Deputies say the duo were spotted on Thursday in Lyons National Bank in Penn Yan, Yates County, as Leroy Newswanger withdrew cash.

According to New York's missing child database criminaljustice.ny.gov, the boy was on State Route 245 with his father in the hamlet of Stanley, Ontario County around 11 a.m. Thursday.

Deputies said Leroy Newswanger has an extensive mental health history.

Glenn, who weighs 25 pounds and is approximately two feet tall, currently has hand, foot and mouth disease, and has blisters around his mouth. He was last seen wearing wearing tan pants, black sneakers, plaid shirt and a navy winter coat.

Leroy Newswanger was last seen in a maroon button-down shirt and was driving a 2005 blue Chevrolet Silverado pickup with a blue cap over the bed and New York registration 88359MJ.

Anyone with information about the Newswangers' whereabouts is asked to call deputies at (585) 394-4560 or 911.
