fears that an unscrupulous woman has lured her to the interior to do “immoral work.”
The 15-year-old teenager, Anastacia Francis, who was a second form student at Camel’s Institute, disappeared from the school during her lunch break last Monday.
Her aunt, Megan Johnson, said that it is not the first time the teen disappeared but the sixth. She claimed that the last time her niece went missing; they found out that she was staying in the same village with a few friends.
“When she came home the police was gonna send her to the Juvenile Centre but we begged for her and she had promised that she will change her lifestyle,” Johnson said.
She added that her niece’s teacher questioned her classmates in relation to the teen’s disappearance and was informed that the teen was planning a trip to the interior with an unknown woman.
Kaieteur News understands that the woman has been contacting the teen by cellular phone and promising her employment in the interior.
The teen’s classmates revealed that she told them she will be paid a large sum of money for her labour.
It is believed that the teen might have been lured to the interior to become a sex slave. Police up to press time were questioning the teen’s classmates. The family is asking the public to contact them on 2615851, 6756588, 6769469 or the nearest police station if they see the teen.
