Sources confirm to YWN that two children of the Teller family that recently escaped from the cult in Guatemala were spending Shabbos in the Catskills, when the incident occured.
Our sources tell us that on Shabbos morning, a 14 year-old girl and a 12-year-old boy were discovered missing.
Police were called, and an investigation is underway.
It has been confirmed that the two children were seen entering a vehicle on Friday night (early Shabbos morning) at around 3:32AM.
The family had been spending Shabbos with professional therapists in the Catskills, along with other previous Lev Tahor escapees.
The missing girl was kidnapped several weeks ago as well, but was later found and reunited with her mother.
As YWN has been reporting, the Teller children arrived in the United States last month, following an intense international effort to rescue them from the Cult, currently located in Guatemala.
The children are the 4 daughters and 2 sons of Mrs Sara Feige Teller, a sister of current Lev Tahor leader, Nachman Helbrans. She is married to Rabbi Aron Aryeh Teller, rosh yeshivah of Lev Tahor.

Two Escapees From Lev Tahor KIDNAPPED in the Catskills ON SHABBOS | Yeshiva World News
Lev Tahor, initially based in Canada, practices an extreme
form of Orthodox Judaism. Its members fled to Guatemala claiming
persecution by Canadian authorities that accused the sect of child abuse
and neglect. The group shuns technology and its female members wear black robes
from head to toe, leaving only their faces exposed. It also rejects the
State of Israel, saying the Jewish nation can only be restored by God,
not humankind.

Frankly I think the eldest daughter the 14 year old Yante should be allowed to return to Guatemala. Why? Because this is the 2nd time in less than two months since she was "rescued" that she has tried to return to Lev Tahor and her husband! Sounds like she wants to be a child bride to me especially since she's gone so far as to accuse her mother of abuse in court and demand emancipation. She's not going to stay in New York with her mother unless she's locked up indoors 24/7 under constant surveillance like a prisoner. Let's see how long it takes her to run away again. How many times are the authorities supposed to launch an international search to find her and drag her back to her mother in the United States?
