Authorities have issued an Amber Alert, seeking a baby who was taken by his parents even though they had lost custody of him.

Michael Whalen, 42, and Danielle Boyle, 24, were supposed to turn 6-month-old Lucas Whalen over to a temporary custodian yesterday but failed to do so, said Sergeant Robert Bousquet, a State Police spokesman. Arlington police are looking for the trio.

Because of statements and threats made by Michael Whalen, there’s reason to believe that Lucas is in danger, police said.

Michael Whalen is a white male, 5-foot-9, 180 pounds, with dirty blonde hair and tattoos. Danielle Boyle is a white female, 5-foot-4, 135 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. Lucas weighs 25 to 30 pounds and has hazel eyes, police said.

The couple are believed to be driving a dark gray 2007 Ford 500 with Massachusetts license number 49RF83, Bousquet said.
