The children — an 8-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy, left the complex with the woman with permission at 4:45 p.m. to walk to a fast food restaurant down the street, police said.
Police said the trio arrived at the restaurant at closing time and were turned away.
They were last seen walking north on Santa Fe.
Police released the following details about each person:
Marie Williams, 25, 5 foot 5 and 170 pounds with short brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a turquoise short sleeve shirt, jean capris and dark tennis shoes.
Sarah White, 8, 4 feet and 45 pounds with braided hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a white short sleeve shirt, jeans, and pink/black “Heelys” (tennis shoes with wheels).
Nicholas Sanders, 6, 4 feet and 50 pounds with short hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a green/blue long sleeve button-down shirt, jeans, and black tennis shoes.
Williams has been living at the complex with a counsin for the last two weeks while the family finds her a new group home.
She has been to numerous group homes in the past, but she has wandered away from them.
Williams has her own 1-year-old child, who is in foster care.
White is from the Palmdale area and is in Long Beach with her mother visiting friends who reside at the same complex. Family are worried because she has food allergies and asthma.
Sanders and his family also live at the complex.
The family searched the area unsuccessfully before calling police. There have been numerous sightings of the trio. Williams is not considered dangerous.
“She is under the belief she’s babysitting the kids or playing mommy to the kids,” said White’s mom, Alshanika Franklin.
Anyone who has seen them is asked to call 911.
