An Amber Alert was issued Friday after a 3-year-old child was abducted by his mother in Nevada County, authorities said.
The California Highway Patrol and Nevada County Sheriff’s Office said Maverick Brown was allegedly taken by his mother in an unincorporated part of the county about 11:33 a.m. Authorities said the child was abducted during an assault on North Bloomfield Road near Grizzly Hill Road near the South Yuba Campground, roughly six miles northwest of Nevada County.
The mother, identified as Siera Salitrero, 30, took the boy and was on foot and was last seen heading southeast toward the South Yuba River. Officials are concerned after Salitrero made “self-harm statements towards herself.”
“Presently, we have 13 deputies and 35 search and rescue volunteers actively looking for the suspect and child,” the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office said at 5:35 p.m., minutes before the statewide Amber Alert was issued by the CHP.
Salitrero is described as a white female, 5-foot-4 and 135 pounds with shoulder-length blonde hair and blue eyes. Authorities said she was last seen wearing a white T-shirt with a black sports bra and blue jeans.
Maverick is 3 feet with blonde hair styled in a mohawk.
Authorities urge anyone who has seen the mother or the boy to not approach them and to call 911.
