Two amber alerts were issued earlier this week when 9-year-old Kingston Perry and his 18-month-old sister Karina went missing. Their father has since been charged.
The Montgomery County Police Department announced the disappearance on Twitter but notified netizens later that the missing person's alert had been canceled.
In a tweet shared on Tuesday, the Police Department confirmed that a suspect had been charged with a 'Domestic-related stabbing that resulted in the initial amber alerts.
As reported by MYMCP News, both children are unharmed and in protective custody at the Prince George's County Police Department. Read more on Twitter @amomama_usa.
According to the amber alert, the children were taken by their 35-year-old biological father, Dwight Reylando Perry who was last seen driving a blue Toyota Corolla.
Dwight had stabbed his girlfriend - the children's mother - who was later rushed to hospital 'with non-life-threatening injuries.' Authorities were concerned about Kingston and Karina's safety.
WTOP reported that Dwight had pulled into a firehouse in Upper Marlboro and turned himself in when the Amber Alert made headlines.
The children were unharmed and Dwight had dropped Karina off at a day-care facility. Kingston was later located in the care of other family members.
Dwight was charged, and authorities will interview him in connection with his girlfriend's stabbing. The incident shook the community and netizens expressed their concerns on Twitter.
Sean Johnson prayed that the children are found while Madeline Dolente spotted the car, followed it and alerted the authorities, she claimed.
A user known only as Jefferson wanted to know if the father was a legal guardian, while Lora Crouse also sent 'prayers for a peaceful resolution' and the safe return of Kingston and Karina.
Authorities are still investigating the events leading up to the stabbing but confirmed that the children were safe and 'found in good condition.'
