THE parents of a 15-year-old Birchleigh boy are frantically looking for their son after he went missing on Saturday.

Danté Meyer was last seen by his father in the early hours of Saturday morning. Meyer’s father had gone to check up on his children at about 5am in their Karee Street home.

“But by 7am his sister came to wake us up to tell us her brother was not in his bed,” his mother, Zirkia Buurman, told EXPRESS.

The grade 8 Panorama learner had made his bed and left without saying anything.

“We contacted his friends, the school and all our family members to check if he had gone there but no one knew his whereabouts. And he also doesn’t have a cellphone.”

A missing persons case was opened  at Norkem Police Station on Saturday night. Police are investigating the case.

Danté was wearing light blue jeans, his black school shoes and a light grey corduroy jacket. He has blue eyes, is of medium height and built. He also shaved off all his hair just before schools opened.
