A Pembroke Pines mother and 4-year-old son are missing as a court has ordered the boy be removed from her custody, Pines cops say.

Monday afternoon, Pines police released a photo of 43-year-old Nicole Rosenthal, 5-foot-5, 230-pound woman who might be with 4-year-old Michael Ramsey.

According to Pines police, Rosenthal left a voluntary program at the Susan B. Anthony Recovery Center. Though the program was voluntary, cops say, not complying with the program prompted Florida Department of Children and Families to get a court order to have Michael taken from her custody.

“All attempts to locate them have been unsuccessful,” Pines police said in a release.

The boy was last seen Jan. 28 with Rosenthal.

No criminal charges have been filed yet in this case.

Anyone with information on where Rosenthal or Michael might be can call 911 or Pines police at 954-431-2200.
