Toronto police are asking for the public's help in determining the whereabouts of two city children.

Elisabeth Doria Barron, 6, and Sebastiano Carmhalo Barron, 2, were last seen on Friday at their family home in the Jane-Finch area.

The children aren't believed to be in any danger, but the parents aren't co-operating with authorities in saying who is holding the children for them.

"The parents asked somebody to take care of them while they were unable to take care of them, and we need to know who is taking care of them and find out where they are," Const. Wendy Drummond, a Toronto Police Service spokesperson, told ctvtoronto.ca on Thursday.

The Children's Aid Society had been involved with the parents, who didn't co-operate with them either. As a result, the police are asking the public to help, she said.

"Police know where the parents are," Drummond said.

The children don't have any pressing medical troubles. There is no worry that they aren't being cared for. "We just need to know who they are in the care of," she said.

Police would like either the person or persons carrying for the children to contact them. Alternatively, police would like to hear from anyone who knows the children's whereabouts, Drummond said.
