Children Abducted, Father Points At Their Grandfather
posted (July 22, 2013)
Tonight, a family from Cow Pen Village in Stann Creek continues to worry about 2 of their children who went missing last week. It hasn't been reported by the Police Press Office as yet, but 7News understands that 9 year-old Fanny Romero, and her little brother 8 year-old Jairo went missing on Wednesday.

Our colleagues from KREM News spoke to the children's father, Felix Romero, who told them that the children went to watch television at a neighbor's house while their mother was cooking breakfast for them.

They went over to that neighbor's house, but they never returned home, and all the information reaching the family is that they were possibly abducted and taken to an estranged family member.

He's the children's grandfather, Juan Jovel, a Honduran Laborer, who was deported from the US, and according to Felix Romero, he fears that Jovel may take the children abroad.

As a result, he has reported this information to police, who are looking out for Juan Jovel as well as the children.

Felix Romero is hoping that if members of the public have any information, that they contact him or the nearest police department. He can be reached at telephone number 624-4051. His last information was that the children were spotted the Pomona Valley.
