With 2-year-old missing, Madera police issue plea: ‘We need your eyes; we need your ears’
The Madera Police Department and other agencies are searching for a 2-year-old Madera boy who went missing from his home Wednesday morning.
Thaddeus Sran went missing from the home on the 800 block of C Street between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 8:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Madera Police Chief Dino Lawson said the parents put the boy to sleep last night and woke up and discovered the child missing.
Police are searching the city and surrounding areas for the boy.
“We need your eyes; we need your ears,” Madera Police Chief Dino Lawson said. “Please reach out to us and help us.”
Lawson said “everything is on the table and we’re not ruling anything out” and “we’re trying to locate Thaddeus right now.”
Lawson said the boy was born prematurely and has a feeding tube. He is also non-verbal, recently learned to walk, needs special care and crawls to get around.
Thaddeus was last seen wearing a red shirt and Spiderman pants with a diaper underneath. He is approximately 2-feet tall and 30 pounds.
Police are investigating it as a possible abduction, Lawson said.
Lawson said the couple and other children, all Madera residents, relocated C Street two weeks ago.
No Amber Alerts were issued because it requires a suspect and vehicle description, Madera County Sheriff spokeswoman Sarah Jackson said.
Madera County Sheriff’s Office, US Marshall’s, Federal Bureau of Investigations and Madera County Probation are assisting with a search and investigation.
Anyone who has any information regarding this case or has seen Thaddeus is asked to call 559-675-4220.
