Zayden Montero was last seen Friday around 10 a.m. at  his residence on Albert Road, near Tahoe Street in Ozone Park, in the temporary care of his aunt, Darlene Melo, police said.

By court order, Melo was to give the boy to New York Foundling Foster Care, and was scheduled to surrender the child Wednesday at 5 p.m., according to police. Montero was officially reported missing that day.

The boy was in restrictive placement with his aunt because she tested positive for drugs, police say.

The missing boy is described as standing 2 feet 4 inches tall, weighing 22 pounds, with a thin build and light complexion.
