Missing mother and her ‘at risk’ sons found safe and well

Missing woman Samantha Baldwin and her two sons, who had been missing for over a week, have been located safe and well.

Missing mother Samantha Baldwin (42) was last spotted on Monday 27 March, and was said to pose a "significant risk" to her nine and six-year-old sons, Dylan and Louis Madge. The Nottingham mum disappeared from Nottingham city centre with her two children on the same day a court ordered they should be removed from her care. Today, Nottinghamshire police released a statement saying all three persons had been located,

"Police have located Samantha Baldwin, 40, Dylan Madge, six, and Louis Madge, nine. They are now with officers and are safe. Thank you for your support in this matter."

A fundraising page for Ms Baldwin's "fight for justice" was closed down on Monday. The JustGiving page raised over £2,000 in a single day. A 62 and 36-year-old woman, who were both arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender have now been released on bail.
