A Manhattan mom and dad snatched their eight children, all who are in foster care, during a scheduled visit at a child agency in Queens, authorities said.
Shanel Nadal, 28, took her seven boys and a baby girl from a supervised visit on Monday at 4 p.m. at the Forestdale child agency on 112th Street, near 67th Street in Forest Hills. The agency is a contractor of ACS.
Nadal is believed to have fled with the kids and the children’s father and Nephra Payne, 34, in a black 1996 Chevrolet Suburban license plate with the number #EXZ5896. Police are not sure how she was able to get the kids into the car.
All of the boys are named Nephra Payne, and have different middle names. The girl is 11 months old, and named Nefertiti. The oldest child is 11, according to cops.
The parents live in the Manhattanville housing developments on Amersterdam Avenue, near West 131st Street, and Manhattan Family Court has issued warrants for their arrests.
