Thank you for this. I'm at work and wanted to do a thread for them but I don't have much time. I received this alert at 9:18 pm last night but was half asleep when my phone went off. I hope the father changes his mind soon and brings the children back home. It sucks when kids get dragged in to the middle of parent issues.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV/KSAT) - An Amber Alert was issued out of Texas for three children believed to be with their father, who is wanted on outstanding warrants from Mooresville, N.C.

Deputies in Texas say Jonathan Wright is wanted on several warrants, including child sex charges, out of Mooresville.

According to the Medina County Sheriff’s Office, Wright is on foot with his three kids - Jonathan, 11; Luca, 9; and Ariana, 8.

They were last seen west of San Antonio, Texas.

Dogs, helicopters and drones and all been used in the search to try and find Wright and the children.

Investigators say Wright’s wife and two older children are safe and are cooperating.

Law enforcement plans to be back in the area this morning continuing their search.

“My understanding, his kids think their dad hung the moon. Well, he needs to step up and let them be in a safe place while he goes and fights his own battle,” Medina County Sheriff Randy Brown said.

WBTV has reached out to officials in mooresville to learn more about the charges involving Wright.

Mooresville police seeking help in locating man wanted in connection with child *advertiser censored* investigation

The Mooresville Police Department is searching for a man they said is wanted in connection with the distribution of online child *advertiser censored*. Jonathon Alexander Wright was initially arrested on Nov. 3 for three counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and was released from the Iredell County Detention Center after posting a $100,000 bond.

Now, the MPD said in a news release, they have filed six additional counts of third-degree sexual exploitation of a minor and were unable to locate Wright at his residence.

Authorities said a search warrant was served on Nov. 3 at Wright’s West Statesville Avenue residence as part of an ongoing investigation into the distribution of online *advertiser censored*. Based on evidence located during the search warrant, detectives obtained the additional warrants.


Wright’s wife, Christal Ann Wright, was also arrested during the service of the search warrant and charged with possession of marijuana and resist, obstruct and delay. She received a $2,500 secured bond, which she posted and was released from custody.


Mooresville Police request that if you have any information on the location of Jonathon Alexander Wright, contact the Mooresville Police Department at 704-664-3311 or Detective Garron Lawing at 704-420-1104.

Given these arrests, I don't think either parent should have had access to the kids, but JW certainly shouldn't have been allowed near them.

 

[borndem]

Agree, @azure -- Sounds like their little lives so far have been rocky. Has CPS (or whatever it's called in Texas) been involved in this family at any time? Are the kids "safe" with father in a house or motel room somewhere? Are they already being exploited?
Time is of the essence, as they say, for these sweet children.
This scares me.

Dunno if Mooresville, NC, will become important in this case but here's some info about Mooresville. It's about 10 miles from Charlotte, NC:

Mooresville is a large town located in the southwestern section of Iredell County, North Carolina, United States, and is a part of the fast-growing Charlotte Metro area. The population was 32,711 at the 2010 United States Census. Wikipedia

NC man with active warrants for sex crimes against kids is focus of Texas Amber Alert

MEDINA COUNTY, TX (WLOS) — Authorities say a North Carolina man wanted for sex crimes against minors is wanted in Texas in connection with an active Amber Alert with three of his five children.

The Medina County Sheriff’s Office says Jonathan Wright was traveling with his wife and five children when their car broke down. The family took off on foot, deciding to live off the land. Wright’s wife and his two older children were seen walking to a store in Rio Medina, Brown said. That’s when a deputy stopped them and found out the family was on the run.

The wife then told police Wright has multiple warrants out of Mooresville, North Carolina for sex crimes against minors.

I hope he doesn't hurt them and it doesn't sound like that's his intent.
Why did he leave with the kids? Were he and the mother in a custody dispute?

 

[whitelilac]

If the family took off on foot, were the wife and two older kids separated by escaping the dad, or just separated because she needed something at the store?
Wondering why she'd tell police her husband had arrest warrants if she was complicit.
