'I cannot breathe without my children': Chilling text message foretold abduction of EIGHT children (seven boys called Nephra and a girl named Nefertiti) from foster care

The New York mother on the run after snatching her eight children from foster care may have revealed her plan in a text message the day before.

Lower Manhattan resident Shanel Nadal, 28, was on an supervised visit with her children on Monday when she snatched her seven boys - all of whom are named Nephra - and daughter Nefertiti.
Amieka Smith, who cares for two of Nadal's kids, told the New York Daily News that she received a disturbing text from her before they vanished.

'I cannot live without my children. I cannot breathe without my children,' Nadal wrote.
The children, aged between 11 months and 11 years old, had been taken away from Nadal and their father Nephra Payne, 34, after a domestic abuse incident, and were placed in three separate foster homes.
Cops said he Mr Payne may have had a hand in the abduction.

Ms Smith said Nadel was desperate to be with her children, and felt her 'back was against the wall.'

She told the News: 'She isn't a monster. She just loves her kids. I cannot say I'm surprised she tried.'

The snatch happened at the Forestdale Child Agency in Forest Hills, Queens, where the children, were sneaked out into a black vehicle and driven away at high speed.
'Everybody is shocked, nobody expected this,' one of the children’s foster parents said today.
Police are not sure of the vehicle's model but think it could be a 1996 Chevrolet Suburban, a 2003 Ford Sedan or a 1993 Infiniti.

A search of the area around their parent's home has so far been fruitless and neighbours say they had not seen the family.

People involved with the children since they were taken into care have expressed their concern at the abduction.
Corey King, 31, whose sister Linda Mitchell has fostered five of the boys, told the News that he and his sister were devastated.
'These kids were taken away from their parents for domestic abuse,' he said. 'We are worried for their safety. We are afraid they might get hurt.'
The children have lived with him and his sister in their Queens home for three years.
'They came to us with emotional scars, but they are good kids,' he said. 'They just need a good home. They are used to us now.'
A spokesman for the city's Administration for Children's Services unit said the agency is working with the New York Police Department on the case but would not go into further detail.

Police: Mother abducts 8 kids from foster care‎

A mother abducted her eight biological children from a New York foster care agency during an authorized visit, authorities announced Tuesday.

Shanel Nadal, 28, fled with her seven sons and one daughter from the Queens facility on Monday afternoon, police said.

The abducted boys are all apparently named after their biological father, Nephra Payne, 34.

They are Nephra Payne, 11; Nephra Ceo Payne, 10; Nephra John Payne, 9; Nephra Shalee Payne, 6; Nephra Rahsul Payne, 6; Nephra Umeek Payne, 5; and Nephra Yahmen Payne, 4.
The lone girl was identified as Nefertiti Payne, 11 months.

The New York Police Department said Nadal may be traveling with the children's biological father in a black 1996 Chevrolet Suburban with license plate number EXZ5896.

Despite the one-day lag between the abduction and the announcement, New York City's Administration for Children's Services assured the public it had been investigating the incident since it occurred.

"ACS and our foster care agency began working with the NYPD immediately after the mother absconded with the children from a visit at the foster care agency yesterday," the ACS said in a statement.

The statement made no mention of how Nadal escaped or why the children had been placed in foster care.

Mom abducts 8 kids from foster care, believe headed to SC

‎Police have alerted South Carolina authorities that a Manhattan woman who snatched her children from foster care may be headed that way, and the FBI has joined the search for the family.

Shanel Nadal, 28, of Manhattanville, was visiting with her children inside the Forestdale Child Agency in Forest Hills, Queens, at about 4 p.m. Monday when she took them and left with them in her vehicle, a black 1996 Chevrolet Suburban with license plate EXZ5896.

FBI joins search for mom in abduction of 8 kids

Police are continuing to search for Shanel Nadal, the 28-year-old mother who allegedly abducted her eight children from a Queens foster care facility during a visit. Now the FBI has joined the investigation.

The children range in age from 11 months to 11 years old.
The three foster mothers who cared for the eight children in three separate homes are just as baffled as the police are in the search for Nadal.

"She didn't lead on that there was any problem - that's why it's so shocking. It's devastating that this really occurred," foster mother Barbara Emanual told CBS station WCBS.

The Payne siblings, seven brothers named Nephra and one sister named Nefertiti, spent the last several years living in foster care until Monday.

Nadal lost custody following allegations of abuse by the children's biological father, 34-year-old Nephra Payne.

According to police, the children's biological mother snuck them out of the Forestdale Child Agency in Forest Hills during what was supposed to be a supervised group visit.

Eight Children Kidnapped By Parents Are Still Missing‎


Photographs of the Payne children (NYPD)

The FBI is now involved in the search for the seven brothers and one sister who were abducted by their parents during a supervised visit at a Queens children's agency earlier this week. The children, ages 11 months to 11 years, had been split up between three homes, and their mother Shanel Nadal allegedly texted one of the foster mothers, "I cannot live without my children. I cannot breathe without my children."

Police think that Nadal and boyfriend Nephra Payne took the children in a black Chevy Suburban on Monday. The seven boys are named after Payne— Nephra Payne, age 11; Nephra Ceo Payne, 10; Nephra Shalee Payn, 6; Nephra Umeek Payne, 5; Nephra Yahmen Payne, 4; Nephra John Payne, 9; and Nephra Rahsul Payne, 6—and the girl is 11-month-old Nefertiti Payne. According to the NY Times, "City officials had removed the children from their parents’ custody in 2009 because of accusations that Mr. Payne had abused his sons, and that Ms. Nadal had neglected them, according to two people with knowledge of their case who were not authorized to speak publicly. The children were divided among two foster homes, and then a third, when Nefertiti was born last September."

The EIGHT children abducted by their parents from foster care are found safe and 'in good condition' by NYPD
The siblings were snatched from a foster care facility in Queens, New York, and found in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

The eight children kidnapped from foster care by their biological parents have been found by NYPD’s regional fugitive task force.
Shanel Nadal, 28, and Nephra Payne, 34, have been taken into custody by police, while their children have been placed with the Harrisburg Administration for Children’s Services in Pennsylvania.
The children, who were taken during a supervised visit last week, were found safe and ‘in good condition’ in Harrisburg, police said in a statement.

The seven sons aged between four and 11, all called Nephra, and the 11-month-old daughter, Neferiti, were originally placed in a foster care facility in Queens, New York, following allegations of abuse.

The New York mother is believed to have revealed her plan in a text message the day before the abduction.
