UNION COUNTY, Ohio—Authorities have issued a statewide endangered missing child alert for a boy and girl who likely are in danger.

NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS Friday.

Beldon has been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has not been taking her medication, authorities said.

Beldon has threatened suicide previously and has said she will hide the children so they cannot be found, according to the sheriff’s office.

Beldon is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. She has red hair and green eyes. She was seen last wearing a white tank top, a gray T-shirt that says, “A good day fishing is better than a day at work,“ green camo-capris and gray tennis shoes.

Bradley is 3 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 39 pounds. He has blond or strawberry blond hair and blue eyes. He was last seen wearing a Thomas the Tank Engine shirt and brown camo shirts.

Hunter is 2 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 38 pounds. She has blond hair and blue eyes. She was seen last wearing a pink fairy princess tank top and pink shorts.

Both children were seen last in Union County at midnight Thursday, July 23.

Beldon could be driving a silver Chevy Malibu and could be headed towards Pennsylvania.

Anyone with information on the children or mother’s whereabouts should call 937-645-4100 or 911 immediately.

She lives at the motel with Hunter’s father, Jeffrey Lewis.

Lewis went to check on his family at the motel after they had dropped him off at work at Monarch Pizza.

They were gone, he said.

Beldon could be driving a silver Chevy Malibu and could be headed towards Pennsylvania.

The sheriff’s office said Beldon doesn’t own that model, though.

Lewis said the sheriff’s office told him not to talk to NBC 4.

He spent much of Friday alone, outside the motel, waiting and wondering.
