Fairfax Police Searching for Missing 5-Year-Old Boy

Five-year-old Cameron Serafin was supposed to return Sunday to his father in Great Falls.

But he never came home, say Fairfax County police, who asked for the public's help Thursday in finding the missing child.

According to police, Cameron is believed to be with his mother, Rebecca Serafin, 32.

Serafin was supposed to return the child to his father on Sunday. A warrant has been issued for Serafin’s arrest on charges of custodial interference, a misdemeanor, police said.

Detectives say they have reason to be concerned about the boy's welfare.

There was no address available for Cameron's mother. Fairfax Police Officer Shelley Broderick said Cameron and his mother could be anywhere.

Police believe that Serafin has changed her and her son’s appearance to avoid being located by authorities. Her car and other belongings have been found, adding to the police department’s theory that she is trying to remain undetected, according to a police news release.

Serafin could be using the alias Rebecca Love, and Cameron might be as well, police say.

Serafin is about 5 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs between 120 and 130 pounds. Cameron is about 3 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs about 40 pounds.

The attached photographs of Serafin and Cameron (see right) are the most recent available and are believed to show their altered appearances, according to police.

“We’re watching this spread like wildfire on social media and that’s what we need,” Broderick said.
