(NECN: Josh Brogadir, Lynn, Mass.) - Neighbors in Lynn, Massachusetts are coming together to find a five-year-old boy who's been missing since the weekend. Giovanni Gonzalez was dropped off at his father's house Friday and hasn't been seen since.

When Giovanni's mother returned Sunday to pick up the boy, he was not there. His father, Ernesto, was -- and he is currently being held by police, charged with child endangerment. He is not cooperating with authorities, according to the police.

Neighbors say they are doing all that they can to help find the boy.

Police are not saying if they have any specific clues as to where the boy may be located, but they are saying they will not stop searching until he is found.

Giovanni's mother is currently speaking with investigators. She has a message for her son: Giovanni, call 911 if you are watching.
