Teenager disappears after leaving for school on Friday
A 16-year-old student of La Bonne Intention Secondary (LBI) on the East Coast of Demerara (ECD) has been reported missing since Friday last, after she left her uncle’s home.
Felisha Singh, who resides at Good Hope, ECD, had left home in the morning to attend school. After she did not return, her uncle went over to the school to pick her up but she was nowhere around.
An aunt of the missing teenager explained that the teen’s father died while her mother left some time ago. Singh and her five other siblings were staying with her grandmother in Good Hope but recently moved in with an uncle at Chateau Margot, ECD.
“Since they are babies, they have been living with the grandparents but she left a few months back to live with her father’s brother. School had reopened so she went there to stay. On Friday, she left for school and after the time pass and she didn’t come home, he decided to get her but they didn’t,” she shared.
The relative shared that the teen would usually disappear whenever she is reprimanded, but would make contact after to indicate that she was safe. This time around, they did not receive any call. The family has no indication as to where she might be.
“They give us problems and when we try to caution them, they would run away. This went too far because when she run away, she would make contact or we would have to go look for her,” she added.
