Police in the United States are hunting a “violent” dad after he went missing with his two young sons.
Gennaro Passaro has not been seen since saying he was taking his sons Federico Passaro, 5, and Biagio Passaro, 6, to California.
Police have issued an amber warning after the 49-year-old disappeared from Seattle with his two children.
Mr Passaro, who police say may be driving a white van, has allegedly made threats of harm, has violent tendencies and is known to abuse substances, Kiro 7 reports.
Police urged anyone who has seen Gennaro or his sons to call 911.
Five-year-old Federico and his six-year-old brother Biagio have been described as being around 4ft tall with blonde hair and blue eyes.
Their father Gennaro, who is also reportedly bipolar, is around 6ft tall and weighs around 90kg.
