Fearing a possible suicide, police in Germany and Italy were yesterday searching for a German couple who abandoned three children at a pizza restaurant in northern Italy.

Two boys, aged 10 months and six years, and their four-year-old sister were declared wards of court, and German officials were set to fly the children home from the town of Aosta, where a foster family was caring for them.


The 26-year-old mother and her 24-year-old male companion have not been seen since telling the children Sunday that they were going outside to smoke a cigarette. German officials disclosed that the man had escaped three weeks ago from a German prison.



The biological father of the three children was serving a prison term for the 2006 fatal shaking of his fourth child, a daughter, a prosecution spokesman said in Siegen, Germany. The father was convicted of causing fatal bodily harm to his daughter.
