Two brothers, an 8-year-old and a 5-year-old, were found alone at a Chuck E. Cheese.

Dallas police are looking for a mother who allegedly abandoned her two little boys at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant on Monday.

At closing time, the restaurant's manager got suspicious and called police after the children spent hours alone.

Anna Perry and her two sons took a bus to get to Chuck E. Cheese. Employees said she walked into the restaurant with her kids around 4 p.m., got her hand stamped, and then left.

Perry's family said the mom has disappeared before, and has been gone for days at a time. However, in previous instances, they said the mom always left the kids with other family members.

"[She is] probably out there spending somebody's money or something," said Anthony Perry, Anna's brother.

Chuck E. Cheese employees said the youngest son was crying while his older brother continually asked for his mother.

"I feel sorry for them," said Tasha Duncan, a mother who brought her daughter to Chuck E Cheese for her birthday. "I really do. I just can't imagine any parent abandoning their child at Chuck E. Cheese."

The two children are in the custody of Child Protective Services and were placed in a foster home.
