A 5-year-old Ohio boy was reported missing on Wednesday after his guardian told Columbus police that his wife claimed their “son was no longer alive.”

An Amber Alert was issued for 5-year-old Darnell Taylor on Wednesday, after a man police identified as Darnell’s foster father called 911 and told dispatchers his wife had killed the child, according to an affidavit obtained by local NBC affiliate WCMH.

The man said that his wife, 48-year-old Pammy Maye, “woke him up and made statements that made him believe that their foster child, Darnell had been hurt,” Columbus police wrote in a bulletin on Facebook.

The foster dad searched their home before making the 911 call and on the call, “stated his wife said their son was no longer alive,” per the affidavit.

The affidavit said that Maye held her hand over the foster dad’s mouth while he called 911 dispatchers and stated “she had a plan.” Maye then fled the home during the 911 call, the document said.

Police said on Facebook that the foster dad reported that Maye had “abruptly” left their home in a 2015 Jeep Cherokee. Police were able locate the unoccupied vehicle in Brooklyn, Ohio almost three hours after the call the was made.

Maye, who had not been taken into custody as of Thursday evening, has been charged with kidnapping and child endangerment, according to court records reviewed by HuffPost.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant pleaded to Maye to come forward on the whereabouts of the child.

“Pammy, if you’re watching this, could you please reach out and contact us? We need to know that Darnell is safe. We are asking you, Pammy, and we need to know you’re safe,” Bryant said.

According to Bryant, Maye’s husband is cooperating with the police’s investigation.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — An attorney representing the woman charged in the death of 5-year-old Darnell Taylor said she is competent to stand trial.

Pammy Maye appeared in Franklin County Court of Common Pleas on Monday for a scheduled hearing. Earlier this month, she pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse in connection with Darnell’s death.

Sam Shamansky, Maye’s attorney, said Maye is likely to change her plea to not guilty by insanity at a later date.

Shmanksy also asked the court for a private mental evaluation. But, the judge hasn’t yet made a decision on that evaluation.

10TV's Tara Jabour spoke to former Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien about why an attorney would ask for a private mental evaluation.

“This case involves the death of a 5-year-old by someone who was a custodian of them. So there are psychologists and psychiatrists that specialize in adults that cause harm and kill children,” said O’Brien.

On Feb. 14, an AMBER Alert was issued for Darnell after he was reported missing to police. Maye's husband had called 911 and said that his wife had killed the little boy and had fled the home. Later that morning, Maye's car was found abandoned in a Cleveland suburb.

Maye was found in the Cleveland area less than two days later and was taken into custody.

After interviewing Maye, detectives learned that Taylor's body might have been placed in a sewage drain on Marsdale Avenue in Franklin County. Authorities later found his body there.

When Maye and Shamansky appeared in court earlier this month, the attorney asked the magistrate to consider transferring Maye to a secure psychiatric facility. But the magistrate did not make a decision at the time.

The magistrate asked Shamansky if he wanted a health assessment on Maye, but Shamanksy said they would wait to find a psychologist to do the assessment.

Prosecutors for the case said this will be a challenging one as it will focus on Maye’s mental health.

Maye is scheduled to make another court appearance on April 25.

The chick was looney for real but the foster system in the United States is so fukked and underfunded they regularly give kids to unfit parents especially black kids.
