Missing Canton Children Found Safe in Iceland

Two children aged 8 and 9 from Canton, Ohio, missing since October, were found safe in Reykjavik, Iceland, last week. Their disappearance was reported after their mother ceased taking her mental health medication and abandoned her apartment. The U.S. Marshals, alongside multiple law enforcement agencies, traced the children from Denver to the Island of Jersey, and finally to Iceland. Icelandic police located them in a hotel, after which the children were placed in the care of Icelandic social services until they could be reunited with family in the U.S. The mother was hospitalized in Iceland and will remain there until she can return to the U.S. Financial support for the children's repatriation was provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
