NFL player's son vanishes with parents 'minutes' after leaving grandmother's house amid claims sportsman 'beat' child

A young lad of just 14 has mysteriously disappeared mere moments after stepping out from his nan's house , she told.

The kid, Bryson Muir, whose dad is former Colts footballer Daniel Muir , was last seen in the Cleveland area a fortnight back, the coppers have said. When his gran Cheryl Wright went to collect him from Toledo on his mum's say-so, the boy had marks on his face.

His grandma shared: "He just said that his dad did it, but he wasn't angry, but he wasn't angry at his father. He told me that he deserved it and it was OK. So I told him that it wasn't and that nobody should beat their children like that, not if they love them."

Ms Wright claimed that when she arrived to collect Bryson, there were three people in the motor - his mother, father and some bloke man to her. In the end, only he and she took the journey back to her place in Cleveland.

She said: "She just told me I need to pick him up and because this is an ongoing case, I don't want to say everything that happened during our conversation, but she just told me that I needed to come get him."

But then, not long after, the boy was picked up by his mom, dad and the other adult. At this point, the concerned grandmother rang the police.

The police later stopped the car, but the teenager was no longer in the vehicle.

When asked about what might have occurred to the 14-year-old within such a brief span of time, Wright suggested that the "only thing that police officers told [her] is that they probably put him into another vehicle and that car drove off."

In a concerning update, Bryson Muirs grandmother has circulated an image depicting the alleged mistreatment of the teenager to Indiana State Police investigators. As of Friday afternoon, reports indicate that Kristin and Daniel Muir, Bryson's mother and father, are no longer engaging with investigative authorities.

Initially, the Muirs had given their permission for Bryson to have a discussion with the officials on Friday at 12 p. m.

Authorities said that the Muirs retracted their compliance just one hour before the arranged encounter was meant to take place. Ms Wright conveyed her concern: "Bryson is, I believe, somewhere else and they just don't want to bring him back, maybe they don't want the police to see his face."

She elaborated on her distress over the situation: "I think it's almost been two weeks now, but I'm sure those injuries are still there Bryson is, I believe, somewhere else and they just don't want to bring him back, maybe they don't want the police to see his face. I think it's almost been two weeks now, but I'm sure those injuries are still there."

Before the meeting was due to take place, police were unable to get hold of Bryson's parents, sparking whispers that their "cult-like" church could be implicated. The Servant Leader's Foundation, believed to be affiliated with the family's church, owns both the land where the Muir family lives and the car Bryson was last seen getting into at his gran's house, the cops have disclosed.
