Authorities are actively seeking information on three children reported abducted from a bus stop in Virginia. The kids—6-year-old Ja’Liyah Lewis, 8-year-old Ja’Miyah Lewis, and 10-year-old Jai’Marcus Lewis—were last seen around 7:40 a.m. Thursday outside the Bobby’s Way apartment complex in Fishersville. They may be traveling in a black, newer model Nissan Sentra.
The investigation has identified the likely abductor as the children’s “estranged” biological mother, 35-year-old Shanice Chante Davison, who is reportedly heading to Alabama, her residence. The Augusta County Sheriff’s Office has issued an Amber Alert, emphasizing the urgent need to reunify the children with their legal guardians.
Details regarding the circumstances of the abduction are still under investigation, including the identity of the person who made the initial report to law enforcement. The sheriff’s office has made clear that the children’s safety is their utmost priority and that they are collaborating with law enforcement agencies across state lines to locate them.
Descriptions of the missing children have been released: Ja’Liyah and Ja’Miyah were last seen wearing pink jackets, while Jai’Marcus was in a black and dark blue jacket with neon zippers. Davison is described as 5 feet 6 inches tall, weighing 185 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact local law enforcement immediately and to avoid approaching the suspect. This situation highlights the importance of community vigilance in ensuring the safety of children during such critical times.
A summary of the situation indicates that the authorities are working diligently to resolve a concerning case of alleged kidnapping. By issuing the Amber Alert and coordinating across state lines, they underscore their commitment to the well-being of the children involved. This proactive response could inspire hope for a safe return.
