Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP125253)
On December 17, 2011, an infant named Aaron Wadke was last seen in Fort Lee, New Jersey. At the time of his disappearance, he was just a baby. The circumstances surrounding his case point to a parental abduction. It is understood that his mother took him to India. The child's father reported to the Fort Lee Police Department that he had given his wife permission to take their son to India for what he believed would be a short vacation.

Following the trip to India, Aaron and his mother did not return to the United States. He has since been living in India in the care of his mother. Over the years, there has been some contact between Aaron and his father. The father has been able to have video communication with his son, though the frequency and nature of this contact are not widely detailed in public sources. The case was officially reported to the Fort Lee Police Department on March 12, 2012.

The case of Aaron Wadke is a complex one, involving international borders and parental rights. While he is not considered to be in physical danger, he remains listed as a missing person due to the circumstances of his removal from the United States and his continued absence. The investigation is being handled by the Fort Lee Police Department. The case highlights the intricate and often painful nature of international parental child abduction, where a child is taken from their country of habitual residence by one parent without the consent of the other.
