According to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA), Fall River Police issued a police bulletin Friday regarding a missing toddler who is in danger.

According to FRPD, 22-year-old Genezza Packett was visiting her son, who lives in the care of her aunt, on Thursday. Packett said she took her child to a nearby Dunkin' Donuts but never returned.

Further investigation revealed that Packett and the child were traveling south toward Mississippi. Relevant information was forwarded to police at ALEA's Highway Patrol Division.
