I don't think they are in Europe. I'm just saying that the fact that no one knows where the kids are is not evidence of a crime. "Prestigous music school in Europe" is legally equivalent to "secure bunker in Montana." I'm not aware of any law that says kids must be made available to grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, or even other siblings.
As for the Ws custody petition, does Idaho have the jurisdiction to award custody? The only Idaho nexus we have is school enrollment for a couple of weeks. That may be enough but it is arguable.
Here’s the issue: IF Lori is collecting Social Security funds on behalf of either child, then yes, she should legally have to show the state that the said child is under her care.
If no Social Security is involved, then I feel like there’s a stronger case for ignoring court orders to produce the children.
And, as others here have said, in other cases where CPS seems to have dropped the ball on missing children who are later found to be deceased, people have screamed “why was no one looking for the kids??”
