that one day, someone would return her son to her but Daniel has been missing for almost one month, two weeks and two days to date.
Daniel and his four-year-old sister were left in their father, Junior Adolphus’s care. The children’s mother was out of the Region when the child went missing. She returned immediately after she heard about her eldest child’s disappearance. It has not been easy for her ever since.
One of Daniel’s cousins described him as a jovial child. She said that no other family member can impose any pressure on the police except the missing child’s parents who have not.
Little Daniel Adolphus mysteriously disappeared from his Richmond Housing Scheme home between December 2 and December 3, last. The child’s father has insisted that he went into his bed and left Daniel viewing television.
H said that around midnight he awoke and took his medications and discovered his son missing. The older Adolphus suffers from a mental condition.
After the child’s disappearance, the elder Adolphus said that he called his sisters to inform them. A search for the missing child eventually proceeded. All, however, were unsuccessful. Family members said that they have exhausted their search in the back dam, in areas around the seawalls, in nearby trenches, the burial ground and around the child’s home.
The police were also a part of some of those searches.
Early last year, the child’s father attempted to slit his throat. The police were notified and Adolphus was arrested and charged. The case was however dropped after the Magistrate requested a mental evaluation to be done on Adolphus.
The father has since been administered medication to allow him to function normal.
It’s however alarming to fathom the mysterious disappearance of a child especially in a quiet county of Essequibo. Essequibo, (Pomeroon/Supenaam) has over the decades had its share of murders, accidents, incidents of rapes but the mysterious disappearance of a six-year-old without any trace, is most stunning.
