Police in Georgia are desperately searching for a 2-year-old boy whose father claims he was abducted at gunpoint.

J’Asiah Deon Mitchell, 2, was kidnapped early Thursday in Panthersville, the DeKalb Police Department said in a statement to The Post.

He was last seen wearing Buzz Lightyear pajamas, investigators said.

J’Asiah was staying with his father Wednesday night, when he claims armed robbers took the child at gunpoint, the tot’s mother, Asia Mitchell, told Channel 2 Action News.

Police have not confirmed that information.

“A car pulled out in front of him and had him at gunpoint, and took my baby because they couldn’t take anything from him … that’s the story that him and his mom were telling me,” the distraught parent explained to the network.

Authorities are questioning J’Asiah’s father to get a better understanding of the situation, she claimed.

Mitchell also pleaded with the kidnappers to return her only child unharmed.

“I’ve been up crying, worrying. I’ve been praying,” she said.

“Please just bring my baby back home to me.”

J’Asiah may be traveling in a black sedan of unknown make and model, the outlet added.

“Please just bring my baby back home to me.”

As of Thursday afternoon, however, police have not released a name or description of the possible abductor.

“We are still actively working through the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping,” the DeKalb police told The Post, noting the Homicide Assault Unit is identifying possible witnesses.

“Our priority is locating J’Asiah safely while we continue to investigate the matter.”

The department was advised by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation that the case did not meet the criteria for an Amber Alert, the statement noted.
