Police concerned for welfare of teenage mother missing with her five day old baby

An urgent appeal has been launched after a teenager mother and her five-day-old baby went missing from a London hotel.

Roxana has not been seen since Saturday night and police say they have concerns for her welfare.

They are urging people to get in touch if they can help with her whereabouts.

The 19-year-old was last seen with her baby as they left a hotel in Barking, East London on Saturday at about 8pm, reports My London.

Barking and Dagenham ’s Metropolitan Police account tweeted on Sunday evening: “Roxana, 19, is - last seen leaving a hotel in Highbridge Road around 20:00hrs on 29 Jan, with her baby – blvd around 5 days old

.“Roxana blvd wearing dark coloured cheetah print joggers, white polo t-shirt & dark zip up jumper, carrying Sports Direct bag.”

It continued: “Police are concerned for Roxana & her child’s welfare – call 101 ref 22MIS003380 if seen.”

A clear photograph of the young mother was posted on the site.

The Government website states that there are a number of alternative organisations for reporting a missing person.

These include Missing Persons Unit, Missing People, Missing Kids UK, and Look For Them.

It continues: "If the police find a person aged under 18, their parents or guardians will usually be told their whereabouts unless police believe the child’s safety is at risk.

"If the person is aged over 18, the police will not pass on their whereabouts without their permission.

“If you spot a missing person contact the police.

“If you want to remain anonymous, you can contact Missing People to report the sighting .”
