Aiken Pubic Safety investigators are looking for a woman who is suspected of kidnapping her two children.

Investigators say Veronica Kirby of Aiken is wanted on two counts of transporting a child under 16 years of age out of state, against court order.

Mrs. Kirby is traveling with her two children, Trinity Michelle Kirby and Isaac Hunter Kirby.

Mrs. Kirby has made statements to family and friends she intends to leave the county with her children.

Investigators say they are concerned for the children's welfare.

The kid's dad, Edward Kirby, told NBC Augusta he was surprised by Veronica -- and hope she doesn't hurt his kids.

"I worry about my children every day," he said. "Now more because they're not here."

Mrs. Kirby was last seen driving a 2005 Kia Sedona silver in color with South Carolina license plates 640 WMB.

If you have any information on this case, call the Aiken Department of Public Safety at (803) 642-7687.
