The search for 12-year-old Jayden Smith, a missing schoolboy from Newport, Manchester, has escalated, with authorities deploying advanced resources including drones, cadaver dogs, and specialized personnel. Despite these efforts, no significant leads have been uncovered, leaving Jayden’s family in a state of distress and fear. Omar Thompson, Jayden’s uncle-in-law, has expressed his anguish over the situation, revealing that the family has been subjected to threats and misinformation since the boy’s disappearance on September 26. Thompson, who has been actively cooperating with the police, emphasized that the family has nothing to hide and is desperate for closure. He recounted Jayden’s last moments, recalling how he gave the boy lunch money before he left for school, only to vanish without a trace. Jayden, described as a bright and helpful child, was the valedictorian at his primary school’s graduation, a fact that adds to the family’s heartbreak. Ann-Marie Thompson, Jayden’s aunt, clarified misconceptions about the boy’s savings, stating that he had only withdrawn a small amount from a personal savings box to buy pizza. Meanwhile, law enforcement officials have warned the public against harboring missing children, emphasizing that such actions are punishable by law. The community remains on edge as the search continues, with authorities urging anyone with information to come forward.
