Amber Alert Issued for Mother Fleeing CPS with her Child

 

NEW BRAUNFELS, TX — The New Braunfels Police Department is looking for information that will help them find missing child to Kiley Marie Diaz. (Keep reading. Mother and daughter were located and are safe.)

She is a white female child, age 8, 3-feet, 5-inches tall, 50 pounds, brown hair, and brown eyes. 

Kiley was last seen at 9:05 p.m. hours Friday night, April 3, in the 500 block of Starling Creek, New Braunfels. She was wearing pink Mickey Mouse pajamas. 

Police are also searching for Kiley's mother, Alyssa Jeanice Lopez, a white female, age 29, 5-feet, 5-inches tall and weighing 125 pounds. Lopez has brown hair and brown eyes. 

She was last seen wearing a black shirt with white writing and black workout shorts. She is wanted in connection with this abduction. The suspect was last heard from in New Braunfels. 

According to the police, the mother of the child, Lopez, 29, had become upset, locked the CPS caseworkers out of the house and left the house with Diaz out the back door.

Officers arrived on location and were told Lopez and Diaz were seen walking through a nearby ditch in the Conrads Lane/Goodwin Lane area before getting into a black, 4-door pickup truck.

It is unknown who was driving the black pickup truck, but the vehicle was last seen heading south on Interstate 35 and was last known to be in the Selma area. The destination for the mother and daughter is unknown, but authorities have reason to believe they could be heading to Pearsall or possibly out of state, either to California or Washington.

Due to the circumstances surrounding this incident and the belief that the child is in immediate danger, an AMBER Alert has been authorized through the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Law enforcement officials believe this child to be in grave or immediate danger. If you have any information regarding this abduction, call the New Braunfels Police Department at 830-221-4100.

Update 6 p.m. - Mother and Daughter Found

The 8-year-old girl, Kiley Diaz, and her mother, 29-year old Alyssa Lopez, were found this afternoon in the town of Garden Ridge, just northeast of San Antonio on I-35, by members of the US Marshals Lone Star Fugitive Task Force and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. 

After speaking with authorities by telephone, the mother surrendered herself and her unharmed daughter peacefully and without further incident.

Lopez was taken into custody on an unrelated warrant for her arrest and booked into the Comal County Jail. 

Police said charges against her in this case are pending. The child is currently in the custody of the Texas Department of Family Services.

"The New Braunfels Police Department greatly appreciates the efforts of the federal law enforcement agencies that assisted in this case, as well as the countless pieces of information provided by members of the public," the New Braunfels Police Department stated.

According to jail records in Comal County, Lopez was booked on a warrant for driving while intoxicated with a BAC greater that 0.15 percent. She was released the same day, Saturday, on a $2,000 bond.

Why is a cps worker coming to someone's house at 9PM? And when did avoiding CPS workers equate to the children at risk of losing life and limb? HHS should be defunded this is ridiculous

Have you ever noticed that upon looking a bit further into some of these ''Amber Alert'' incidents, that a majority of them are runaway juvenile delinquents or parents in various situations involving custody battles?

We'll be warned that the child may be in ''grave or immediate danger", yet never told exactly why.

Regarding CPS, they have absolutely no police powers, they're an investigative agency. They're essentially the equivalent of a nosey, annoying neighbor with a toy badge, and like a nosey, annoying neighbor, you can tell them to get the f--k off of your property.

Keep in mind, most of these people have no experience in anything but manipulation. They'll push themselves on you as far as your ignorance of the law lets them: entering your home, requesting drug tests etc..

If you have no emaciated, battered children to hide, you shouldn't feel intimidated by these folks -- even more so if CPS is harassing your family under false pretenses. By law, they're ''required to follow up'' on all reports, no matter the severity of the allegations, and (oddly) irrespective of the source of the report.

Push back, or refuse any of their ''services" and they'll resort to threats of "court orders", which will be presented to you as something they could procure as easily as candy on Halloween. Call their bluff, make this bloated agency of bureaucratic assholes EARN their paychecks.

CPS works within time guidelines and regulations to make their cases, anything beyond the prescribed time frames of recommended "supervision" or unreasonable heavy handed tactics, could (and should be) considered harassment. At this point you may want to seek a court order of your own.
