AMBER Alert discontinued for 6-month-old girl from Rockwall, parents pending charges

An AMBER Alert issued by the Texas Department of Safety for a 6-month-old girl from Rockwall has been discontinued.

Rockwall Police released a statement a few hours after the AMBER Alert was issued saying the child was located in Missouri.

Missouri Highway Patrol located the vehicle reported in the AMBER Alert at approximately 11 a.m. and found the child unharmed, according to the statement.

In a post on X, police said the child's biological parents had recently lost parental rights to the child.

Both parents have criminal charges pending, Rockwall Police said.

This morning, an Amber alert was issued for a 6-month-old female who was taken from a foster home in Rockwall by her biological parents who had previously lost their parental rights. The child and both parents were located by the Missouri HP just East of Springfield, Missouri.
