*Popular food blogger Angela “The Kitchenista” Davis has taken to social media to plead for help in locating her missing 16-year-old son.
On Monday, the distraught mother shared a missing persons flyer on Twitter of her son Jaden Davis, noting that he disappeared over the weekend and hasn’t been seen since, PEOPLE reports.
“Urgent ask… Never thought I’d need to do this, but my son is missing in #Detroit and I need help locating. Jaden was last seen on Sat/22 in the Greenacres neighborhood,” Angela tweeted alongside the flyer.
“He attends Jalen Rose Leadership Academy,” she noted in a post on her Instagram account (see above). She added, “I recently changed my personal cell #, if you have it feel free to reach out or contact me on social. Jaden did not have his phone on him. I’m sorry that I can’t reply to everyone just trying to prioritize tips coming in. “

“I feel so helpless right now,” Angela tweeted. “Didn’t want to resort to this on social. It’s overwhelming. This is a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on any parent… just want my kid home.”
Complicating the matter further is that they are new to the Detroit area and Angela is worried about her son’s “mental health.”
“Please continue to do whatever you can,” Angela told her followers. “No need to ask, get the flier out wherever you can think to send it. I’m working with the Missing Child Org, but there is a lot of confusion at the police dept. about what they actually did so far.”
“We are new to the city and this is the most unimaginable thing. Jaden was last seen in Detroit since Sat morning, there is no activity on his social and he did not have his phone. I have reason to be concerned about his mental health,” Angela continued.
“Nothing prepares you for this,” she said, noting her frustration that the “Detroit Police have not been helpful..”
