The mother of a 15-year-old Thornton Heath girl who has been missing for two weeks has pleaded for the teenager to come home.

Jade Williams, of Galpins Road, was last seen on Friday, July 27.

She had gone to a fun day at the Phoenix Project in Wimbledon, which works with young people to prevent family breakdown, but when mum Thelma arrived to pick her up, Jade had already left.

There has been no sign of her since and the family is growing increasingly concerned.

Mrs Graham, 56, said: "Knowing the dangers there are outside, we are extremely worried. If we had any idea where she was, we would be banging on the door but at the moment it's like a wild goose chase."

Jade, who goes to St Mark's Academy in Mitcham, has gone missing a few times before.

She is known to have links to Brixton and Streatham, but her family does not have the addresses of anyone she knows there.

In an appeal to her daughter, Mrs Graham said: "We are missing you very, very much. Mum, dad, and your two brothers are extremely concerned about your whereabouts. Please phone home. Come home. There's no place like home. Put our heart at peace and for your own sake. You know we love you dearly. Walk straight through the door. It will always be open for you."

Jade is black, of medium build and about 5ft 4ins tall. She was last seen wearing dark blue jeans, a plain blue blouse, a black casual jacket and black boots.

She has black hair with a widow's peak, and wears a gold necklace with the initial J.

If you have seen Jade or know of her whereabouts, contact Wimbledon police station on 020 8947 1212 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
