A later police communiqué announced that the family had been located in Slovakia with assistance from the Border Guard. Police stated that the family was safe and there was no danger to their life or health.

Unofficial reports from the news outlet ‘Fakt’ claim that domestic violence had led to the parents losing custody rights, resulting in the children being placed in foster care. Journalists reported a planned intervention on Monday that was described as a parental abduction.
