A mother is pleading to have her son back home after his father took him and disappeared Saturday.

Miami-Dade police are looking for JoJo Morales, who was believed to have been taken by his father Jorge Gabriel Morales, who lives in southwest Miami-Dade. JoJo has autism.

“Every time I close my eyes I see him and I just want him running toward me and to hug me and I’m afraid, I’m terrified, I’m really broken,” Yanet Leal Concepcion, JoJo’s mother, said.

Concepcion left Morales three years ago and has been in a difficult custody battle since.

Morales does have some parental rights, but only during the day. JoJo’s grandmother helps with the pass-off.

But when Concepcion went to pick JoJo up Saturday evening, there was no sign of JoJo or Morales.

“We were all trying to call him, WhatsApp, everything from all sources, all phones, and they’re gone,” she said. “Their car was nowhere to be found either.”

On Monday, a judge granted an order saying Morales must return JoJo to his mother immediately and police are actively searching for him.

“I just wish that he would know that we’re looking for him, that we’re not resting,” Concepcion said. “I’m not eating, I’m not sleeping, I’m not doing anything until I have my baby back.”

JoJo’s father drives a grey 2006 Ford Expedition with the license plate “CSI U53.”

Anyone with information is asked to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477.

Miami-Dade Police Search for Missing 6-Year-Old Boy With Autism

Police are searching for a 6-year-old boy with autism who was last seen Saturday in Miami-Dade.

Police are searching for a 6-year-old boy with autism who was last seen Saturday in Miami-Dade.

Jorge "Jo Jo" Morales was picked up at 9:15 a.m. from his mother's residence in the 23700 block of SW 184th Avenue by his father and his paternal grandmother, Miami-Dade Police said Monday.

The child never returned home, violating court orders, police said.

Yanet Concepcion is wishing police can do more to help find her son.

"Please put an Amber Alert," she said. "I know they’re working hard and doing what they can, and I know they have to follow protocols and procedures ... but please, please put an Amber Alert."

When the child didn't come home, Concepcion went to her ex-husband's place to pick him up. "Everything was gone. Everything was gone from his apartment," she said. "His phones were off. His mom's phone was off."

Police said since the father has partial custody of the child, they could only classify the case as a missing person and not a kidnapping.

"I would have never thought something like this would happen to me," Concepcion said. "It's like the biggest nightmare a mother can have."

Morales is 3 feet tall and 50 pounds with brown hair and eyes. He was last seen wearing a gray t-shirt, gray shorts and black shoes. Police added he may be in need of services.

His father, Jorge Morales, is 45 years old. The grandmother, Lilliam Morales, is 68.

The car they were in is a 2006 gray Ford Expedition XLT, with Florida tag CSIU53.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 305-715-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.

Everything gone from the ex-husband’s apartment…

If the husband has family outside of the US, that is likely where they have headed.
How sad that there isn’t parental cooperation for the benefit of the child. Perhaps there is a good reason why there isn’t. I hope we learn more, and that the child is found safe soon.

How scary. Why would they take the child? Surely his father knows that disrupting the childs schedule can be very bad for someone with autism. I'm guessing the mother has custody or do they have joint custody?

 

[Stunned]

The father can see him during the day time.
The mothers families home, and I guess JoJo’s, is around the corner from my sisters, where I am staying. I’m gonna ask a neighbor closer if they know the family.

AMBER ALERT

Amber Alert issued for missing 6-year-old boy last seen nearly 1 week ago in Miami

An Amber Alert has been issued for a missing 6-year-old boy who was last seen in Miami on Saturday, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

MIAMI, Fla. – An Amber Alert has been issued for a missing 6-year-old boy who was last seen in Miami on Saturday, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

The department said on Friday a previous missing child alert was upgraded to an Amber Alert after receiving additional information provided by the Miami-Dade Police Department.

 

[Stunned]

Finally got an Amber Alert today while out to breakfast with the neighbor I was gonna ask about him with. She doesn’t know the family. But you have to understand this is not your average neighborhood. This is basically an agricultural area that is being slowly built on. The lots are huge. So someone can live 3 doors down and you might not ever seen them.

A narcissist doesn’t care about anyone but themselves. Even including their own children.

Car found in Maine may be clue in case of Florida boy who vanished in August

An abandoned vehicle that turned up in Maine may provide a clue to the whereabouts of 6-year-old Jorge “Jojo” Morales, who is the subject of a Florida Department of Law Enforcement Amber Alert.

www.clickorlando.com

[...]

Jorge’s mother, Yanet Leal Concepcion, told police officers through tears that she and her son’s father, Jorge Morales, had been involved in a custody battle.

[...]

Concepcion spoke with Local 10 News about the custody agreement between her and Jojo’s father.

“Jojo’s father is allowed to have him some days and only during the daytime,” she said.

When his mother went to pick him up the Saturday before his disappearance, she knew something was wrong.

Police showed up and so did the landlord, with a key to the apartment, but the unit was empty.

According to a private investigator, some of the belongings of the abducted child were found inside the vehicle found in Maine.

From the video:

Police told the mom that they believe the father has been planning this for more than a year.

For more than a year the father has been watching videos about how to live off the grid.

The mom said that starting about a year ago, the father started paying by cash only so he couldn't be traced. He even sold his home.

JoJo told his mom that his dad was going to take him to live with the windmills, and he (JoJo) wanted his mom to go with them.

[Unalienable Rights]

JoJo's comment to his mom about his dad taking him to "live with the windmills" is interesting. Houlton, Maine, where the car was abandoned, is the county seat of Aroostook County. Also in Aroostook County is Mars Hill Mountain which has a large wind farm.

Mars Hill has many attributes that make it special but its newest attribute is one you will likely not miss if you visit. Mars Hill Mountain, at the time of its construction, is home to New England's largest wind farm holding 28 massive wind turbines. Each of these ethereal wind angles, as one local environmentalist refers to them stands 389 feet tall and together can produce enough energy to supply more than 45,000 average Maine homes.

If hiking is something you enjoy the International Appalachian Trail goes over the top of the mountain with a lean-to to stay in at the top. So you can enjoy views of the windmills while hiking or take in 18 holes of golf at the Mars Hill Country Club or in the winter enjoy ripping down the slopes at Big Rock.

Mars Hill is truly a place of wonder to see because it utilizes the natural attributes that the mountain provides and creates the cleanest healthiest experiences you could ever ask for.

SUV Found Abandoned Near US-Canada Border Contained Items Belonging to Missing Florida Boy

''The vehicle found abandoned in Littleton, Maine, by US Border Patrol agents is not the vehicle investigators thought the trio may have left in, so it’s not clear how this vehicle — a black Yukon — came to be connected with the missing boy. Littleton, a tiny town in northeastern Maine, is directly on the border between the United States and Canada.''

A bear hunter found items belonging to JoJo? Are/were they on foot?

... a bear hunter found some personal items that detectives believe to be related to the case. A private investigator said the items belonged to Jorge.

[PayrollNerd]

I wonder if the Dad has the boy's birth certificate. If they went into Canada, the Dad would have to show ID at the border. He'd have to state his purpose and say how long he intended to stay. It would be tough to live off grid that far north, particularly thru the winter.

Wondering if the huge storm "Fiona" might have hindered plans to cross the border- or maybe even helped execute them, considering attention would be focused elsewhere? speculation.
