Authorities on Thursday issued an Amber Alert for a missing three-year-old boy who apparently was taken from Northeast Georgia Medical Center (search).
Gainesville police say Lawonia Pinson Hoose of Cleveland left the hospital about 4:30 p.m. Thursday with her great-nephew — Isaac Hoose — saying she was taking him to McDonald's. She was supposed to return him to his mother.
Police said no one has seen the two since an employee of the fast-food restaurant (on Jewell Parkway) reported seeing them leaving the restaurant about 7:30 p.m.

Officers said the woman has been off her medication for about two weeks and that she may be a danger to herself and the child.
The two were last seen in a 1992 gray-green Eagle Talon with a loud muffler.
Police says the child is three feet tall and weighs 40 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes.
