Concern is growing over the safety of a mother who fled with her five daughters after learning they may be taken into care.
Natalie Bracht, 35, vanished from her home in Sunderland along with her children aged between five and 13.
Miss Bracht, who suffers from a personality disorder, was told she would almost certainly lose them after medical experts expressed concern for their welfare while in her care.
