Three children who were abducted by their mother were dropped off at a Los Angeles Police Department station Wednesday morning, officials said.
Authorities believe Nisshawn Murphy, 39, took her three children after a court ordered her to give up relinquish parental rights to two of her children last month, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said Tuesday.
A friend of Murphy dropped off her children at the LAPD Southeast Division Station on Wednesday about 10:30 a.m., Los Angeles Sheriff's Detective Dang said. Murphy was not there, and authorities are not actively looking for her, he said.
Murphy is expected in court for a custody hearing Wednesday, and officials said they would look for her if she does not appear in court.
The three children, Matisse, 10, Bryan and Treasure, both 4 years old, are in DCFS custody, Dang said.
