Falmouth Boy Found in Belize; Father Charged with Kidnapping - December 17, 2007
 | | Richard T. Warren and Christopher Seychew, 6. |
FALMOUTH - A missing 6-year-old Falmouth boy was reunited with his mother on Sunday after he was discovered in Belize.
Christopher T. Seychew was allegedly abducted by his father, Richard T. Warren, from his home on Dec. 8.
Warren, 44, of Owing Mills, Md., took the boy to Washington, D.C., then traveled to Cancun, Mexico, said investigators. From there, he allegedly took Christopher to Belize, an eastern Central American country bordering Mexico and Guatemala.
An arrest warrant was issued for Warren on Dec. 10 from Falmouth District Court for kidnapping. Warren does not have custodial rights for Christopher and police believed the boy to be in danger.
Falmouth Police and state police assigned to the Cape and Islands Detective Unit and the Violent Fugitive Apprehension Section, along with the U.S. Marshals Service learned that Warren had fled to Belize. With assistance from the U.S. State Department, Warren was taken into custody in Belize and transported to Texas.
Seychew was located in Belize with Warren, and was held by the State Department until he was able to be reunited with his mother.
Warren was expected to be arraigned Monday in Harris County District Court in Houston on the charge of being a fugitive from justice from the commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The boy was abducted on Dec. 8 and returned to his mother on Dec. 16. That is eight days and I'm sure they were the most excruciating eight days in the lives of his family members. A short story dedicated to helping find a missing little boy may not be a "bigger issue," but it certainly warrants a mention.
And, other issues are covered on iberkshires. Why does one quick story get so much criticism when there are so many other stories posted here? | | from: | on: 12-20-2007 |

| I don't know how this can be such a big deal when the boy was only gone for two days! It said that he went missing on Dec.8, and was found on Dec.10! Yeah. They found him. Great. But don't you think that you should talk about some bigger stories??? I mean, I am TRULY happy for the mother and that they were reunited, but still! I don't know if it's just my oppinion or what, but I still think it's a little odd. | | from: Allison | on: 12-19-2007 |

| I am the aunt of the child that was missing... and it breaks my heart to see that ignorant post. Thank you to iBerkshires for posting and for reposting when he was found and returned safely to our family. The week he was missing was long and stressful... We are greatly pleased with the media for their help in getting the word out... To you hateful poster... Really? what is your problem... Would you rather the "top story" be about Britney getting re-married??? It's a missing child for christ's sake... Go post elsewhere... | | from: From a small town on Cape Cod... | on: 12-18-2007 |

| I do not understand this person's negative reaction to this story. There must be a family that is grieving and missing that child and he them. The father does not appear to have the child's best interest as a priority. Thanks for keeping us updated. | | from: | on: 12-18-2007 |

| Did not hear of the story here in Belize, keep up the great job of public imformation. | | from: Reader from Belize | on: 12-18-2007 |

| I commend you on this article. When there is a missing child you go to great lengths to do what you can to help out. It's a shame someone has to waste their time and energy on such a hateful posting. | | from: | on: 12-18-2007 |

| I think it is the responsibility of all media sources to alert the public when a child is missing. I read the first story and was relieved to read the second report the child was found. | | from: reader | on: 12-18-2007 |

| If it were my son that was stolen from his “dead beat dad” I would be grateful to iBerkshires.com for breaking the story. Thanks for the story and the follow up letting us know he was found and returned home safely. | | from: Concerned mom | on: 12-18-2007 |

Editor's Note: IBerkshires' focus is on local news but its readership extends far beyond that because of the reach of the Internet. When we were provided with photos of a missing Massachusetts boy I considered it a public service to post the story. Perhaps one of our many readers had seen him or his father. Who knows? And when he was found, we let everybody know - immediately.
Also, it wasn't the top story of the day, because we don't have those. It was just the latest story.
But I'll leave it up to the readers. Should iBerkshires post stories like this if they're not about Berkshire County children? - Tammy Daniels | | from: | on: 12-18-2007 |
