PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police say two young children who were missing in North Philadelphia have been found safe on Tuesday.

On May 18, around 10 a.m., police say 2-month-old Zy'ree Alexander and 10-year-old Zahiyyah Alexander were both removed from their legal guardian at a home on the 2800 block of W. Allegheny Ave. by their mother.

Police say the 30-year-old mother, Shynisha Alexander, then left her children with a relative on the 2700 block of N. Darrien St.

On Monday, Alexander allegedly removed her children from that location, and their whereabouts were unknown.
