Missing children found

Family lawyer Marilyn Stone said missing mother Jennifer Jones has abducted her children and must come forward and apologise for her "emotional" behaviour. She told Daybreak the longer the children are missing, the more serious the case against the mother becomes:

"If we expect children who are abducted from England to be returned by other courts, so we must show that we will return children who have been abducted to the courts of other countries"

The hunt continues around the South Wales and Swansea area.

Lawyers for the father of four siblings, believed to have been "abducted" by their mother, have spoken of their fear she may have gone "underground" with the children.

Earlier, a High Court judge launched a nationwide hunt for Jessica 14, Tomas 12, Eva, nine and David, eight, after they went missing along with their mother Jennifer Jones during a visit to her home in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire.

The children are at the centre of a legal dispute between Ms Jones and her estranged Spanish husband Tomas Palacin Cambra, who the children live with in Majorca.

The lawyers revealed that the children are all bilingual and speak fluent Spanish as well as English with a Welsh accent.

They appealed for the mother to bring the children back and described their father as "devastated" by the turn of events.

"He has not seen the children since they came to Britain at the end of June," a spokeswoman for his legal team said.

The spokeswoman said that the father was aged 52 and worked for the Spanish military, but did not know it what capacity.

"He was waiting for the hand over of the children he has not seen since the end of June and now he is just devastated," she added.

She said the children had all been brought up in Spain and regarded the island as their permanent home.

She added that if the mother and children were not located overnight the father's legal team would be returning to the High Court in London tomorrow.

"We will be back in front of the judge tomorrow at 10.30 looking to see what further orders we can make," she said.

Carmarthenshire County Council has told ITV Wales they are assisting the authorities to help return the four missing children to their father, after a High Court Judge ruled the siblings had been "abducted" by their mother.

High Court Judge Mr Justice Roderic Wood said the missing siblings were "vulnerable".

He explained that last week another High Court judge, Mr Justice Hedley, had decided that the children's mother Jennifer Jones had "abducted" the children from Spain, where they were in the care of their father.

The children's mother Jennifer Jones had been ordered to return the children to Spain by midnight on Friday October 12 but did not do so.

Late on Friday she had been ordered to attend a High Court hearing in London on Monday.

A High Court Judge has said he is "very concerned" about four missing children and has launched a nationwide hunt to find them.

Lawyers said Jessica 14, Tomas 12, Eva, nine and David, eight, lived with their father in Majorca but had been visiting their mum Jennifer Jones in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire.

Mr Justice Roderic Wood said the children were at the centre of a legal dispute between Ms Jones and her estranged Spanish husband Tomas Palacin Cambra.

He added: "I am very concerned about the children. They must be found. I ask anyone who knows where they are or might have seen them to tell this court or the local police."
