For the past two months, all Anshellee Trought has endured are countless sleepless nights and profound uncertainty as she desperately searches for her missing two-year-old son.

On Wednesday, June 26, young Roshawn English, affectionately called 'Poppy,' vanished from their yard in Red Ground, Old Harbour, St Catherine, around 5 p.m. Trought said she briefly stepped inside their house to collect items for Roshawn's bath and when she returned her baby was gone.

Despite both parents' immediate efforts to locate him and a search by the police, there have been no confirmed sightings or leads on his whereabouts.

"I implore anyone who may be holding him or knows of his location to please release him or provide information that can lead to his safe return," Trought added.
