AGT’s children’s magicians the Rocketts arrested for hiding from their mother

The Rocketts, a magical duo of kids who rose to prominence on reality TV on “America’s Got Talent,” have been arrested for making themselves disappear.

Brother and sister Kadan and Brooklyn Rockett – who wowed Simon Cowell in the 2016 AGT semi-finals – were arrested last week in Farmerville, La., For refusing to go with the police trying to return them to their mother, TMZ reported.

A Missouri judge ordered the heated transfer in the ongoing custody battle with their father. Kadan, 15, and Brooklyn, 13, have reportedly been living with their father in California for years.

Local law enforcement sources told the outlet they had documents authorizing the transfer of the children, which stemmed from a 2019 court order issued by a Missouri judge.

In video footage of the tense confrontation around a kitchen table, the teens claim they are afraid of their mother – but a policeman sternly tells them, “You have no choice, there is nothing.” to complain. You must accompany us. Let’s go. “

When the “AGT” magicians refuse to bow, PRESTO! The cop immediately begins to read their rights to them.

“I ask you to go – or you will be arrested.” When they don’t immediately respond, the officer shakes Kadan by the arm and slaps his handcuffs as Brooklyn sobs and wipes away tears. Their father, Bart Rockett, can be heard saying, “I love you guys.”

The Rocketts’ mother and father divorced in 2010, and the custody battle has apparently raged since. There was a similar incident with the children and the Missouri police in October 2019.

Kadan and Brooklyn, who were in Louisiana for their grandmother’s funeral at the time of the arrest, were held at the Green Oaks Detention Center in Monroe overnight.

A family court judge sealed the cases – but the kids are back with their pops for now.

“My” babies “are FREE and SECURE !!!! I’m not allowed to post court details at this time due to a gag order, but I can tell you they are free and safe !!! (and very, very, very happy and hungry right now !!!!), ”Bart posted on Facebook, with a photo taken at the detention center. “Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the prayers and support !!!! We can never say thank you enough. I have tears in my eyes trying to type this. It seems that this long nightmare is just over.

Kadan then replied on his own FB page, “I’m going to write a book someday. Maybe even make a lifetime movie. “
