An active search is underway in Cuernavaca, Morelos, after 6-year-old John Oehlenschlager, a U.S. citizen, was reported missing following a scheduled visitation with his father at a local court facility.

The incident occurred April 17 at the Family Guidance Department of the Superior Court of Justice in Cuernavaca. According to information provided by the family, the child was participating in a court-arranged visit with his father, identified as Benoit Allouche, when he was allegedly taken around 1:00 p.m.

Officials in Cuernavaca have initiated search protocols, while the child’s family has called for expanded public awareness to assist in locating him.

John is described as approximately 1.19 meters tall, weighing 20 kilograms, with long dark blonde hair and brown eyes. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a blue T-shirt, black shorts, and blue shoes featuring the Spider-Man character.

His mother, Macey Ambur Lee Oehlenschlager, has expressed concern about the child’s safety, citing ongoing investigations related to domestic violence. She indicated that prior incidents have raised concerns about the child’s well-being and vulnerability.

Family members also warned of a potential attempt to leave Mexico. There are concerns that the suspect could try to cross into another country, including Guatemala, or travel internationally.

Authorities in the state of Morelos have been alerted, and the case remains active. The family is asking anyone with information that could assist in locating the child to contact emergency services or reach out directly using the phone number 744-284-3378 or via email at [email protected].

Officials continue to urge the public to remain vigilant as the search efforts continue.
