A mother from Seine Bight village came to out studio this afternoon in distress- that's because her daughter has gone missing. She is 14 year old Drina Stevens, a second former at George Town Technical High School. The family says that the last time any of them saw her was last week Wednesday. Now with almost 7 days since her disappearance the family is desperate. Her mother recounted the last time she saw her daughter.
Laverne Arzu, Mother
"Every morning I usually wake them up before I go to work. I woke her up that day and then I woke the rest of the children to go and check if she go to school. That day they saw her change up, pick up her bag and went off towards the bus. So they saw her going towards the bus, but they didn't see if she had gotten on the bus. They thought she was in the bus and that she went to school, but then afterwards when the bus came in the evening, my brother went and wait for the bus to see when she comes off. But apparently he didn't see her come off, so he walk home and asked me if she came home already. I told him that she didn't reach home as yet. He says that he came to check, because he thought I had overlooked her. I told him that she didn't reach."
She placed a police report of a missing child but Arzu claims the police are not being very cooperative with her. Now with regards of her whereabouts, according to Arzu, the last thing they heard was that she had run away to Dangriga with bad company. In desperation she made a public plea to anyone that might know anything that might lead her to Drina.

"Well I want to say to everyone out there whosoever is tolerating her, because she didn't went with any clothes - whosoever is feeding her and giving her clothes and if anyone sees her, to please help me and send her home for me, even If I have to pay the transportation back - whatever was spent on her, please send back Drina, because she is only 14 years old and she is in school. She doesn't need to be out there, because we all are parents. We are not supposed to be tolerating children under-age to be anywhere. From the time you see children under-age, you supposed to send them home. All parents should be concerned about those kind of children, because you should all know how I feel right now, sleepless nights, I can't even sleep, I can't even eat - I feel weak where I am. I try hard for my children and everybody in Seine Bight knows that."
If you see 14 year old Drina Stevens you are being asked to call the nearest police station or to call the family at 602-6213.
