A representative for the Department of Children and Families told NBC10 Boston early in the search that they were investigating and helping law enforcement find the boys.
The father was available for comment on the situation in the first few days of the search.
The day after the boys left the house, officers checked with a former guardian, a friend of the boys' mother, who said she didn't know where the children were, according to the police report. On Thursday, police received a tip from someone who thought she saw the boys get on a bus at the Mattapan MBTA trolley station. She said she reached out to police when she saw a missing persons poster on social media.
