A FATHER is at his wits end and is pleading with his 16-year-old daughter, who has been missing a week now, to return home.

The missing teen, Anna Christina Raghubansie

The teen, Anna Christina Raghubansie of Diamond, East Bank Demerara, was last seen wearing a green dress and a white jacket.

Her father, Mr. Christopher Raghubansie, explained that he and his wife are divorced and the girl, who is his eldest daughter, lives with him and spends holidays with her mother, with whom he has five other children.

He acknowledged that this is the second time the girl has left home, the first being when she ran away with a teenage boy.

“She is a good child; is just that she under the wrong influence,” the distraught father said.

He added that the boy’s mother condoned the behaviour of the teenagers and even refused to disclose their whereabouts the last time his daughter ran away.

“Is only when I had the mother lock up, then the boy come forward and the police get back my daughter,” he said.

He said that following the last incident, he sought the intervention of he Welfare Office of the Human Services and Social Security Ministry.

Anyone with information on the whereabouts on Anna Christina is asked to contact telephone numbers #646-2050, #643-6293, #216-1325 or the nearest police station.
