12-year-old boy missing after bath

Israel Critchlow of 7 Simpson Brown Terrace, Cocoyea, who is a standard five student of St Paul’s Anglican Primary School, was last seen by his mother on Thursday morning.

A family member who asked to remain anonymous said his mother woke Critchlow and told him to take a bath.

Noticing she had not heard from him in a while, she then went to the bathroom, only to find it empty. Up to press time yesterday, he had not been found.

The relative said Critchlow’s disappearance has traumatised the family, who has been searching for him frantically ever since.

He is of mixed descent, four foot eight inches tall, with a brown complexion and a lowcut hairstyle. Anyone whoknows where he might be is asked to call 800-TIPS or contact the police at 555, 999, 911 or any police station.
