But when officials with Child Protective Services and officers tried to pick up the children, they learned Berrentine had fled with all four of them in a vehicle, police said.
One of the four children was found Friday at a home in Midland, but the other three are still missing, authorities said.
Manistee police have received reports that Berrentine is suffering from drug withdrawal and hallucinations. They also said she has been driving erratically.
She is believed to be driving a silver 2008 Chevrolet Malibu with a damaged rear passenger door and no license plate, police said.
