"Winnipeg police are helping U.S. authorities search for a mother and child being sought after in an alleged child abduction case.

Police said the two, Elmedina Velic, 30, and her daughter Ayla Velic, 6, had been living in Clinton Township, Mich., and came to Winnipeg earlier this year.

Police believe they may be in Ontario now.

“What we know from U.S. authorities, it was sometime in January when she was believed to have left with her daughter and wasn’t coming back,” said Winnipeg police’s Const. Rob Carver, who said police here were notified that she could be in Winnipeg, but it isn’t clear how long she may have been here or for what purpose.

Carver said Elmedina was originally from Canada and is believed to have friends and family in Winnipeg. The Winnipeg Police Service has been given authority under a Hague Convention application to apprehend the child. Carver said her other parent is in the U.S"

I wish they knew what part of Ontario? We are a large Province.

"Ayla was taken from their home in Clinton Township, Mich., without permission from her father and needs to be returned, Const. Rob Carver said Friday morning.

"What we know from U.S. authorities is that it was sometime in January when [Elmedina Velic] was believed to have left with her daughter," Carver said at a news conference where he released photos of the mother and child."

"Ayla must be returned to the U.S. under an international treaty governing child abductions, Carver said."
"We're notified that she could be in Winnipeg as part of the U.S. authorities looking for her," he said.

"Elmedina is originally a Canadian and there is, I believe, family and friends here."

Elmedina Velic, 30, is about five feet, six inches, and 160 pounds. She was last known to be driving a 2016 red Nissan Versa with the Michigan licence plate DUE 2506.

Mother and child travelled to Winnipeg earlier this year but might be in Ontario now, Carver said.

Anyone who has information about where they are should call the Winnipeg missing persons unit at 204-986-6250 or visit missingkids.ca or call 1-866-543-8477."

This situation the - "no evidence to suggest there is a concern for Ayla’s safety" has been on my mind since I came across this post last night ... I understand "Ayla must be returned to the U.S. under an international treaty governing child abductions" and that The Winnipeg Police received authorization under a Hague Convention Application to apprehend Ayla Velic yet I sturggle with who is exercising their authority. Denis Velic [Father] is quoted "It's frustrating, it's very frustrating. I'm on the phone all the time, talking to people here, trying to get some state help," I can't help but to wonder what the states involvement was before Mother and Daughter crossed the border into Canada. The statement by Const. Rob Carver that Ayla was taken "without permission from her father" set off a whole row of ringing bells for me. It is reported that parents share joint custody and joint custody is generally about agreements, not permission - the suggestion that there is no concern for this 6 year olds safety, sounds uninformed to me.

Just my opinion ... still looking for parental abduction reports from Clinton Township Michigan

Found safe. The mother was arrested.

Ayla Velic, 6, and her 30-year-old mother, Elmedina Velic, were found Saturday in a private home in the area of Scott Street and Bayview Avenue, Ottawa Police Service said.
