The two boys, identified as 2-year-old Derek Rodriguez-Hernandez and 10-year-old Jaden Hernandez, were taken from their home early morning by their biological mother, 30-year-old Jackeline Hernandez-Torres, and were last seen in the area of W. 52nd Street and Halldale Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department, which requested alert.
Police described Jaden as having black hair and brown eyes, standing 4 feet tall and weighing 50 to 60 lbs. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and black pants. Dereck has red hair and brown eyes and weighs 20 lbs and was wearing a dark T-shirt and dark pants.
The suspect has black hair and brown eyes, standing 5 feet and weighs 120 lbs. She was last wearing light-colored and dark sweatpants.
