Missing Escambia County 4-Year Old Found Safe Near Dallas On Christmas Eve

December 25, 2020

A young  young Escambia County boy that was left alone at a bus station in Houston, Texas, has been found safe.

On Thursday, a relative of 4-year old Marceliano Pinkney contacted the Bay County (FL) Sheriff’s Office in Florida to report the child’s mother left Marceliano alone at the Greyhound bus station in Houston on December 15. The boy’s mother then departed to Florida, according to Houston Police.

Florida authorities interviewed the mother and contacted the Houston Police Missing Persons Unit Thursday morning. Through early investigation, it is believed Marceliano boarded a bus with an adult male on December 15.

Marceliano was located unharmed Christmas Eve at his foster parents’ residence in Wylie, TX, near Dallas. The foster parents told Wylie police officers that Marceliano has been at the home since December 18.

Houston Police investigators will continue to work with agencies in Bay County, Florida, and Wylie, Texas, to determine whether any charges will be filed in the case.

    How in the world is it stated “to determine whether any charges will be filed in the case”? She should be put in jail without bond no matter her state of mind
    If the child was in foster care how was the mother able to take the child in the first place? You just don’t take a child to a commercial bus station and abandon the innocent child. Interviewing? and not Interrogation? is totally not acceptable whatsoever. Both Texas & Florida are just wrong for not taking immediate action in this case. GOD Bless this Little One.

    “Did anyone catch “journalism” at its best?? The mother was INTERVIEWED????”

    Read the sentence in the story again please.

    “Florida authorities interviewed the mother…”

    AUTHORITIES interviewed the mom. Law enforcement interviewed the mom, not the media.

    Did anyone catch “journalism” at its best?? The mother was INTERVIEWED???? She left her child and gave no thought to what horrible things could happen to him or how scared he would be…none! Yet she was interviewed about what she has done. This country hasn’t got much time left, folks!

    “Human” mothers don’t abandon their young in a strange city. Unless that young one’s life didn’t really matter very much to them.

    This doesn’t pass the smell test.

    This is just completely inconceivable to me. Our “child” is 40 now and married. But, we check on her every day. How could a human mother do this?
