OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Authorities say two young boys whose mother allegedly threatened to drive a vehicle with the children in it into a lake have been found safe.

The Logan County Sheriff's Office issued an Amber Alert Tuesday for 7-year-old Evan Nelson and 4-year-old Dillon Nelson, who were last seen by their grandmother. The sheriff's office says their mother, Jessica Evans, took them and had openly made threats to drive her vehicle into Lake Overholser in west Oklahoma City with the boys in it.

Authorities say the children were found safe, but didn't immediately release any details.

They say Evans had been treated last week for a medication overdose.

I posted the original alert but can't find it.

I hope they keep these kids away from their delusional mother as she may actually kill them if she takes off with them again. So glad they are safe as it sounded like another Susan Smith tragedy about to happen.

Investigators said that when officers came to the boys' grandmother's house in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, they were gone, allegedly taken by their mother, Jessica Evans.

According to investigators, Evans said she would drive the boys into Lake Overholser before she let them see their father. But Officers found the boys safe in Fairview.

"This is about two little boys that need to be taken care of, that need a stable environment," Nelson said.

Nelson said he has tried to get DHS to intervene with his wife and sons, but he hasn't been happy with the results. He said he thinks Tuesday's Amber Alert will make a difference.

"I'm glad to see something will finally get resolved," Nelson said.

Nelson said he wants his sons to know he's there for them.

"Evan and Dillon, you are always in my heart," he said. "I can't wait to wrestle with you again."

KOCO reported Tuesday night that both parents had protective orders against each other. Nelson said Evans has made death threats against family members in the past.

The father is certainly glad that now something will be done. It must be awful to know your children are in danger and be unable to stop it. Reminds me of the Powell boys and the danger they were obviously in, yet the judge allowed him to murder his own sons by allowing him to see them.

At least this has a better ending. ?For now.
