Patrick, nicknamed Lil Pee, was allegedly last seen in the New York City borough of Brooklyn at around 9:00 p.m. on January 22, 2010. He had been placed in a foster home in the Spring Creek Development complex, also known as Starrett City, three weeks before. The Spring Creek Development is in 100 block of Vandalia Avenue. (I'm not sure if the development is on Vandalia Avenue or not, I've found conflicting information online.)
Patrick allegedly told his foster mother, Librada Moran, that he planned to run away to rejoin his biological mother, Jennifer Rodriguez. A photo of Rodriguez is posted with case summary. Patrick was allegedly last seen assisting Moran with household chores; he allegedly took out the trash and never came back. He has never been heard from again.
Rodriguez, who lives in the New York City borough of Staten Island, lost custody of Patrick and his four-year-old sister for alleged neglect. She reportedly knew the address of his foster home, and her aunt claims she had threatened to kidnap Patrick.
A few days after Patrick's disappearance, a judge ordered her to present her son at a family court hearing. Rodriguez didn't do so, stating she didn't have Patrick and didn't know where he was. She was briefly jailed for contempt, then released after she passed a polygraph test.
She still maintains her innocence in her son's disappearance, stating she believed he ran away and is hiding somewhere. Various other members of Patrick's family, including people as far away as Maryland and Florida, have been investigated in his case. Several of Patrick's relatives have accused each other of hiding him.
In October 2010, Rodriguez filed a federal lawsuit against New York City, the Administration for Children's Services (ACS), Patrick's foster mother and the foster parents' apartment complex. She alleged that the ACS took Patrick from her custody without sufficient cause, and that they were negligent when they placed him in an allegedly unfit foster home instead of with relatives, such as his father.
Rodriguez alleged that Moran couldn't communicate with Patrick because she didn't speak English and he didn't speak Spanish, and that Patrick had repeatedly tried to run away, attacked his foster siblings, and even threatened to harm himself after he was placed in Moran's home. The Charley Project does mention that Patrick had ADHD and was experiencing severe emotional problems.
A federal judge threw out the suit in March 2011, but ruled that Rodriguez could sue individual caseworkers and St. Vincent's Services, the child care agency in charge of Patrick's case.
In 2013, Rodriguez amended her filing to include a claim alleging her son's wrongful death. She stated she filed the suit to get answers in her son's disappearance. Patrick's father has filed a similar federal lawsuit, although he hasn't amended his complaint to allege wrongful death.
Patrick may still be in the Brooklyn area.
His story and almost everyone in it all seem incredibly fishy, and although it hurts my heart to say it, I do think he encountered foul play. I thought I should bring some attention to it all these years later. I very much hope he is found.
His case deserves attention. Patrick matters.
