Girl, 14, runs off with conductor boyfriend
Nickita Skeete, a 14-year-old student of St Winefride’s Secondary School, left her mother’s Bel Air Village home on Saturday to spend the weekend with her father but never showed up at his Star Street, Albouystown residence.
The mother, Sharon Richards, said that it was only Sunday evening that she realised that something was amiss when the teen did not return home from her father’s at the usual time.

Becoming alarmed, Richards went by the child’s father and there it was revealed that the girl did not visit her father for the entire weekend.
Richards explained that from Skeete’s actions and from information gathered she believes that her daughter has run away from home with a bus conductor name Kester Dee, who works the Kitty/ Campbellville route.
The frustrated woman stated that she was oblivious to the teen’s relationship and only became aware on Monday when she questioned one of her daughter’s friends. Richards recounted that she was informed of her daughter’s plans to go to the creek with the bus conductor and friends over the weekend when she was supposed to visit her father.
The mother stated that the friend told her that she saw the conductor on Saturday. She said that the man asked her if she was going to the creek and she answered in the negative. She said that he then told her that he was going to pickup Skeete.
The woman noted that her daughter planned this get away well. Richards stated that the teen told her that her father’s phone was not working and that she would only make contact with her if his girlfriend was at his house.
However, on the said Saturday, the teen accompanied by two women visited her father’s girlfriend at Stabroek Market and asked her for money stating she wanted to buy something for her dad.
The woman then volunteered the child a phone call to her dad but the witty teen refused and stated that she wanted to surprise him.
Richards claims that Nickita has no problems at home and is given money daily to attend school. But the teen has had a troubled school life.
Richards stated that it was also discovered that Skeete was suspended from school on Thursday and was supposed to return on Tuesday. The teen and two other girls were behind the school on a cellular phone while school was in session.
The child told teachers at the school that her mother was out of the country and spent the entire Friday in the School’s Welfare Department.
The teen has also had a violent history. Owing to constant fights she was removed from the Dolphin Secondary School and from extra lessons that she was taking.
The matter was reported to the police and the parents were told that they should look into the matter. Richards noted that she will have the teen’s friend make a sketch of the conductor and hand it over to the police because her daughter is a minor.
The mother is asking anyone who knows anything about the child to call the following numbers: 219-1311, 219-0512, and 615-5228.
