A DOOMSDAY-OBSESSED Utah mother has been ARRESTED after allegedly KIDNAPPING her four young children, dragging them across the globe, and COLD-HEARTEDLY DUMPING them in a Croatian orphanage—exposing a SHOCKING international child abandonment crisis that authorities are scrambling to contain.
Elleshia Seymour, 35, didn’t just violate a custody order—she allegedly executed a CHILLING, premeditated escape plan, fueled by APOCALYPTIC delusions. Prosecutors reveal she boarded a one-way flight to Europe, ABANDONED her unlocked home and car, and left behind a notebook with a sinister to-do list: “shred paperwork,” “destroy identifying photos,” and “throw away phone.” This was a MOTHER plotting to ERASE her own children’s identities.
In a bone-chilling voicemail to the children’s desperate father, Seymour reportedly claimed she was fleeing because the “END TIMES” were coming—a message from God promised Italy by Christmas. Instead, she allegedly FORGED passport documents and vanished, leaving the fathers in AGONIZING uncertainty for days. Her final act? Deserting the children in a foreign state facility, where they remain TRAPPED in bureaucratic limbo.
This is MORE than a kidnapping—it’s a HARROWING glimpse into the radical fringe of doomsday belief systems, where American children become pawns in a parent’s psychotic break. The system FAILED to stop her, and now an international legal NIGHTMARE unfolds, with a FIFTH unidentified American child also caught in the web. The cost isn’t just financial—it’s the permanent PSYCHOLOGICAL SCARS on four innocent kids who were taken from their fathers and discarded like trash.
As their father fights a Kafkaesque battle against foreign red tape, one terrifying question haunts this case: How many other “believers” are waiting for a sign to SNATCH their kids and disappear? The line between faith and madness has been ERASED, and our children are paying the price.
