The teenage son of a veteran New York journalist is missing after running away from a Long Island drug rehab center last week.
Carol D’Auria, a reporter at 1010 WINS, tweeted Sunday that 16-year-old Joseph suffers from depression, has “suicide thoughts,” and “needs meds.”
“I’m beside myself. I’ll do anything to have my son back,” she told the Post. “I just want him home so he gets better.”
NYPD brass sent out supportive tweets
“C’mon kid. Get Home. Be safe,” said Zach Tumin, an NYPD’s deputy commissioner.
A missing person report has been filed with the Suffolk police.
D’Auria’s tweet includes a picture of her son with hair to his shoulders. His mom says it’s shorter now.
