The mum of a 17-year-old boy who has been missing for over a month says the family are “waiting with wide open arms” in a heart wrenching appeal for him to come home.
Deante, from Enfield is said to have links across east London in Romford, Dagenham, Hackney and Ilford, as well as Earl’s Court.
The teenager has been missing since he left his home at around 11pm on March 31.
THIS STORY HAS BEEN UPDATED AS DEANTE HAS SINCE BEEN FOUND. HIS IMAGES AND FURTHER DETAILS HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
CCTV then showed him in The Courtfield Pub in Earl’s Court Road on April 3 at around 8pm, and further footage showed him at a McDonald’s in the area.
Police have viewed over 18 hours of CCTV footage in a wide search to look for the boy, and it’s believed he is not carrying a mobile phone.
Deante’s mother, said in a desperate message: "You are not in any trouble, you are missed beyond words! We are desperate to know you are okay, and all your family are waiting with wide open arms and heart!
“If anyone has seen my son or has any information please contact the police or us immediately. We are desperate for your help.
“Every piece of information matters. He is very vulnerable as of recent and just want him home so he can get the love, help and support he desperately needs. All our lives are on standstill until he is home safe.”
Detective Chief Inspector Elsa Mak, from the missing person's team in north London, said: "Deante has been missing for more than a month as we are increasingly concerned for his welfare.
“He has not been in contact with any of his family or friends and left without any traceable items which means we have limited opportunity to identify his movements.”
