UPDATE: Missing teen found

Charles has not been seen since Monday evening her mother said

A teenager who was reported missing by her mother has been found, DNO can confirm.

Leon Benoit had told DNO that Latoya Charles was last seen on Monday evening.

On Tuesday morning she appealed for assistance from the public in locating her.

She said Charles, 14, left home in Gutter Village around 6:30 on Monday for the grandmother’s home. It was something she did regularly.

She stated that around 9:00 pm she got information that the teenager was not seen.

Benoit said she hurried to her mother’s home to investigate what was going on.

“I was told that she was sitting on a step with a nephew,” she recounted. “She sent the nephew for a bath and after that, she was not seen.”

She stated that when Charles left home she was wearing a white vest and blue short pants.

She is now happy that the teenager has been found safe.

    ‘Praise God she is safe. I don’t need details once she is safe. Advice: but her a phone at least you can know her whereabouts. Let her know that she must let you know where she after some time. Children like to give us heart attack . I won’t sleep if its my daughter. I know they joy you feel. Let her know how painful it is mom. God be praise she is safe

      Buy her a phone so you can know her whereabouts? You dont need to buy a 14 year old a phone to know their whereabouts pal.
