Updated: Boise police locate children safe after previous concern for their safety

Boise police located two children that they previously believed to potentially be in danger.

Officers were looking for two children, ages 1 and 3, who were last seen with their mother, identified by police only as Destiny, and the 1-year-old’s father, named Lucio, according to a news release from the Boise Police Department.

An “incident” around 11 a.m. Monday in a parking lot near the 5000 block of West Overland Road prompted concern from police.

“Following an incident reported at that location, police are concerned for the health and safety of the children and believe they may be in danger,” police said in a news release Wednesday morning.

However, a short time later police announced they had conducted a welfare check and there were “no immediate concerns for (the children’s) safety.”
