Authorities in Boynton Beach, Florida are actively searching for a missing 10-year-old boy identified as Chledens Deshommes, who has been classified as endangered due to his age and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) issued a statewide missing child alert on Saturday evening after the Boynton Beach Police Department requested assistance. The alert was sent shortly after 6 p.m., hours after the child was initially reported missing earlier in the day.
According to police, Chledens Deshommes was last seen shortly after noon in the 100 block of North Sixth Avenue, located east of U.S. 1 in Boynton Beach. He was reportedly spotted again around 2:20 p.m. in the same general area.
Officials describe the child as approximately 4 feet 7 inches tall, weighing between 80 and 90 pounds, with brown hair and black eyes. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing black pants with a white stripe on each side and a gray shirt. A photo captured during that time has been circulated to assist in the search.
Law enforcement officers and search teams have been canvassing the neighborhood, going door-to-door and following up on tips from residents who believe they may have seen the child.
