10 Black and Latino teens from Washington, DC missing

Since Mar. 9, many users on Twitter & Facebook have been alerting the rest of the nation to the growing problem. The Washington D.C. Police Department and local media outlets also shared the names and profiles of the missing teens on Twitter in an attempt to help locate some of them, but for the most part, much of the media has not reported on it.

The recent report stems from a larger dilemma of missing children in Washington, DC in which FOX news reported on in January 2017.

Fortunately, two of the missing teens, Taylor Innis and Antwan Jordan, were found in good health, according to D.C. police department, but the whereabouts of many others are still unknown.

Currently, Talisha Coles, 16, Dayanna White, 15, Morgan Richardson, 15, Jacqueline Lassey, 15, Dashann Trikia Wallace, 15, Juliana Otero, 15  Yahashaiyah Enoch, 13, Aniya McNeil, and Amber Deshae Carter are still missing.
