Clayton County authorities are reaching out to the community in the search for a missing teenager, whose disappearance has sparked a Mattie's Call, Georgia's version of an AMBER Alert for endangered elderly or disabled individuals. Seventeen-year-old Rontavious Singleton, who has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, has been missing since Sunday evening, as FOX 5 Atlanta reported.
Singleton was last seen on Pine Shoals Court in Atlanta. The Clayton County Police have detailed the teen as standing 6-feet-1-inch tall and weighing around 120 pounds. He was wearing a gray Nike hoodie, gray pants, a black puffer jacket, and black and white Jordan sneakers when he was last seen, as Atlanta News First stated. The teen's absence is particularly alarming given his mental health conditions, which could add complexity, and urgency to the search efforts.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding Singleton's whereabouts to come forward. The community plays a critical role in locating missing individuals, particularly those who may be vulnerable due to health issues.
Officials are asking the public to call 911 or the Clayton County Police Department at (770) 477-3747 with any leads. The importance of spreading the word to friends and family can't be overstated, as a collective effort could be crucial in bringing Rontavious Singleton back to safety.
