The teenaged Agricola boy, Nkosei Williams, who had been missing since Saturday night last, was found by one of his mother’s nephews yesterday morning at the Stabroek Market. After the 15-year-old boy was found, he was immediately taken to the Ruimveldt Police Station.
The boy’s mother, Shaundel Williams, said that since he had been taken into police custody, she had only spoken to him once and had asked him where he had been sleeping since he ran away from home.
The boy told her that he had been sleeping at the Stabroek Market.
According to reports, the boy has since been placed in a cell at the Ruimveldt Station. According to Shaundel, her son will remain there until tomorrow, after which she will take him back home. “I left him there because he is playing him self a big man,” she said.
This is the fourth time that Nkosei has run away from home.
His mother had previously threatened to send Nkosei to the New Opportunity Corps if he ran away from home again. In spite of these threats, she said, and because many people had begged for him, she would not send him to the NOC, but affirmed that she would if he ran away again.
“I am going to give him one more chance,” she said.
The boy had jumped through a window and escaped into the night, after he received a sound thrashing from his mother last week Saturday.
“He doesn’t hear when you talk to him, and he always wants to do his own thing,” said the boy’s mother, as she explained that she beat him for not listening to her.
Shaundel said that when her son took flight, she was not overtly worried or concerned, as he had run away from home three times previously. Over the past few days, the boy’s mother became worried because “he had never stayed away from home for so long before.”
While the boy was missing, some residents of Agricola said that they had seen him and that he had spoken to them.
