Two children who disappeared from their foster home in the early hours of Thursday morning have been found, the Los Angeles Police Department said Sunday.
When the brothers — a 10-year-old and a toddler — vanished, police said they were believed to be in imminent danger.

Derek Rodriguez-Hernandez, 2, and older brother Jaden Hernandez left their foster home in the Westlake neighborhood about 1:30 a.m., police said.
The boys’ foster parents heard the door of their house opening and ran outside, they told KTLA, but the boys were already gone.
The LAPD said they’d been taken by their biological mother, Jackeline Hernandez-Torres. An Amber Alert was issued for the trio.
On Sunday afternoon, the alert was canceled, and LAPD officials said the boys had been found and were in good health.
They will soon be reunited with their foster parents, the news release said. No information was immediately provided about their mother.
