Assistant Chief Mark Harmon with Cedar Park Police Department says, "She's not forthcoming of any information of his whereabouts, or his safety or well-being."
"I don't know too many parents out there who haven't seen their child since July and don't know the whereabouts of it," Harmon adds.
Colton's father is Brandon Pelfrey. He posted photos of the child, bruised, on his Facebook page.
FOX 7 spoke with Pelfrey's mother by phone. She says she hasn't seen Colton since May 30th and Work was a no-show at a recent meeting with CPS.
