UPDATE: Three Missing Children from Clarington, Ontario Updated to Three Missing Children from Forest, Manitoba - Leon, 12, Christopher, 11 & Thomas, 9 -

Police are asking for help to find three children who were reported missing in Ontario in December, who were last seen at a home in Manitoba and who are now believed to be with their mother.

Mounties got a report around 2 a.m. on Sunday that the children, who had been reported missing in December from Durham, Region , were at the Boissevain port of entry along the U.S. border, south of Boissevain, Man.

Officers found the children unharmed and with their mother, 55-year-old Astrid Schiller. The children were immediately taken into care in a safe environment, and their mother was arrested as a result of a warrant for child abduction from police in Durham, Manitoba RCMP said on Monday.

However, Schiller was later released from custody, as the warrant was not extended into Manitoba, Mounties said.

At 1:25 a.m. Monday, RCMP got a report that the three kids were no longer in care at a home in Forrest, Man., — a community about 13 kilometres north of Brandon, Man. — and were missing again.

Happy Earth Day 🌍

Stop leaving your kids with them.

Stop leaving your children with your boyfriends or girlfriends you barely know.

Stop letting your family members you don't entirely trust watch them because it's free.

If you have a gut feeling about someone that doesn't sit right with you when it comes to your child, cut all ties with this person.

If your little one comes to you and says I don't want to stay with a particular person .... do me a favor and listen to them.

~ Cody Bret
