Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Abduction
my wife left the country for good(having total custody of our children) and our children were under state supervision for a DUI that happened over 1 yr ago (my wife drove under the influence with the children in the car). At the time of the DUI the children were removed from home but she gained custody back after 6 months. She was on probation when she decided to leave the country(obviously for her DUI). I am OK with her leaving the country and do not wish to file charges against her nor do I want the kids to come back because they are safe where they are. But the safe children coalition are pressuring me threatening with imprisonment for not knowing or telling where they are. I know they are OK and not in danger and they seem happy. I know she�s capable of providing for them. Can they put me in jail for not knowing or telling? Aren�t they violating my human rights? what can I do??
I am cited for a court hearing where they�ll review my kids case�and last time I had one (december) I was threatened with imprisonment. I support my wife�s decision 100% and also understand that fleeing the country is a serious matter but having my children removed from the home again was not an option. please help
