An unusual child custody case. Missing: the child whose custody is in dispute.
The child is a ten month old baby. A court awarded custody to the father last month.
The mother has been in jail for contempt of court since May, for refusing to disclose the baby’s whereabouts.
Authorities have threatened to prosecute anyone involved in concealing the baby’s location.
The father is an immigrant from Africa. The mother allegedly fears he will abduct the child to Africa if the child is placed in his care.
