Hunt for missing teacher and her four children He said: "They must be found. I ask anyone who knows where they are or might have seen them to tell this court or the local police. The authorities were keeping watch on ports and airports and the judge called on the public to help in the search for the 46-year-old mother and her 14-year-old, 12-year-old, nine-year-old and eight-year-old children. The judge said Ms Jones, who is described as slim, about 5ft 7in tall, with wavy blonde hair and brown eyes and who talks with a heavy Welsh accent, had "defied" the court's orders to return the children to her 52-year-old husband in Majorca. The children went missing after another Family Division judge ruled last week that their mother had abducted them from her husband's care in Spain for the second time. A similar incident had occurred in 2009. Mr Justice Hedley ordered that the children should be returned by midnight last Friday, but Ms Jones failed to hand them over to their father. Lawyers for Mr Palacin Cambra said the mother, who teaches English as a foreign language, was thought to be with her partner John Williams. She appeared in court yesterday to argue that the order to return the children should be lifted, but Mr Justice Wood refused. He said he was "concerned that the mother might abscond overnight" and so "with a heavy heart" ordered that the children be immediately removed from the mother's care and briefly placed in the care of the local authority before returning to Spain. But when police arrived at Ms Jones's house to collect the children, they found they had all gone. The judge said: "The mother has once again defied orders of this court. All these children are now missing. The mother removed them from her home in the middle of the night. Her and the children's whereabouts are unknown. I do not know the mother's intentions. I am extremely concerned about the children. They must be found. I ask anyone who knows where they are or might have seen them to tell this court or the local police forced based at Carmarthen police station, where they are. No one wants the children to come to any harm. An older daughter, 16-year-old Sara Maria, has already returned to Spain.
