A vulnerable teenager who went missing from a facility she was staying at has been found safe 13 days after a appeal was launched.

Mya Recardo, from Beckenham, had not been seen since leaving the facility she was staying in on Sunday, September 17.

Scotland Yard said her family feared she was at risk of exploitation.

Mya Recardo, 16, was found safely in east London on September 30.

Mya's mum previously told News Shopper: “She has epilepsy and has some social and communication difficulties which make her seem a little different from everyone else, sometimes people are unkind and it makes life hard and makes her very depressed."

The Met thanked the public for helping with the appeal
