Fears rise for severely disabled missing boy, 6, who hasn’t been heard from in months since his mother ‘fled the US’

A DISABLED boy remains missing after his mother and siblings allegedly boarded an international flight last week.

Other family members told investigators they haven't seen Noel Rodriguez-Alvarez, 6, since November.

His mother Cindy Rodriguez-Singh, 37, allegedly flew to Turkey on Thursday with her husband and six other children, but not Noel, Crime Online reported.

Now, investigators in the boy's hometown of Everman, Texas, are working to locate him.

“He was born at 25 weeks and therefore has a lot of physical disabilities and developmental disorders,” Everman Police Chief Craig Spencer told WFAA.

On top of struggling in social situations, Noel has a chronic lung disease, which means he periodically needs to be placed on oxygen.

Police are worried he's not receiving adequate medical care.

The investigation began last Monday after family members contacted the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.

Local police made contact with Rodriguez-Singh who said Noel was with his biological father in Mexico, Spencer said.

They didn't see any reason to take further action.

But CPS reached out to Noel's father who said he's never actually met the boy since he was deported before Noel was born.

Police reached out to Rodriguez-Singh again on Thursday, but they weren't able to make contact.

They contacted the school, which reported that the mother's other children had been absent and that she had recently asked about unenrolling them.

Shortly after that, investigators discovered that Rodriguez-Singh, her husband, and six other children between the ages five months and 11 years old, boarded a flight to Turkey.

Police don't have any physical evidence regarding Noel's whereabouts and don't believe his siblings are in danger.

An Amber Alert was issued over the weekend, but that's since been changed to an Endangered Missing Persons Alert.

Anyone with information about Noel or his family should contact the Everman Police Department at (817) 293-2923 or call 911.

Everman is a suburb located 15 minutes south of Fort Worth.
