apparently during CPS supervisored visit with the Dad. So, did Jame swoop into the pizza restaurant? Was the Dad part of this?

 

[JurassicParker]

I woke up to this alert on my phone. I'm glad to see a thread already up for these girls. Hoping for a fast and safe return..

Girls missing from McKinney found, AMBER Alert canceled; family says they are safe

An AMBER Alert for two sisters has been canceled.

www.wfaa.com

A 60-year-old woman is accused of taking her two granddaughters — who were last seen during a Child Protective Services-supervised visit Thursday evening — prompting an AMBER Alert early Friday, police said.

JesB, 9, and JeB, 6, who are sisters, were last seen in the area of 320 North Central Expressway in McKinney shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday, according to the alert and police.

The two missing girls were last seen at a restaurant at that location, where they were "having a supervised visit with their non-custodial father, along with CPS, who had temporary custody of the girls," a police news release said.

[...]

Police did not say the father was involved in the incident, aside from being at the CPS-supervised visit.

Oh no. Two precious littles - allegedly grabbed by Grandma. I'm not understanding how two little girls got whisked away while on a 'supervised' visit with their dad and grandmother. I'm trying to get my head around how this is even possible, unless the CPS person left them and went ... to the bathroom? outside to smoke? to their car for something? Obviously either well planned out between dad and gram or ... spur of the moment surprise opportunity.

The car should be easy to find, maybe it won't take long ... don't like the reference to 'grave danger'. Moo

On supervised visits in public places, the CPS worker will usually stay a distance away from the family, to give them privacy. It's somewhat likely she was doing something on her laptop or phone, and missed them quietly slipping away.

They need to be located, and returned to the temporary custody of CPS, but I think there's every reason to hope the girls will be found well and safe.

 

[Jovi Girl]

I hope these two are located safely.

AMBER Alert issued for two McKinney girls last seen during CPS-supervised visit, police say

LE has arrested the Father, also on kidnapping charges. So, Grandma and the Father must have planned this. Mother of the girls is deceased. I am concerned that all the warnings talk about danger. They have license plate and car model for the Grandmother.

The article also says that the children's mother died, but it doesn't say when. It also says that the father has a has a record from 2005 for burglary of a habitation.
I tried to copy and paste from the article, but for some reason it didn't work.

Amber Alert issued for sisters abducted by grandmother in McKinney; father charged with kidnapping

Police are looking for two sisters, 9-year-old Jessica Burns and 6-year-old Jennifer Burn, who they believe were abducted by their grandmother in McKinney.

www.fox4news.com

[...]

The girls were last seen just before 6 p.m. on Thursday at a Cici’s Pizza Restaurant near Central Expressway and Virginia Parkway in McKinney.

Investigators spent the day checking with area businesses to see if anyone had surveillance video of the girls being taken from restaurant.

Employees at a nearby restaurant said they heard what sounded like an argument in the parking lot but didn't know it involved a kidnapping until police arrived.

The CPS worker called 911, according to police, when the grandmother showed up and took the sisters.

Police said the girls' father, Justin Burns, was at the restaurant when officers responded to the scene.

[...]

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, in September of 2021, Allen police arrested Jame for possession of methamphetamine and child endangerment. The report states she had three grandchildren in the car with her.

Based on Jame’s history, McKinney police the sisters are in grave danger.

Agreed, esp. if CPS was present, they muct have security protocols in place ?
Maybe Jame produced a weapon ?

Eta : Sounds like the cps worker called LE.
So they did the right thing !
But Jame apparently took the girls before the cops arrived.

What a scary job to have for the cps employee .... tensions running high and maybe people who are enraged.
Some of the worst parent feel they still have every right to their children, regardless of their past criminal record, or the present circumstances.

Hope this is wrapped up soon and JesB and JeB are found safe !

Good job, dad, ... now you won't get the girls for a long time.
Maybe that's for the best ?
Imo.

 

[Erutan]

Is this grandmother?? Clearly something going on with her health!!

Hmmm...
Maybe lifestyle choices ?
The reason LE believe the girls to be in danger is due to her earlier meth-related arrest.
M00.
