AMBER Alert issued for two McKinney girls last seen during CPS-supervised visit, police say​

A 60-year-old woman is accused of taking her two granddaughters, and the girls' father is in custody on kidnapping charges after the children were last seen during a Child Protective Services-supervised visit Thursday evening, police said.

The incident prompted an AMBER Alert early Friday.

Jessica Burns, 9, and Jennifer Burns, 6, who are sisters, were last seen in the area of 320 North Central Expressway in McKinney shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday, according to the alert and police.

The two missing girls were last seen at a restaurant at that location, where they were "having a supervised visit with their non-custodial father, along with CPS, who had temporary custody of the girls," a police news release said.

CPS told WFAA that the girls' mother died, but didn't disclosed when she passed.

Jame Burns, 60, who police said is the girls' paternal grandmother, was named as the suspect on the alert. McKinney police said Jame Burns is believed to be driving a 2009 Black Ford Escape with Texas license plate MTC6093.

In a 10:30 a.m. police update Friday, officials said the girls' father, Justin Burns, was believed to be involved in the incident and was arrested and charged with two felony counts of kidnapping. He was in the custody of the Collin County Sheriff's Office on Friday morning.



Officials said Jame Burns has a criminal history; in 2005, she was charged with burglary of a habitation. The case ended in a plea, according to court records.

Todd Shapiro, who is a Collin County attorney, is not connected to this case. But, he has taken on a number of CPS cases. He tells WFAA supervised visits are just part of the path to reunifying the family.

"Whatever family law courts decides is the right plan it usually comes from the plans that CPS puts in place," said Shapiro.

Supervised visits are some of the first steps before reunification in the event the parents have lost custody of the children. CPS would not elaborate on the custodial cases of Jessica and Jennifer Burns. Shapiro says supervised visits will ultimately graduate to unsupervised visits. Supervised visits come with strict parameters set by a judge about when and where to meet. It's unclear if all the parameters were followed on Thursday.

"Somebody was there watching this dinner that had to have vetted or done a background check on grandma and on dad and was okay with them getting together. My question is, how did they turn their back? How did they not see what was going on for enough time to allow grandma to get both girls to get in a vehicle and abduct them?" asked Shapiro.

Thank you for posting this. I got the amber alert on my phone but it had no pics or a description of the girls and not even the city where they were last seen. There was a description of the car and that they believed the grandmother had them. It helps so much to have pictures of the girls so I know at least what I should be looking for when I'm out and about.

Two Missing McKinney Girls Found Safe After Family Urged Grandmother to Bring Them Home

An Amber Alert remains in effect Sunday, making it more than 48 hours since anyone saw 9-year-old Jessica Burns and 6-year-old Jennifer Burns.

According to McKinney Police, they were having a supervised visit with their father, Justin Burns, while in the custody of CPS.

Burns is now sitting behind bars in Collin County on two felony counts of kidnapping after police say he and his mother, Jame Burns, concocted a plan to snatch Jennifer and Jessica.

“I feel like she’ll take her frustrations out on the children,” said the girls’ maternal grandmother Jamie Peacock.

Peacock said she’s been left feeling angry, frustrated and lost as she waits for updates about the whereabouts of her granddaughters from Florida.

“I just worry about what a desperate person will do when it comes to Jame,” she said.

Peacock said she last saw Jennifer, Jessica, and their middle sister, Jordyn, during a visit to Dallas over the summer, and at the time, the girls were already in CPS custody.

She said throughout her visit, they were happy and that Jessica is the spitting image of their late mother.

Well, where's Jordyn?

 

[Guess Who]

Well, where's Jordyn?

possibly not his child? Or was smart enough to not go with her grandmother if she was at the visit?
