THE mother of Danika King, 14, who has been missing since last Friday, is appealing for her safe return home.

Shimika Williams, a mother of six, told Guyana Chronicle that she misses her daughter and wants her home since it is difficult for her siblings to cope without her.

King had left home for Naraine’s Bakery on Sheriff Street to buy snacks even though she had no reason to do so since food and snacks were in the house.

After more than an hour had passed and she did not return home, a search was launched for her but to no avail.

Williams added that Danika did not take her school uniform but she packed some clothes and sneakers and apparently left home with same undetected.

The mother related that she suspected that her daughter had been planning to leave home for some time after she checked her clothes and observed some were missing.

The Tutorial High School student has never left home for long and her mother believes she was encouraged to do so.

Williams in a bid to locate her daughter has obtained her cell phone records and will hand over same to the police.

According to the mother, her daughter is an average teenager and could be rebellious at times.

Williams is appealing to members of the public to assist her in any way possible to locate her daughter who was last seen leaving her Campbellville, Georgetown home dressed in a flowered dress.
