#MISSINGCHILD @fdlepio and @CoconutCreekPD looking for 4 year old Tanner Swears. His mother reported he was abducted by his father, Stephen Swears, at gunpoint. They may be traveling in a 2013 silver Mustang. Call police with any information. @CBSMiami

:eek: OMG! Why isn't this an Amber Alert?

Come on dad, do the right thing. Just drop him off someplace safe like at a hospital or fire station.

STEPHEN SWEARS Inmate 124695: Florida Department of Corrections in Florida
Only one I could link.
Going into public records.
This could relate to his 1989 divorce.
Same MO
First, at that link it shows under county as "Interstate" which means whatever that is, it is not in Florida. At that time period he was living in North Carolina, likely in the military - if his information isn't crossed up with someone else's. I can find no archived story showing an arrest or trial of a Stephen Swears anywhere in that time frame. That doesn't mean that it didn't happen, just that Google doesn't have anything on it.

The 1989 divorce was in Miami-Dade. There are no criminal charges that have ever been filed against Stephen Swears in Miami-Dade.

Could Interstate mean: crossed state lines?

I don't know, Gardener. It's unnerving and I'm so scared for little Tanner. As of now it's a statewide alert but previous charges show interstate. Dang it!

Come on FL and States to North Carolina. We need Amber alert!!!
MOO: No known evidence that he is married to Tanner's mom.
Not sure about fire arm.
I am sure LE is all over this.
A 55 year old father should know the proper court procedures in obtaining proper rights to his son.
We all want Tanner safe. Stephen please snap out of it. Surrender and tell your Story for the Love of your Son.

His address history includes Fayetteville, NC: https://www.whitepages.com/name/Stephen-Bradford-Swears/Fort-Lauderdale-FL/174f4nqe

Also:
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Pompano Beach, FL
Fort White, FL

He is currently living in Oakland Park, FL if Whitepages is up to date (which it might not be).

Most of his previous locations are pretty close to Coconut Creek except for Fort White and Fayetteville: Google Maps

I hope he has limited resources/limited connections out of state and won't go too far away.

This needs to be an Amber Alert. MOO.

@chihuahua, we need your help. Baby allegedly taken at gunpoint and no Amber Alert. Please see Gardener's map of the suspect's previous locations in the quoted post above. xoxo TIA

Whoa, he looks really different there. I didn't think it was the same man at first but that's him:

LE needs to get more photos out. He could look completely different if he dyed his hair or shaved his mustache. MOO.

The media link is out of Jacksville so it looks like Florida is covering South and North bound. Now we need west Florida Media just in case . Media getting word out at least.
Interstates travel BOLO
Car would be easy to spot if at rest areas. Silver convertible ( top up or down) mustang 2013 year man and Tanner.
Why are they referring him to Man with Tanner instead of father of Tanner?
Has mom revealed something to Stephen about Tanner?
He looks like such an adorable 4 year old.
LE not easing up due to report of firearm. High alert in Florida
