Minnesota police are concerned about the whereabouts of a mother and her four children who disappeared recently, saying that they could be with the father, who has a restraining order that restricts him from seeing his family.

Last month, Robert Herrington was charged with assault and violating the Domestic Assault No Contact Order that prevents him from seeing his wife and children, according to jail records. He was booked into the Stearns County jail on Aug. 8 after being found in a storage unit with his family and released on Aug. 23.
"Due to a past history of domestic abuse this is not a safe environment for the children to be in," the Stearns County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Wednesday. "Because of these circumstances, Stearns County and the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office are looking to locate the family to assess their current situation and possibly take appropriate action."
