Missing Queens Teen's Desperate Search Continues as Family Plea for Information
A search for 15-year-old Jafet Jemmott, who vanished from his home in Queens last month, is gaining momentum. The teen, a high school student with excellent grades, was last seen leaving his Arverne apartment on November 28th around 6am after an argument with his father over money to go shopping.
According to police and the boy's family, Jemmott had planned to meet friends at the Kings Plaza Mall in Brooklyn, but he never arrived. His parents tracked his phone signal until it went dead over the Cross Bay Bridge, suggesting he took the local Q52 bus from his neighborhood.
Jaffe's father, Federico, expressed concerns that his son might have encountered danger and urged anyone with information to come forward. "If he's not being held by someone that's not allowing him to speak, then he should reach out to his family and know that his family miss him and that they love him," he said.
Desperate for leads, the NYPD is appealing to the public for help finding Jemmott, who stands 5'6" with brown eyes and black hair. He was last seen wearing a black sweater, black pants, and white sneakers.
Those with information are encouraged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or submit tips online. The family's heartfelt plea emphasizes the importance of community involvement in Jemmott's search. As the investigation unfolds, officials remain hopeful that they will find the missing teen and bring him home safely.

... 15 years old, just like my cousin who used to love shopping at Kings Plaza back in the day... they had those awesome Sam Goody stores where you could buy CDs and posters for like a million bucks 
. Anyway, back to Jaffet - it's crazy how his phone signal died over the Cross Bay Bridge... reminds me of that one time my friend got on the wrong bus in Brooklyn Heights and ended up in Astoria 
.
I hope the NYPD finds some leads soon. It's so important to have a community come together like this. I've been thinking about checking out that new volunteer center in Astoria that helps with missing persons cases... maybe there's something they can do to help Jaffet's family right now 
.
he needs our help pls we gotta keep an eye out for him especially if he took the q52 bus from arverne to kings plaza mall that's not too far but still kinda scary fam what if someone did something to him 
anyway lets spread the word and share his pic around let's get some info for jafet's family 
. It feels like they're just now jumping into high gear. Shouldn't Jafet's parents be more worried about their own son than trying to figure out where he is?
I'm getting chills thinking about Jafet's situation... 15 and already dealing with a dad fight? That's messed up
