Mom worried about missing teen

When Chevenese Robinson took her son Davion Lyons, 16, to board a bus in the Mandeville bus park in Manchester on January 5, she gave him strict instructions to go straight to his father's home in Montego Bay, St James. However, the teenager has not been seen since and his family is worried sick.

"I told the bus driver not to let him off until he reaches the bus park in MoBay. When I call his stepmother, she told me he didn't reach home, but the bus driver told me that he let him off in MoBay as I had asked him to. I called back on Friday and he still wasn't home, so I made a report at [the] Mandeville Police Station. I am asking anyone who knows where he is, to get in contact with the nearest police station or get in contact with us," she said.

Speaking with THE STAR yesterday, Robinson described Davion as being unruly and said she is seeking the intervention of the State to curb his behaviour.

"Him father have him and him nah hear, and is the same problem I have with him. I would want some form of intervention. Him nah listen, and him just nah take nuh talk from nobody. Mi sidung and talk to him about how times are going. His father and stepmother do the same thing, and him still nah listen. Everybody talk to him and him nah hear. Mi would want [the] Government to take him or help us, because mi can't manage him. Everybody a say nothing nuh do him and him alright, but he is 16 and underage. Plus, he is very rude, so anything can happen to him ," she said.

Davion, who is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, is of dark complexion and was last seen wearing a brown, blue and white T-shirt, light blue jeans and a pair of white sneakers. Robinson said Davion lived with his father and stepmother in Montego Bay, but he has been under her care since last September.

"It wasn't his dad that sent him. He took away his stepmother's money and he came to where mi is. He was reported missing and the police called me, and I told them he was with me," she said.

"He is very unruly and I cannot manage him. The day before I sent him home, I called the Mandeville police and they instructed me to call CDA (now Child Protection and Family Services Agency) and I did that, and they told me that if he gives any more trouble than what I reported, I should call them back," she added.

Anyone knowing the whereabouts of Davion Lyons can contact the Mandeville police at 876-962-2250 or the nearest police station.
