Abducted Kids Found Safe

IP:

Alright I know people are sick of newspaper articles, but when I read this I was relieved, so ya enjoy.

GALAX, Va. (Jan. 19) - Two young children whose parents allegedly kidnapped them at gunpoint from a foster home in North Carolina were found safe Wednesday in Virginia, police said.

An Amber Alert had been issued Saturday for 2-year-old James Paul Chambers and his sister, Breanna, 11 months. They had been put in foster care last year after a drug raid at the family home.

The children and their parents were found in a mobile home this rural, mountainous area near the North Carolina and Tennessee lines.

"There was no struggle,'' said Sheriff Mark Shook of Watauga County, N.C. "It was very calm.''

The parents, James Lee Canter, 28, and Alisha Chambers, 18, were jailed on two counts each of child abduction, felonious restraint and assault with a gun. Two others at the home, Jeff Brown, 34, and Sharon Woodards, 43, were charged with being accessories after the fact to felony child abduction.

North Carolina authorities said the children were taken from a foster home in Watauga County early Saturday by the couple. Canter brandished a gun, they said.

That day, the couple were seen in Tennessee, but only their car, containing a rifle and a handgun, was found, authorities said.

Canter has been a fugitive since March, when the family's home was raided and authorities said they discovered a methamphetamine lab. Chambers was arrested at the time and charged with manufacturing meth and maintaining a dwelling for its manufacture. She posted bail about two months later.

The Watauga County social services agency took custody of the children after the raid.
