Why would a mother no longer be cooperating? If it was my child, I'd be cooperating with everyone who was trying to help me find my child!
Authorities have searched the family home in connection to the boy's disappearance last week in Yucaipa.

I can think of other reasons:
If she is afraid of her husband and he told her not to.
On advice of counsel.
If they are actually innocent and feel like anything they do or say is being judged and they are being attacked, I could see parents stop cooperating.
I agree with you,
@Kristin Esq.
With respect, I don’t agree here with
@oceanverde .
I have one child and three grandchildren. I truly cannot imagine ANYTHING that would induce me to refuse to cooperate with LE trying to find my helpless baby.
I understand the prevailing wisdom of lawyering up when you are innocent, but speaking for myself only, I know I would do ANYTHING to find my 7-month old, no matter the cost to myself. It would be my only and obsessive thought.
I have not been a victim of domestic violence, so I may not have the right to say what I would do if I were victimized this way. I have posted already that once the mother was with the police, that would be the time to tell all. If she’s a DV victim, he would be arrested and she wouldn’t have to fear and obey him any longer.
I’m not minimizing the horror of life with an abuser, but if it’s my child or my husband, I have to choose my child. In this specific case, this demonic husband already has a history of child abuse. Who would choose him in the first place? Apparently, though, this is all too common.
This baby is 1000% helpless. The husband is not.
This is an infant, an infant appearing to have some physical problems. Too young to speak, too young to complain, too young to tell, too young to walk away, too young for anything and everything but to be kept safe and nurtured.
That is the job and typically the raison d’être of any parent, both mother and father.
