A “soft and sensitive” teenager who went missing eight days ago from Rainham has returned home.

Amaariah, who also goes by the name Noah, was missing since last week Tuesday (February 24).

In an update today (March 4) by his mother and the Metropolitan Police, he has been found.

There was a deep concern for the 14-year-old boy’s wellbeing due to the length of time and his autism and ADHD.

Appeals were spread wide after his mother and family members desperately shared messages to the Romford Recorder calling for his return.
