AMBER ALERT: Frank Deitsch
September 14, 2008 by Lizard
UPDATE 9/16/08 – The Amber Alert for Frank Deitsch was lifted yesterday. He is now safe and in the custody of Child Protective Services.
Warren, MI - One-year-old Frank Deitsch was last seen around noon SundaySunday reviews
, when he was taken from his residence by his father Frank Deitsch, Jr., 56. Before leaving with his son, Frank Deitsch, Jr. assaulted the child’s mother; he then called her from a pay phone to tell her, “You will never see your son again.”
The suspect has no money, and there is no child safety seat in the gray 1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass. The Michigan license plate number is BLW6780 (expired).
Little Frank has blue eyes, no hair, and a rash on his face. He weighs about 25 pounds and was last seen wearing a sleeveless Detroit Pistons shirt. The father is 5′11″, weighs 125 pounds, and has hazel eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing jeans, black gym shoes, and a dark t-shirt.
It is believed the father was turned away from relatives in Ohio around 4 p.m. and now may be headed for Kentucky.
Anyone with information should call 911 or the Warren Police Department at (586) 574-4832.

I hope they find this baby within the hour, safe. My heart goes out to his mother.

Thanks Lizard for posting this. I have been following this all day. The last I seen was he was at a Sonic and Krogers in Rossford, OH @ 12:00 noon. If anyone else gets updates on this please let us know!
Stupid dumbarse people… What the FLUCK are they thinking?
10:38 pm on September 14th, 2008
Return home safe little one.
11:01 pm on September 14th, 2008
Man thats scary. I hope this guy doesn’t do anythiny to the poor kid to hurt the mom… I mean besides what he’s already done.
12:58 am on September 15th, 2008
Oh this breaks my heart! I can’t even imagine what the mother must be going through. My little boy is a 12 months and at this age babies have made such a fierce attachment to their mama’s…poor baby, I hope he is found alive and well as soon as possible.
A prayer for you little Frank.
1:10 am on September 15th, 2008
This little guy is from an area not too far from me. Normally the area he lived in to begin with is slums anyway. I am hoping that this little boy is found safely. He is the age of my little miracle.
Praying for little man Frank. I hope you are found safe and well.
8:42 am on September 15th, 2008
5′11″ and weighs only 125lbs? This guy must be a real meth-head or a crackhead to be that skinny
10:15 am on September 15th, 2008
Oh God, has anyone heard any updates on the little guy? Have LE found him? I’m praying for you Frank jr.
10:39 am on September 15th, 2008
The Amber Alert remains in effect, although the father called police last night and told them he’d be returning from Ohio with the boy sometime today. (P.S. Frank Jr. is the dad–if the baby is Frank III, they’re not reporting him that way.)
10:41 am on September 15th, 2008
Thanks for a bit of an update Lizzard..LOL, oops, my fault.. LiZaRd. Your great!
11:02 am on September 15th, 2008
Was thinking the same thing.
I hope like hell the father is telling the truth. Would be nice to see a happy ending on one of these cases.
Frank Junior Junior. Like the old ‘Friends’ episode.
11:14 am on September 15th, 2008
I hope we can believe this skinny shithead.. Return home safe little Frank, then I hope they lock up that useless piece of penis shit ASAP
11:30 am on September 15th, 2008
He went to family and they turned him away? Oh man, if anything happens to that poor child the guilt they feel will be unreal.
11:58 am on September 15th, 2008
Look Frank Deitsch Jr. is my father I would like to set straight that there is no poor mother the MOTHER is a cocaine head my father has always been skinny ny dad was desperate to get my little brother out of that house and away from her granted he went about it the wrong way but that baby is in no danger the only danger he would be in is if he was left alone with her!!!!!!!!!!!!! And The babies name is Frank Dominique Deitsch he has a different last name than my day thats why he isnt the third.
Does anybody ever stop to think that your only hearing the mothers side of the story I used to love her until I found out how bad of a drug head she was when my dad lived with me she would leave that poor baby alone with her other 12 year old daughter and go missing on drug binges for days.
12:02 pm on September 15th, 2008
Thanks for posting, Amba1030. We always appreciate hearing the other side of our stories. Can you tell me a couple of things?
1. Have you heard from your dad? Do you know if he and the baby are ok and heading back?
2. Do you know if he’s done anything by legal channels to get custody of the child?
3. How old are you? You sound like a self-possessed adult. Do you have a relationship with the baby’s mother or the baby? Live nearby? See them often?
Thanks for any light you can shed!!
12:24 pm on September 15th, 2008
Amba – I hope that you can convince you father to bring the child home safely. Maybe there is a better way to “handle” the so called mother. If she is truly a coke head CPS needs to be informed. Sad for your Dad, though. He will be in a world of trouble… I am sorry that your family is going through this. It sure sounds like a nightmare.
12:34 pm on September 15th, 2008
I don’t think this will help him get custody…just sayin’ .
1:07 pm on September 15th, 2008
5′11″ and 125lbs is not skinny – it’s emaciated. The fashion industry is turning models away with those stats for being too thin. A 56 year old man with a slowing metabolism does not weight 125lbs unless he’s 5′ nothing. If the mother is a coke head, likely the father is too. Those types tend to find each other for a reason. Maybe I’m wrong and he’s just a very unhealthy person, maybe he has a tapeworm.
I think I’ll wait until he’s caught and more info comes out. You know your dad is going to prison now? Doesn’t matter why he did it.
2:10 pm on September 15th, 2008
I will answer all questions
First off how do you know if he would be a coke head or not I mean really and where do you get your knowledge from anyway….
#1. Tell me when the cops or your signifigant other ever really know how much you weigh. Also have you ever heard of being stressed out and losing weight I mean really. Enough on the weight all that matters is the baby.
#2. The last thing I heard from the detectives is that my father has been in contact with the police. And thank you yes it does feel like a nightmare and i knew something like this would happen. These two people do not need to be together and its sad that it has had to come to this for them to finally realize it. The CPS have investigated her before but i am not going to give out the information on that. Also you dont know my dad might not be in any trouble at all for the simple fact that none of you people on here know both sides of the stories or know anything about the money at all REMEMBER: There is a lot more to the story than the police release to the media!!!
#3 I dont know if they are heading back but the detectives did tell me that they were ok.
#4 He has not done anything legally for full custody because up until yesterday him and my little brothers mother were still together.
#5 I am 20 years old I am married and own my own house. Yes i am a strong person me and my dad have never really been close but I do know the facts so PLEASE everyone on here dont think im taking up for him because he is my daddy because i am NOT!!
#6. I used to have a relationship with her matter of fact I loved her A LOT. She bought me everything for my first prom but then her and my father started to have more and more of a destructive relationship and me and her fell apart. Unfortunatly I live two states away from where they live the last time I saw my baby brother was at Easter time.
#7 Thats not what I was trying to do but thanks anyway
#8 Like i said in the beggining if he goes to prison he does all I am concerned about is my little brother being safe which safe is not with her.
2:18 pm on September 15th, 2008
Thanks for answering, Amba!
2:36 pm on September 15th, 2008
A Warren police officer says it is unlikely that charges will be filed.

Ruby your questions are answered number 3-6
2:39 pm on September 15th, 2008
What did I say??
2:56 pm on September 15th, 2008
GET SOME HELP THEN…. Ya think?
3:01 pm on September 15th, 2008
Amba – Any way for YOU to get custody of little Frank? Maybe you are more suited for the job that the coke head mom?? You are obviously a very loving person to come here and defend your dad. Maybe that is what your brother needs. No matter – It is so sad for that baby to be caught in such a crazy situation. I know that you feel like we are attacking your Dad, and that may be partly true. Fact is – He could have handled this differently and then none of us would be discussing here him. Sad but true.
3:03 pm on September 15th, 2008
Did you not read the entry number 21 click on it and read the article!!!
I dont CARE TO HEAR BAD THINGS ABOUT MY DAD I just hate when people try to debate but DO NOT know all the facts. And how do you know SHE has custody thte answer??? You dont know but thats fine UHHH I hate people who think they know everything!!!
Thanks Anyway!!!!
3:04 pm on September 15th, 2008
okay, first of all, fathers have every right to the child as the mother. Based on the article how do we know if the father isn’t a better choice then the mother? Becasue he physically assaulted her? Well, what is he showed up to see his son and she was cracked out and the baby was screaming and in a dirty diaper? Maybe he shoved her and screamed and took his son to a safer place. Unless he had no rights to his child this sn’t a kidknapping~~~I’m a mother and I’m telling you, we don’t have enough of the facts..
3:17 pm on September 15th, 2008
I would absolutly LOVE to have custody of my baby brother he is the sweetest child unfortunatly I have no rights to him in a legal aspect and I AM NOT just here defending my dad and I dont mind people having their OPINIONS but I do hate when people are very close minded.
3:18 pm on September 15th, 2008
You are the smartest person I have seen on here today you pretty much got the story right except he lives with the baby. Thank you for being a smart open minded person.
3:30 pm on September 15th, 2008
He should have went outside the house called police and told them that the Mother was on crack, and she has HIS child in the house. Cops & CPS would have responded. Guess what, he could have gotten custody right then and there.
Then he could use his legal rights as a Father and gain custody, at least until her problem is straightened out. It sounds to me that she wasn’t always like this. She needs help, and the sad part is now he will need it as well in the judges eyes. If he ever goes for custody…
3:30 pm on September 15th, 2008
Wow, you’re a mother? Because, you know, no one else on the DD is a mother. Okay, I’m joking, but anyone who carts an infant off in a CAR WITH NO CAR SEAT is not going to win a Parent of the Year award (no offense meant to Amba).
3:33 pm on September 15th, 2008
Amba – I am trying to be OPEN minded. I don’t know your dad’s situation. I had no idea that he lived with the baby. Did the mother live there also? That is why I think it is grand that you came here. You are the voice that can fill in the blanks so that we DON’T pass false judgement. BTW – in the case of your Dad and coke mom; if they were both on drugs, I would hope that would give you the right (legally) to step in. It would be better for him to be raised by family and you seem like you eould be a great candidate. Please don’t take this as me calling your Dad drug addicted. I have no idea… I was just throwing that out there. BTW – If you read back to my original post, I didn’t judge anyone. so I took offense to this statement:
3:47 pm on September 15th, 2008
Well, if I TRUELY felt that my child was in grave danger w/the other parent, I would take that child in my car down to the local walmart (5miles down the road) and get a car seat~honestly. We don’t know that he hasn’t obtained one by now. No, not the smartest thing in the world but drastic times call for drastic measures. Also, calling the police and waiting for them to arrive? No, not if I thought my child was in DANGER! I would do what I had to do to help my child. I am just being opened minded here. I mean a lot of these stories it is so OBVIOUS that the poepl eare wrong but this one…I question and will wait until all of the facts come out to start bashing the father…sorry~~
3:53 pm on September 15th, 2008
I agree. I would have done everything in my power to get my son out of a patentialy dangerous situation. We don’t have ALL the facts. That is why I am glad Amba is here. Now if we could just someone to speak on behalf of the mother, we’d be golden.
4:03 pm on September 15th, 2008
Yeah, because splitting town, is really gonna get the child out of Danger for a long time… That child will be back in with her now… That is even worse…He could of grabbed the child and went to the police station… Many other options..
Just so you know, my so called Mother was a nutjob, addicted to drugs & men… My father did it the smart way, and he was granted custody of me, and my brothers… So I speak from someone that went through this… We were in danger, from many things… He made sure that our present, & FUTURE were safe.
4:19 pm on September 15th, 2008
So the weight issue….. Not that I know anything about the boy’s father, but my husband is 6′9″ and only 175 pounds. Skinny as a rail. My step kids are the same way, the 10 yo is 5′3″ and only weighs 75 pounds. It’s in there genetics. (You wouldn’t believe how much they eat…lol)
4:42 pm on September 15th, 2008
HE DID HAVE A CAR SEAT…. HE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM HER SO WHEN HE DID HE STOPPED DOWN THE ROAD AND PUT HIM IN IT!!
4:46 pm on September 15th, 2008
yOU ARE JUST REALLY THE MOST JUDGEMENTAL PERSON ON HERE REALLY YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE BABY YOU JUST WANT TO BASH PEOPLE I MEAN SERIOUSLY BACK OFF!!
4:48 pm on September 15th, 2008
Amba – Have you heard anything? Has he brought the baby back? Is little Frank okay? Are they charging him or the coke mom with anything? Keep us posted. Try to keep in mind (also) that it’s human nature for people to be angry and jusge when they read a story like this. Like I said, that is why you are here… To fill in the blanks.
4:49 pm on September 15th, 2008
Amba, I wish you and your little brother a happy ending in all of this. I know in life tempers flair sometimes and people do things that they think is right at the time. Please keep in touch and let us know that he’s alright. Maybe something good will come for him in all of this. Good luck.
4:54 pm on September 15th, 2008
With all due respect, Amba – If you have an Amber Alert issued for you, you know that you made a big mistake. Now, it may not be the biggest mistake that could have been made, but your father could very well have guaranteed himself a lack of custody if they decide to file charges. You know what they say about good intentions paving the road to hell. Let’s just hope that everything ends well for everyone involved, assuming things are as you say they are.
Currently, I have a couple of associates consumed by custody struggles who are not going about it properly (withholding visitation and such). I realize the courts and police are uncomfortable to deal with, but it’s often worth the discomfort, as the determinations are mediated and supported by law.
5:00 pm on September 15th, 2008
Well I have to leave work now thank you guys for all your opinions and advice it has really helped me out.
5:03 pm on September 15th, 2008
Amba, I really hope everything turns out for the best for you and your family. I’m glad you came on here to give us more information. Sometimes you just read so many stories like this where the father takes the child to hurt the mother, and ends up hurting the child, that you automatically think they’re all like that. Thanks for reminding us that isn’t always the case.
The welfare of the child is the most important thing.
5:07 pm on September 15th, 2008
I have my half-brother (same dad, diff. mom) so I don’t see why you can’t get your half- brother.
yOU ARE JUST REALLY THE MOST JUDGEMENTAL PERSON ON HERE REALLY YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THE BABY YOU JUST WANT TO BASH PEOPLE I MEAN SERIOUSLY BACK OFF!!
I don’t think she was being judgemental. I see her point on this.
5:22 pm on September 15th, 2008
Amba, I am not saying these things to hurt anyone. Your father was trying to do a good thing here… I see that… I see that he LOVES his children (including you).. He could have left that baby there with that nutjob… I just worry about the childs future now…
Every action we take affects us… Sometimes, even when we are upset and can’t think straight, we have to take a step back… and solve the situation for good. That includes these parents when they get frustrated when a child won’t stop crying… Put the baby in a safe place, regain your composure… Than you can handle it better.. Never ever react out of anger… Only ends bad…
PS, I am always on a good Fathers side… I was saved by one…
6:38 pm on September 15th, 2008
Okay, good! Thanks for clearing that up. That does definitely make some difference to me.

Amba said:
Amba, no. You are upset, and so you are not listening to what MPRATT really said. MPRATT shared a personal story about his or her own parents that was very pertinent indeed, as it compares to situation at hand. MPRATT didn’t “judge” anyone in the way you’re saying. At the same time, that is what we do on this site, so you might as well realize it now: we are thinking people who form judgments from the evidence we have onhand. But MPRATT wasn’t saying anything but the truth: by doing what he did, no matter how good his intentions, your father has jeopardized his chances for being able to parent his baby. That’s a regrettable fact. We all do things in the heat of the moment that aren’t well thought-out. The fact that your father drove through a bunch of states and kept wilfully going long after he had time to REFLECT and think it over, does not sit well with anyone who is thinking clearly. So don’t yell. We all care, and we’re all sorry you’ve got this insanely upsetting situation to deal with.
6:43 pm on September 15th, 2008
I found one site that’s saying that the Amber Alert for Frank has been canceled and he’s been safely recovered–no details, though.
http://codeamber.org/deitschmi/mi_091508_1541_amber_alert_deitsch_canceled.html
7:07 pm on September 15th, 2008
Okay, I found another source reporting that Frank is in the custody of child protective services and will remain there until the investigation of the incident is completed.

Yay! That’s good news. Amba, if you are prepared (economically and domestically and psychologically) to care for this child, it may well happen that you will be doing that very thing. I hope for the best possible outcomes for everyone in your family: you, your little bro, your dad, your mom.
7:10 pm on September 15th, 2008
Now the baby might end up in the system for good. I hope not.
