2-year-old boy missing nearly a month after visit with father in the Bronx
HUNTS POINT, Bronx (WABC) -- A 2-year-old boy is missing after a visitation with his father nearly a month ago in the Bronx.
The father had a custodial visit back on May 10 at 10 p.m. in the Hunts Point area, but did not return the boy, named Montrell Williams, who lives in the Melrose section.
The toddler's mother says she saw his father on Monday and asked where their son was. His response rang alarm bells, she told police, who brought the man in to the 40th Precinct.
Officials say his initial statements raised concerns about the child's safety.
Neighbors say they are shocked he hasn't been seen in nearly a month.
"I can only imagine what his mom is going through right now," said the boy's neighbor Tracey Pringle. "The only thing we can do is just hope and pray that he's OK and that he's returned safely."
The missing toddler is described as having a medium complexion, brown eyes and black hair. He was last seen wearing a white shirt and diaper.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
