Mother finds missing children on Facebook

A US woman whose two children were reported missing 15 years ago has tracked them down using Facebook.

The children’s father, Faustino Utrera, took off with them in 1995 when they were aged two and three, said deputy district attorney Kurt Rowley.

The mother, from southern California, found her daughter’s Facebook profile after searching for her name on the social networking site in March, Rowley said.
