"Mimi" Mira Mellersh 5, "Yaany" Yaanis Mellersh 7

After ignoring family court rulings on a number of issues, Elke went into hiding with Yaanis and Mira. She does not have legal custody of the children and the German family courts and police are searching for her and the children. Like us, they are becoming increasingly worried about Elke's situation and the children's safety.

The children speak German as their mother tongue but are good in English. Elke's mother tongue is German, she is fluent in English and French, and speaks some Turkish and Greek.

If you have any information that may help in finding Elke or the
children, please contact the criminal investigation department of the police in Zeven, Germany Tel. +49 4281 93060 email heiko.schnakenberg@polizei.niedersachsen.de


Or Email us at missing@mellersh.net or call +44 2380 812651.

We are the children's grandparents; please
contact us if you know anything at all.

Elke, if you're reading this, please come home with the kids. You  know that frequent moves, secrecy, instability and a lack of stable relationships or friendships are harmful for the kids and stressful for you too. Please come home and let Yaany and Mimi settle back into a happy, stable life with both their mother and their father.
