DURHAM, N.C. — A mother is relieved her 10-year-old twin boys are back home safely Friday morning.

Isaiah and Issac Mangum were last seen Thursday afternoon at their home in the South Square Townhomes neighborhood in the 3300 block of Shannon Road.

After the boys got home from school, they told family they were going to go get something to eat, possibly with a friend from the neighborhood. They didn't come home Thursday night.

Sheila Price, the boys' mom, found them Friday morning -- on the school bus with their friend, about to go to school.

Price told WRAL News the boys spent the night with a friend she doesn't know well but said it was odd her sons didn't call her to check in.

Price said she "loves her boys to death." She said remained calm but did not sleep last night after calling the police.

"They're real friendly kids and they don't meet any strangers, that's the issue," Price said.

Price pulled her boys off the school bus Friday morning and plans to hold them tightly all day.

WRAL reporter Brett Knese was there when the boys were located and said the look on Price's face was "pure joy" when she saw her twins.
