AT Jr. is believed to be with his mother, Dreama Ferguson. Ferguson does not have legal custody of him.

AT Jr. was also reported missing when he was one year old and living in Durham County. His birth parents, Dreama Ferguson and Andre Thompson Sr., lost custody of him but never handed him over to the Durham County Department of Social Services. For 10 years, DSS claims they did not know where AT Jr. was.

Detective Matthew Burgess with Southport PD says he received a tip last year that AT Jr. was in the Southport area. By August, the department had located him with his mother, Dreama.

At that time, DSS decided to place AT Jr. in his grandmother, Pamela Ferguson’s, custody. But now, they claim AT Jr. is missing again.

“Since [August], DSS had made several attempts to make contact with the child to make sure he was taken care of and they received no cooperation from the family,” Burgess said.

Pamela Ferguson has been charged with Failure to Report a Child’s Disappearance and Obstructing Justice. It is believed she allowed AT Jr. to leave with Dreama.

AT Jr. was also reported missing twice when he was one year old and living in Durham County in 2014. His birth parents, Dreama Ferguson and Andre Thompson Sr., lost custody of him but never handed him over to the Durham County Department of Social Services.

Authorities found Thompson after one day after his first disappearance, but he vanished for a second time later that year. For 9 years, DSS claims they did not know where AT Jr. was.
