PUYALLUP — Puyallup police say the FBI has joined the search for a baby believed to be danger since he was born a week ago.
Captain Scott Engle said Sunday that they’re still looking for Jeshua Taylor, who was born Aug. 9 at a home without medical personnel present.
Police believe the baby has not received medical treatment since he was born. They’re worried he may be suffering from drug withdrawals.
Engle said state child-protective services received reports about the baby’s condition and alerted police. A Pierce County Superior Court judge authorized police to take the baby into protective custody.
Police said the boy’s mother, Myra Aguilar, fled with him to keep him out of state custody.
Police believe the baby is with his mother and his alleged father, Levi Jerome Taylor, who has two felony warrants for his arrest.
