UPDATE: Police Seeking Two in Child Abductions From Forestdale

Update: 10:43 p.m., A source familiar with the investigation said the eight children have been living separately in various foster care homes and they all gathered at Forestdale for a scheduled visit with the mother at the time she allegedly abducted them.

Michael Fagan, a spokesman with the city's Administration for Children's Services said in a statement Tuesday night that "ACS and our foster care agency began working with the NYPD immediately after the mother absconded with the children from a visit at the foster care agency yesterday."

"Earlier today, we sought and received active warrants from the Manhattan Family Court for the arrest of both parents and for them to produce the children to the Court," Fagan said. "We ask for the public’s assistance in locating the children, and appreciate any assistance that they can provide the NYPD.”

It was not immediately clear if the visit was supervised or why Nadal's children had been placed in foster care.

Police in Forest Hills are asking for the public’s help in locating two suspects wanted in connection with the abduction of eight children from Forestdale Child Services in Forest Hills.

According to police, Shanel Nadal, 28, of Manhattan, was visiting her eight children at Forestdale on Monday at roughly 4 p.m. During the visit, which had been approved by the agency, Nadal took all eight children—who range in age from 11 months old to 11 years old—off the Forestdale premises without permission and has not been seen or heard from since.

A spokesman for the city's Administration for Children's Services did not return calls for comment.

Police are on the lookout for Nadal and her husband, Nephra Payne, 34, also of Manhattan.

The family may be travelling in a 1996 Chevy Suburban with New York plates, number EXZ5896.
