One week after two young children went missing near Cochrane, Alta., the RCMP issued a new plea for help finding the pair whom they believe are with their grandmother and aunt.

“Investigators understand that there are many people who are sympathetic to the custody situation of these children,” police said in a news release issued Friday night. “RCMP are imploring anyone with information to please contact them.”

According to police, five-year-old Leonine O’Driscoll-Zak and two-year-old Wyatt O’Driscoll-Zak were last seen at their grandmother’s rural home near Cochrane at about 9:30 a.m. on Friday, March 12.

The two girls were supposed to be picked up that day by their father, Colin Zak, after he was awarded full custody of his daughters. Zak said that he went to retrieve the children at the home, he arrived to find they were gone.

“Investigators believe they have not left Canada and still believe the children are in the company of their grandmother, Therese O’Driscoll, 68, and their aunt Alison O’Driscoll, 38,” police said. “RCMP believe the O’Driscolls are receiving assistance to avoid apprehension. The RCMP is making a request of anyone who may be assisting the O’Driscolls in hiding the children to contact police.

“Those assisting the O’Driscolls may believe they are acting in the best interests of the children, however, those who assist in the commission of a criminal offence can be charged criminally with aiding and abetting.”

Why would a grandmother & aunt kidnap these beautiful little, innocent girls?

There is no mention of their mother. One can only speculate that there was a custody fight between the mother's family possibly and the father. Further speculation would be the mother may have died, be in jail, not around... Or alternatively she is involved, or not allowed to see them so the pickup when the father won custody was set for the grandmother's home who maybe was their caretaker until then...?

They are likely safe as it seems it is over losing custody... Smh. Don't know what the answer is in these emotionally heated cases.

Hopefully they look as healthy and vibrant as they do in those pics after this.

So the grandmother and aunt who were the ones named and suspected have been charged.

Happy the children were found safe, this one never sounded as if they were likely in danger but more that those who took them cared and were upset with who they were ordered to be with custodially, and who knows, maybe they have valid concerns, not that this helped them. Sad the girls are now with child services but not surprising I guess, for the moment anyhow.
