DENVER — The Denver Police Department has located two 10-year-old boys hours after they went missing from a treatment center in the city's West Highland neighborhood.
The two boys were last seen just before 3 p.m. Monday at the Tennyson Center for Children, located at 2950 Tennyson Street. The center offers programs and services for "Colorado’s most neglected, abused, and traumatized children," according to its website.
Ieyla Devereaux, an aunt of one of the boys, told Denver7 the center calls Ubers to take children home. According to the Devereaux, the boys allegedly threw something at the Uber vehicle, and the driver left. The two boys then left the area.
