"Judge Dawn Orsatti pressed Jacqueline Pritchett for information that could help police find the child, Jacob Pritchett, who authorities believe has been missing since late September, the outlet reported. When the mother's attorney, Daniela Mancini, responded on her client's behalf, Orsatti responded: "Your client has a voice. It's improper for you to say she can't speak on her behalf," the Daily News reported."
"The case surfaced after the New York Police Department conducted a wellness check at the family's Brownsville apartment on Sept. 26, requested by the Administration for Children's Services. Officers said Jacob Pritchett was not there when they arrived. His mother was found inside the unkempt home and taken to a hospital for evaluation, according to sources. The apartment was later sealed as a crime scene while authorities investigated."
An autistic 11-year-old boy, Jacob Pritchett, has been missing since late September after a wellness check at his Brownsville apartment on Sept. 26 found him absent. The Administration for Children's Services requested the check; officers found the mother inside an unkempt home and she was taken to a hospital for evaluation. The apartment was later sealed as a crime scene. Authorities describe Jacob as non-verbal and unable to provide identifying information. Police and state troopers searched an upstate landfill near Rochester in October without finding remains. Computer-generated images have been created to show what Jacob may look like now. The mother has invoked her Fifth Amendment right in Brooklyn Family Court and has been held at Rikers Island on a civil contempt warrant.
