A Catford mum has issued a heartfelt appeal to find her 13-year-old son who has been missing for more than a week.

Rhys Moore-Campbell was last seen at approximately 2.30pm on September 29 after he left home to go to Mountsfield Park.

Shirlene Moore posted a video, which was later put on Twitter by Brixton actor Arnold Oceng, appealing to the public to help find her son.

She said: “Rhys you are somewhere out there please come home. It doesn’t matter what time it is, Rhys just please come home, you know mum will always open that door for you.

“I went into my son’s room to say goodbye as I was making my way to work. Rhys jumped out of bed and gave me a big hug and a kiss and said see you later.

“I did not know that would have been the last time I would have seen my son.”

Rhys is black, approximately 5ft 4inches tall, of slim build and is known to frequent the Bell Green area of Lewisham.

Rhys has been reported missing to police previously but has returned home after short while; he has not been missing for this length of time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Lewisham Missing Persons Unit via 101 or call the charity Missing People on 116000.
