The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has issued an Amber Alert for a 10-day-old baby identified as Ryder Williams.

According to KXAN, the baby boy was last seen in Coffee City in East Texas on Thursday, wearing a sky blue onesie with blue sharks on it.

Authorities said they were also looking for Michelle Wolf and Ricky Williams. The two reportedly failed to surrender custody "as the court ordered."

The Coffee City Police Department said the pair are wanted after they fled with their child that was turned over to Child Protective Services (CPS), which was awarded custody of the boy. 

Authorities noted that the two suspects were last seen driving a white truck in Coffee City "on or around July 5." Texas DPS said they were seen in Tyler around noon of July 11.

The CPS noted that Ryder has tested positive for narcotics. Authorities feel that the child is in "grave or immediate danger."

Wolf is described as 5'8 with brown hair and blue eyes, while Ricky is 5'6 with blond hair and blue eyes. The 10-day-old baby Ryder is 19 and a half inches long with brown hair and blue eyes.

They can also speak with Kayla Mullins at 903-876-4946. AMBER Alerts are activated in the most serious child-abduction cases, with the goal of having the community assist in the search and safe recovery of a missing child.

AMBER Alerts are usually broadcasted through radio, TV, road signs, cellphones, and other data-enabled devices. The alert system is being used in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Indian County, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 27 other countries.

National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) manages the AMBER Alert Secondary Distribution Program. NCMEC is also notified and re-distributes the alert to the appropriate distributors.

A total of 114 children have been recovered as of May 1 due to AMBER Alerts, while 123 are due to Wireless Emergency Alerts.

U.S. Child Abductions

In the U.S., a child goes missing or is abducted every 40 seconds, based on the Child Safety fact sheet. Around 840,000 children are reported missing each year, with many involving situations where a child goes missing permanently or for an extended period of time.

Family kidnappings make up half of all reported abductions in the country, which usually involve parents. The case of family abductions can be complicated for law enforcement as the child may be unwilling to leave his or her abductor and other family members involved in the kidnapping.

Meanwhile, acquaintance abductions make up 27% of all child abductions, which are usually done by a high number of juvenile offenders.
