The Wichita Eagle reports a police officer saw the boys, ages 3 and 4, just after 4 p.m. Thursday, with the older boy naked from the waist down.

No adults were at the home at the time, but police Lt. Dan East said a 30-year-old woman arrived later. Preliminary police reports didn’t describe the woman’s relationship with the children.

The boys were checked out at Wesley Medical Center before being taken by police to the Wichita Children’s Home.
