WOODSTOCK, Ga. — Woodstock police, in collaboration with federal, state, and other local law enforcement agencies, assisted in locating two missing children.
Officers ensured the children were properly entered into the national database as missing and endangered and notified all appropriate agencies.
On April 11, the children were last seen in Douglasville, where they were believed to be in the care of their mother and grandparents.
Police said the mother, Haley Nelson, failed to comply with a court order, so they issued a warrant for her on April 17 on charges of interstate interference with child custody.
