SPARTANBURG, SC --
Spartanburg Dispatch says the Sheriff's office has dogs out searching for a one-year-old child that has been missing since 1:30PM Friday.
The Sheriff's Office says Spartanburg County Communications Center received a call about a missing child in the Cross Anchor area of Spartanburg County.
They say they were told the child had opened a door off of the kitchen of the residence and wandered away.
The family says the child's name is Jason Elijah Burton.
The Burton is described as a 21 month old white male, 20 lbs., blonde hair, brown eyes, wearing a white in color long sleeve pajama top and yellow in color Sponge Bob shorts.
The Sheriff’s Office currently has 17 deputies in the area that are searching for the child.
This includes a K-9 tracking team as well as the Sheriff’s Office helicopter. Officers from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and local Fire Departments are assisting in the search as well.
A “Reverse 911 Notification” of residences in the area is about to take place. If anyone happens to see a child matching this description in the Cross Anchor area of East Blackstock Road and South Carolina Highway 56 you are asked to call 911 immediately.
Concerned citizens are asked not come into the search area at this time to avoid contaminating any scent trails the child has left and also hindering the use of heat seeking equipment onboard the Sheriff’s Office helicopter.
