Police in south-east Essex are seeking the help of the public to locate a 14-year-old boy who is missing from care.

Kai Jager went missing from foster care in Takeley at the end of July. He was found in Southend on August 16 but made off from social workers who were returning him to foster care.

Heis 5’6”, small build, with short, dark brown hair. He sometimes chooses to speak with a Liverpudlian accent. Whilst Kai is often described as being ‘worldly wise’ his age means that he is still considered vulnerable and could come to harm.

Anyone with information that could assist in locating Kai is asked to call police at Rayleigh on 101 or 0300 333 4444.
