He’s so adorable. He looks like a little baby doll. I hope that this kiddo is found safe.

Look at those cute little fat cheeks. He looks happy & healthy in his pic above, best I can tell.
Where in Lafayette was he last seen? At home? With a sitter?
Hoping for good news... but the quote from above in the Silver Alert, "believed to be in extreme danger," is very, very worrisome.
A prayer for this little guy and for those who truly love him.

Yet again. I just don't get it, never will. My eldest was the worst baby but she's still alive and kicking at 15, because I put her in her cot and walked away from her when she was at the worst.

Can babies be annoying? Yes. Can they be infuriating, absolutely! But there's no excuse, EVER!

Why would this have been a Silver Alert instead of an Amber Alert?

More in linked article. A Lafayette police sgt is quoted as saying that it isn't currently clear if Elisard Moneus is Jacob's father. He says that he is a suspect in Jacob's death, but the charges are for a previous DV dispute and are not related to Jacob's death.
