Three children that were taken by their father at American Fork Utah on August 2022 to a community of Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints. The American Folk Police Department worked with the Washington County Sheriff's Office (WCSO) in Utah to find the missing children. The police in Utah received a tip that the missing children were seen in Fredonia Arizona in August 2024. The police in Fredonia worked with the Coconino County Sheriff's Office in Arizona to retrieve the missing children. The police took into custody an aunt and the grandmother of the children in connection with the incident even though it is not known if the children were living with their dad at the time. Due to privacy reasons, not much is known about the information of the children who were returned to their mother recently. Link is kutv.com/news/local/thr...

If the movie was to be made, it would be likely on BYU streaming services.

I feel for the mother but it must be very distressing for the children too.

I am in agreement with you that the mom was very distressed as well as her children being apart for two years.

It seems that the father took the children unlawfully, when the mother probably had custody, and marriage separations like this, can create painful situations when one party acts in their own interest more than in the other party's interest, or the childrens.
