Ohio Attorney General: “If it’s one child that’s missing, that’s one child too many.”

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Ohio’s ‘Top Cop’ is speaking up about the number of missing children in Northeast Ohio.

This comes as investigators continue to search for Keshaun Williams, who’s been missing for almost 6 months.

Saturday December 9 was his 16th birthday and the teen should be celebrating but he’s still missing.

His mother and family members are heartbroken.

“I miss your smile, I want to hear your voice. Keshaun if you see this, please come home,” said Sherice Snowden, Keshaun’s mother.

Family members of Keshaun Williams held a press conference last month.

The U.S. Marshals and an anonymous community member have pledged even more reward money for information leading to the whereabouts of missing teen Keshaun Williams.

The reward money is now at $22,500.

The 15-year-old Cleveland boy was last seen June 17 after attending a party on Gertrude Avenue in the city’s Broadway Slavic Village neighborhood.

Keshaun’s case has now become Ohio’s longest active Amber Alert.

Williams is 5 feet, 7 inches with black hair in braids and brown eyes.

On the day he went missing, he was wearing black jogging pants and a t-shirt with red and gray Jordan sneakers.

Investigators are convinced somebody out there knows something that can help bring him home.

In the meantime, Attorney General Yost says all parents need to be more involved.

“You’ve got to know what’s going on with them. Particularly with their social media because that’s where the danger lies. It isn’t lurking in the shrubs, the danger is in the cell phone, it’s in the tablet, it’s on their computer. You’ve got to know what’s going on with them,” said Yost.

If you have information that could help locate Williams, please contact Cleveland Police at 216-623-5400 or 911.
