4 m.o. Baby Boy - Abducted by Mom 7/8/09 FLA
Osceola mother and baby still missing Child-welfare investigators removed the kids from her "unsafe" home Law enforcement officers are searching for Josselyn Velazquez and her missing newborn. (Osceola County Sheriff's Office) 8:24 AM EDT, July 9, 2009 An Osceola County mother of eight, whose seven children were taken away by DCF, is still on the run this morning with her eighth and youngest child, deputies said. Law enforcement officers have an arrest warrant for Josselyn Velazquez, 31, who violated her probation recently and has disappeared with her four-month-old son. Investigators believe the boy could be in danger. Velazquez lost custody of her first seven children because her home was deemed "an unsafe living environment" by the state Department of Children and Families, according to the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. In March, Velazquez gave birth to an eighth child, and DCF recently was granted custody, the Sheriff's Office said. Velazquez was supposed to have turned the infant over to DCF authorities. Law enforcement cannot issue an Amber Alert for the boy because he is with his mother, Twis Lizasuain, spokeswoman for the Osceola County Sheriff's Office. Velazquez may be with her boyfriend, Eric Melendez, 36, who apparently is the father of Velazquez's eighth baby, a boy. Investigators think they may be living in a Kissimmee motel. Anyone with information can call the Sheriff's Office at 407-348-2222 or Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/orl-bk-missing-mother-of-eight-070909,0,7406785.story
