BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — On Friday the search for answers regarding the disappearance of two boys in California City continued. Several community members gathered in Bakersfield for a march demanding changes to the child welfare system.

Three-year-old Orson and four-year-old Orrin West reportedly went missing from the home of their adoptive parents in California City nearly two months ago.
