CANADA • Alexander WATKINS, 9 - Christopher WATKINS, 7 ~ Toronto ON

Desperate man searches for missing sons
January 28, 2011
NEWMARKET, ON - The home video reveals two boisterous boys, playing, laughing and brushing their teeth. It is so "normal," there is no hint at what's to come.
Alexander, 9, and Christopher, 7, are now the focus of an international search.
It started in March 2009, with a phone call. Stephen Watkins says, "I got a call from the school and they said 'Your kids are not here.'" He knew instantly what had gone wrong, with eerie determination he had prepared for this day. He thought the boys' mother had spirited them away.
Stephen and his ex-wife, Edyta Ustaszewski Watkins, had gone through a tough divorce and custody battle. In the end, Stephen was awarded full custody with Edyta getting the boys on some weekends.
But there were clues things would go sideways. Edyta would take the boys to Polish lessons, refused to disclose her home address, and Stephen alleges she made direct threats that she was going to take the kids.

Father of missing boys says he's been living a nightmare

TORONTO — For nearly two years, Stephen Watkins' life has been on hold.
Since March 6, 2009, he has been frantically searching for his two missing sons.
"The last 23 months have been my worst nightmare," he says. "Their whereabouts plague me every minute of every day."
Police believe the two boys -- Alexander, then 7, and Christopher, 4 -- were abducted to Europe by their non-custodial mother Edyta Watkins.
Stephen Watkins says he's been in agony ever since.
"Are they being cared for? What's happening in their lives? Do they know that I'm still looking for them?" the 39-year old father from Newmarket, Ont., said Tuesday.
"I'm fighting desperately."
York Regional Police allege Edyta Watkins' father, Thaddeus Ustaszewski, drove her and her sons across the border into the United States.
The 37-year-old woman and her sons boarded a plane from Rochester to Detroit and then to Frankfurt, Germany, said Det. Const. Jesse Mann.
Police believe she could be in Poland, her country of origin, but say she could be anywhere in Europe.
A Canada-wide arrest warrant for abduction has been issued for her, and her name appears on the RCMP's most wanted list.
Watkins says he's puzzled how his ex-wife could leave the country with the kids. He says her passport was cancelled after she failed to pay child support.
U.S. customs officers validate all passports to see if they're legitimate, said U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson Joanne Ferreira.
But prior to June 1, 2009, a Canadian citizen could cross the U.S. border on land using just a driver's licence and a birth certificate.
Edyta Watkins also could have been using a different passport, said Ferreira.
Ustaszewski is before the courts, accused of assisting with the alleged abduction, and there are Interpol alerts in place to notify police agencies around the world about the missing boys.
