Original report:

Police are seeking the public’s help to locate a child who was reported missing after his mother failed to surrender custody to Child Protective Services earlier this month.

Selina Elswick was scheduled to return her 3-year-old son, Damian Sollas, to Suffolk County Family Court in Central Islip on Wednesday, Jan. 22 and failed to appear, Suffolk County Police said.

When representatives from CPS attempted to take custody of the child at their residence in Commack on Monday, Jan. 27, it was discovered that the two had moved out of the residence on Thursday, Jan. 16. CPS then contacted the Suffolk County Police Department to report the child missing.

Elswick, 32, is 5-foot-6 inches, approximately 150 pounds with red hair and brown eyes. Damian is approximately 40 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. The two may be in the company of the child’s father, Thomas Sollas, 43, and may be traveling in a box truck with "Lite House Electrical" written on the side, police said.

Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Suffolk County Police Fourth Squad detectives at 631-854-8452 or 911.
