Los Angeles – Authorities in Los Angeles are actively seeking the public’s help in the search for two at-risk children, identified as 11-year-old Juaquin Jr. Vides and 8-year-old Aastha Vides. The siblings were last seen on July 29 at approximately 6 p.m. in South Los Angeles, prompting the California Highway Patrol to activate the Endangered Missing Advisory on behalf of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Juaquin Jr. Vides is described as a boy standing 3 feet 8 inches tall and weighing 49 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a blue T-shirt with yellow stripes. His sister, Aastha Vides, is described as standing 3 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 35 pounds, also with black hair and brown eyes. Aastha was last seen in a green T-shirt adorned with white flowers.
The two children were last seen in the company of a 34-year-old man named Juaquin Vides, who is considered a person of interest in their disappearance. He is described as a 5-foot-5-inch tall man with brown hair and brown eyes, although authorities have not disclosed what he was wearing at the time. The man is believed to be traveling in a green 2012 Mazda with California license plate number 9DRV087.
The relationship between the children and the adult remains unclear, heightening concerns for the safety and wellbeing of Juaquin Jr. and Aastha. Local authorities have made urgent appeals for anyone with information regarding the children’s whereabouts to contact 911 to assist in their recovery efforts.
The activation of the Endangered Missing Advisory indicates the severity of the situation, as it is typically issued when authorities believe that an individual’s life may be in danger or that they are at risk of harm. Parents and guardians are encouraged to be vigilant, and officials stress the importance of community involvement in such cases. The urgency of this advisory highlights the significant risk associated with the ongoing search.
In cases involving missing children, the immediate response from both law enforcement agencies and the community can be critical in successfully locating the individuals involved. The combined efforts of the California Highway Patrol and the Sheriff’s Department illustrates the coordinated response needed to address such alarming situations.
As the search continues, local residents are also reminded to be aware of their surroundings and report any suspicious activity that may relate to the children or the adult of interest. This may not only help in locating Juaquin Jr. and Aastha but can also bolster community safety overall.
Anyone who may have seen the children, the adult in question, or the vehicle described is strongly encouraged to reach out to law enforcement. It is crucial for community members to remain alert and proactive during this precarious time, as their assistance could be a determining factor in ensuring the safe return of Juaquin Jr. and Aastha Vides.
