Four children missing since last year were found Tuesday, three of them barricaded with their mom in a safe room at their grandmother’s Arkansas home.

Their mother, Lisa Goodman, lost custody of the kids but refused to turn them over to authorities and reportedly fled the state, according to the Lonoke County Sheriff’s Office.

They were ages 5, 7, 15 and 16 at the time Goodman lost custody, KATV reported. When Tustison answered the door for the deputies, she said she hadn’t seen her daughter or grandkids.

The deputies had a search warrant and inside they found a barricaded safe room with Goodman and three of the children.

“Negotiations were attempted, but Goodman refused to open the door or even acknowledge our presence,” the sheriff’s office said, so they tried a different tactic. “Operators with the LCSO Emergency Response Team successfully rescued the children and took Goodman into custody safely.”

Goodman and Tustison were arrested and face charges including four counts of endangering the welfare of a minor, interference with custody, and obstructing governmental operations, the sheriff’s office said. A man named Zean Tustison was also arrested.

JERSEY CITY, New Jersey (WABC) -- A teenager walked into a restaurant in Jersey City on Wednesday afternoon with a newborn, handed the baby to a customer and then left.The entire incident at the El Patron restaurant was captured on surveillance video. The 14-year-old mother walked up to the counter and claimed she found the infant girl.Restaurant owner Frankie Aguilar said the teen handed the baby to a good Samaritan and ran away.Alease Scott and her boyfriend Walter Cocca were eating lunch when the teen asked for help.Scott didn't hesitate."I said do you mind if I check the baby's vitals, she readily handed the baby over to me so my focus went right onto the baby," Scott said. The teen mother walked out leaving Scott with the newborn girl who still had a portion of the umbilical cord attached. Scott and her boyfriend could tell the baby was having trouble breathing. Police were called and quickly responded with medical gear and oxygen. Fortunately, Scott is trained in CPR and first aid. "Once I applied the oxygen mask to the baby, all of a sudden we heard the most beautiful cry and the baby started moving, she slightly opened up her eyes and then she closed her eyes but the sweetest thing was when she got hungry and she was trying to suckle on the oxygen mask so we knew she was OK after that," Scott said. Police found the teen mother and said both she and the baby are doing well. The child will be put up for adoption, and at this point, the 14-year-old is not facing charges. The family owned business said they were happy the teenage mom decided to go to their restaurant for help. "And hopefully we as a society become better at just helping one another, especially after COVID," Aguilar said.
