Thank you Helen!!
I was not even aware of a search. You rock.
The article you linked says another search is planned for next Saturday as well. That is good news.
Oh my goodness, Helen you have had one very full plate lady!
I hope husband is recovering nicely and minding doctors orders (sometimes that is the toughy, those lifestyle changes etc).
Thanks for your kind words.
Jeremiah is a doll. Makes me so sad to think that he was victimized by the adults in his own home he should have been able to feel safe inI hope he is found soon.
Bless Mr. Fleitas for taking this search upon himself. What a good citizen. I have never had a case in my local area where I would be close enough to search for a victim, but I sure would like to hope I would jump up and hit the ground running if that ever happened.
Those are the heroes in these cases. Those folks who get out there and do what they can to resolve a missing persons case.
The father of a missing 5-year-old Fitchburg boy, who is feared dead, said yesterday hes hopeful his youngest child is alive and he plans to fight for custody of his two other children, who are in state care, during an upcoming court hearing.

He recently saw his two children, who are in the care of the Department of Children and Families, for the first time in two years since Elsa Oliver left him and took the children with her.
It was emotional, Jose Oliver said. They ran to me. My daughter gave me a kiss, he gave me a bracelet.
State child welfare officials are expected to announce more personnel moves in the wake of the disappearance of 5-year-old Fitchburg boy who hasnt been seen since mid September, an official said.
Olga Roche, the commissioner of the Department of Children and Families, is slated to host a press conference this afternoon where she will give an update into the agencys probe of the case involving Jeremiah Oliver and his family, who had been receiving state services for two years when the boy vanished.
The announcements involve personnel decisions and action steps the embattled agency plans to take after acknowledging state workers mishandled the familys case, officials said.
Hi all. This is my first time posting here. I've been reading on here for a couple years, but this case of little Jeremiah Oliver prompted me to join. He is from my town, Fitchburg MA, and our community is so distressed about this missing boy. There is a lot of outrage here, as it appears the police are doing very little. The only searches done have by arranged by civilians, and no police or fire have participated. There is speculation that perhaps the police already know where he is, and that's why they are not searching.
It seems this little guy has been failed again and again. By his parents, by DCF, and now the police. One of our local papers, the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, provided the official DCF report into this case, and after reading it today I was so upset. They screwed up so badly. I would link the report here but I don't know how to! Besides the multiple reports that were filed against the family, in which DCF took no action, DCF actually talked to the siblings in early November, at which time the older sibling told them that Jeremiah NO LONGER lived with them! That he was living with people they didn't know. It seems to me this should have been a HUGE red flag to DCF.
I'm just praying that this little boy is found soon.
Hoping this attachment to DCF report works.
To the best of my knowledge, there have been no searches done by police, other than a search of the apartment. There have been no press conferences, no officials have addressed the issue to the public. I am sure they are working on it, but nothing obvious.
I just don't understand the lack of coverage! This is a little boy missing for months never reported missing by parents! The mother has a tattoo with the date 9-25-13, that must have some significance. It's Casey Anthony all over again.
