Roughly an hour after police asked for help, they reported the children had been found and reunited with their parents.
Police later said they had been staying with a family friend in the Miamisburg area.
“This appears to have been a miscommunication between the parents and the friend,” a spokesperson for Dayton Police said.
Police will not be investigating any criminal acts in this case, but have referred the incident to the Children Service Bureau, which is normal protocol for cases involving minors.
