York Regional Police homicide cops have taken over the search for a missing two-month-old boy who was with his father when he disappeared a week ago in Vaughan.
Detectives are concerned over the health of the toddler who is still believed to be with his dad despite searches by his family and police.
The child’s plight began after police and officials of the Children’s Aid Society went to the Vaughan home of Ricky Doodhnaught, 31, on Nov. 24 to remove two children from the house under a court order, officers said.
The mother of the children surrendered and one other child was removed from the home, officers said.
Police said Doodhnaught, of Woodbridge, managed to flee with nine-week-old, George Doodhnaught, and hasn’t been seen since.
Doodnaught is believed to be driving a silver, 2002, Dodge Caravan, possibly marked with one of two Ontario licence plate sets BMJZ199 or BFJT783. He is also wanted on two Criminal Code warrants for two incidents involving theft of gas.
He is described as having brown skin, about 5-foot-10, 240 pounds with short black hair and brown eyes
