(NECN: Stephen Iandoli, Lynn, Mass.) - As the search continues for a five-year-old boy from Massachusetts, authorities are looking into the possibility he may have been taken to Puerto Rico. Giovanni Gonzalez was last seen Friday in Lynn, with his father -- who is now behind bars.
Prosecutors say 5-year-old Giovanni Gonzalez was dropped off at
the Lynn home of his father, Ernesto Gonzalez, on Friday. When the
boy's mother, Daisy Colon, went to pick him up on Sunday, the
father said their son wasn't with him.
Police say the 36-year-old Gonzalez has been uncooperative and
charged him with child endangerment. He was held on $500,000 bail
after pleading not guilty in court Monday.
Prosecutors say they are concerned for the boy's safety because
the father has refused to explain how he suffered a cut on his
hand.
Giovanni is 4'2" and weighs 40 pounds, with black hair and
brown eyes. He was last seen wearing jeans, a red shirt and
"Spiderman" sandals and carrying "Transformers" backpack.
