My mother removed our children from our lives under false accusations and declarations

Shane (Edmonton )

Primarily, she removed our two children from their registered school in millwoods, and registered them into a Sturgeon county school, without us even being notified. Nor did she consult with either of us. She claimed she had legal guardianship, which is NOT even remotely the case. And easily proven. 2 years later filled with many heartbreak moments, and they still are being withheld from our care. The question is this, would that be considered kidnapping? My mother, along with the children's mother and I had a parenting order in place, that did not grant her any guardianship privileges... (she had somehow snuck in a guardianship order that was pending for close to a year after this fact)
If so, would that allow for us to pursue some avenue of recourse to allow for our children to be returned to us? My son is experiencing major deperession and won't even talk with us anymore, and our daughter is terrified of my mother.
