BOSTON, Mass. -- Police initiated an intensive search on Castle Island and the surrounding ocean for a missing four-year-old boy Sunday night.

Massachusetts State Police, Boston firefighters, Boston EMS and the Coast Guard combed a sprawling area well into the night without any trace of the child.

MSP told Boston 25 News Mohemed Fofena, 4, of South Boston, was playing at a park on Castle Island on the South Boston coastline with an adult family member Sunday evening.

Shortly after 7 p.m., the relative lost sight of Mohemed. They couldn’t find the little boy and called 911 around 7:30 p.m.

MSP patrols responded and conducted a sweep of the area. Multiple agencies and units then responded to assist in the search by land, air, and water, including the MSP Marine Unit, Dive Team, and Air Wing; Boston Police; Boston Fire; Massachusetts Environmental Police; Boston EMS; and the US Coast Guard. Additionally, Troopers from the State Police Detective Unit for Suffolk County responded to continue the missing child investigation.

Mohemed Fofena is Black and was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and blue footwear. Anyone who sees Mohemed or who has information about him should call 911 immediately.

Police assets remained on the scene overnight after suspending the active search around 1 a.m. Monday. The search will resume later Monday morning.

His mother and grandfather are on the video with following article.


BOSTON — The desperate mother of a missing 4-year-old boy is calling out to the public for help as crews on Monday continue to search the water off Castle Island for her young son.

**********
Mohemed’s mother said her son was with her grandfather and sister when he disappeared. She also noted her son also speak.

“Please help me. If someone has Mohemed, I need Mohemed,” the boy’s mother said in an emotional plea for help. “He’s autistic, he doesn’t talk. Please, please.”

Mohemed’s grandfather said the park was crowded while they were there and that they were unfamiliar with the area.

MSP patrols responded and conducted a sweep of the area. Multiple other agencies and units then assisted in the search by land, air, and water.

"I started checking around and checking around. I checked for 10 to 15 minutes. I couldn't see Mohemed. So I called the Park Ranger. Before that, I called 9-1-1," Mohemed's grandfather Soleymane Fofane told reporters Monday.

"If you saw Mohemed, please help me," said Mohemed's mother Macenjay Fofane. "Help me to give it to me, my little baby, please. Please. He doesn't have a daddy here. I'm here with my kids. Please, please people, help me find Mohemed for me."

Hope he is found soon, but any young child lost near a body of water sounds bad !
And autistic children are sometimes drawn to water, iirc ?
His poor worried mom and family ! :(
