Saving children from filicide

Hi, my name is Dustin Neill, and I’m reaching out regarding an ongoing family crisis we’ve been dealing with for the past 3 months. I haven’t been able to see or talk to my 12-year-old twin boys, Hadrian and Maddox, since 8/20/25. Rebecca Neill, my ex-wife with mental illness, hid them in the Resource and Crisis Center of Galveston County (RCCGC) under false pretenses and has kept them holed up, not even attending a single day of school. Rebecca and I have 50/50 custody, but she has turned her one week of possession into three straight months of parental abduction so far. While staying at the RCCGC with their mother, my boys have been harmed. One was knocked unconscious at the Center and was taken to the ER by ambulance, and then both of them were taken to the ER by ambulance when their mother totaled her car with them in it on the freeway. Both of my boys have been suicidal during this time, according to their therapist (who their mother will only let them see virtually). Their therapist told me the Center has had to remove knives from reach due to my son’s thoughts about harming himself with them. Even though the claims against me by their mother were investigated and found to be false, Rebecca has been allowed to stay at the RCCGC. CPS and law enforcement will not do anything to reunite me with my boys, as they say I just need to take their mother to court. However, any attempts to serve her to come to court have been blocked by the RCCGC's protection for months. I have unsuccessfully tried to serve Rebecca 15 times during this abduction. Yesterday, Judge Angela Lancelin of the 245th Family Court in Houston said that the RCCGC had unlawfully restrained my children and would be ordered to return them to me because their mother is erratic and the children are in imminent danger with her. The RCCGC director then said she doesn't have any knowledge of where my boys are now. I need help finding my boys and getting them back to me. I fear every day for the lives of my children and firmly believe that with Rebecca's mental illness, she might kill my boys and herself if she feels like there's no other way out of this nightmare she's created.
