The mother of three young Michigan boys who've been missing since last seen with their father on Thanksgiving says she still believes her sons are alive.

Tanya Skelton of Morenci tells WXYZ-TV she wants the boys to know she loves and misses them and wants them back home.

The boys' father is charged with parental kidnapping.

Thirty-nine-year-old John Skelton appeared Tuesday in a Lenawee County magistrate's office by video feed from the county jail.

Magistrate Mindy England ordered him held on $30 million bond.

Nine-year-old Andrew, 7-year-old Alexander and 5-year-old Tanner Skelton were last seen at their father's home in Morenci, about 70 miles southwest of Detroit.
