A mother and her two children were found
safe in Kansas Friday after authorities issued a statewide endangered
missing child alert.



The Union County sheriff’s office and the FBI were looking for
4-year-old Bradley Christopher Mathis (boy) and a 2-year-old Hunter
Chloe Lewis (girl). Initially, the sheriff’s office said deputies said
they thought the children were with 27-year-old Gail Beldon, their
biological mother.

Officials believed the children may have been in danger because
Beldon has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and it was suspected
that she had not been taking her medication.

Shortly before 5 p.m., the Union County Sheriff’s Office said the
children and Beldon were found in Kansas safe. Authorities said Beldon
heard that they were being sought and stopped at a gas station to call
officials.

Authorities said a police officer was at the gas station, verified
the identity of Beldon and the children and that they were there by
choice. Essentially, officials said, Beldon, who has full custody of
her children, took them on a vacation and didn’t notify anyone.

Beldon has threatened suicide previously and has previously said she
will hide the children so they cannot be found, according to the
sheriff’s office.

The three were seen last leaving the American Inn at 10220 U.S.
Route 42 in Marysville at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday, where Beldon lives
with Hunter’s father, Jeffrey Lewis.

Lewis went to check on his family at the motel after they had
dropped him off at work at Monarch Pizza, but they were gone. Lewis
then notified authorities
