Ashley 'Omar' Joseph - Contributed

Opal Henry is a very worried woman because her son Ashley Joseph has not been seen since February 6, after he left his home at 12 Clifton Road, Kingston 13, for an unknown destination.

The mother of the 15-year-old told THE STAR that her concern has multiplied since the teenager is scheduled to return to the Family Court this week for an ongoing case.

She added that Joseph, who is also called Omar, was at a juvenile facility but was released into her custody by the Family Court. If he does not return to court, she will have to pay the court $35,000.

"If him nuh come back for me to take him to court, then it is a lot of money that I will be made to pay," she said.

The mother mentioned that the wayward teen is not in school but said plans were in place for him to return.

Henry said that from recent observation, Joseph has developed strange behaviour and cannot be trusted.

Joseph is about six feet tall, of clear complexion and was wearing a black suit when he was last seen. A missing person's report had been made to the police.
