ACS, NYPD Seek Missing Brooklyn Boy

By: NY1 News

The Adminstration for Children's Services worked with police Saturday to try to locate a missing Brooklyn child.

Patrick Alford, aged seven, was last seen Friday evening leaving the lobby of the Spring Creek Development in the Starrett City section of Brooklyn, where he lives with a foster family.
Alford's biological family says the boy was placed there by ACS officials when he was taken away from his mother. They also say a caseworker informed them that the boy was missing from his foster home.
ACS officials would not go into detail on Saturday about how the boy disappeared or why the child was removed from his original home.
The boy is described by police as four-feet-eight-inches tall and weighing about 65 pounds. He is in good physical and mental health.
Alford was last seen wearing a red T-shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers.
