Jafet Jemmott, or Elijah as his friends call him, a 15-year-old student at Midwood High School, has been missing from his home in the Rockaways for over a week.

Jafet's family says the last confirmed location for him was at 6 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 28. He was seen leaving their home on their security cameras.

Federico Jemmott, Jafet's father, says Jafet wanted to go shopping at a thrift store in Brooklyn, and then to the Kings Plaza Mall with his friends. He says they got into an argument about it the night before.

While they assumed he had just left early to go anyway, they saw through an app that his phone only had 5% battery remaining when he left the house, and by the time they tried to call him, it was too late.

As the day and night went on and they had not heard from him, they started getting worried. His friends say he never showed up.

The family says workers at the YMCA near their home saw someone matching his description looking like they were about to get on the Q52 bus a little after Jafet left the house. They said they were able to see he got a few messages on WhatsApp two hours before leaving the house.

Federico says that Jafet would never normally take the Q52, so he is wondering if his son met someone online who lured him away.

"You keep going through thoughts of what might have happened to him - is he alive? Is he not?" Jafet said. "I really want to tell him that I love him."

The family has been putting up flyers anywhere he might have been, in hopes someone recognizes him to help narrow down their search. On Saturday, they posted flyers on the entire Q52 bus route, leaving them at every stop.

Anybody with any information is asked to call the NYPD's Crimestoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
