ORIGINAL STORY DEC. 3:

Police in Gwinnett County need the public's help in finding a missing 7-year-old.

The Gwinnett County Police Department believes Quamaine Finch is with his mother's boyfriend, 42-year-old Ricardo Medy.

Police are urging Medy, who they said claims to have Finch with him unharmed, to surrender.

The Division of Family and Children's Services was awarded custody of Finch when his mother was taken into custody in Fulton County last week.

A Special Victims Unit detective has issued an arrest warrant for Medy.

Anyone who knows the location of Finch or Medy is urged with GCPD detectives 770-513-5300. Tipsters can contact Crime Stoppers anonymously at 404-577-TIPS (8477).
