Police said Coronado and her husband took the children and vanished. They said their stepfather, Fernando Pelay, is a wanted man.

"He's a suspect in a major child abuse case regarding these children, and he has a no-contact order against them, so he's not supposed to be in contact with these children at all," Cloy said.

Step dad is wanted for serious child abuse against these kids. Why didn't the state require supervised visitation?

Do they believe mom is in danger or that she went willingly?

I hope they are found safe and soon.

The Mississippi Department of Human Service had custody of the children. Cloy said it is his understanding the children were removed from Coronado's custody, but had been returned to her on a trial basis. DHS monitored the home, but the children were actually living in the home with Coronado when they went missing...

Coria-Pelay has apparently been living in Canton since 2008. Cloy said he was unsure how long Coronado had been in Canton. He said the children's biological father is also living in Canton.

Cloy said Canton police have issued kidnapping warrants for Coria-Pelay and Coronado.

He would not say whether investigators believe the family is still in Mississippi. He said the girls were born in the United States, their mother is from Guatemala and the stepfather is from Mexico. He said the location of the children's biological father was not immediately available.

“We want to get him away from the children,” Cloy said of the stepfather...

“Our main concern is finding out where these four children are and they just happen to be four females,” Cloy told Mississippi News Now. “Although we do want the father and mother in custody, we really need to find out where these children are.”
