A mum has issued an emotional appeal after her 16-year-old daughter went missing on Sunday.
Brooke Maddern was last seen at about 5pm on Sunday, with mum Justine Trevaskis saying she suffers with "mental health issues and is extremely vulnerable.
"Her name is Brooke Maddern and was last seen in Redruth at 5pm and has not been seen since. Police are involved and are looking for her."
She said she has tried Brooke's friends but there has been no sign of the youngster, reports Cornwall Live.
"It is out of character for her," she added. "She may storm off as any teenager but have never been absent for more than a few hours. She left her home in Redruth (she lives with her dad) at 5pm Sunday evening.
"She said she was seeing a friend.
"We have contacted all her friends and been driving round looking for her. The homeless shelter in Redruth has her picture also. We are just so worried as she is at risk of exploitation."
Brooke has shoulder length dark hair and wears glasses.
Justine said the family are desperate to know if she is okay.
She said: "Me and her dad just need to know she is safe and well, even if she doesn't want to come home for whatever reason, we just need to know she is okay and not hurt or in any danger."
Anyone with information about Brooke's whereabouts should contact Devon and Cornwall Police on 101 quoting quote log number 859 of February 10, 2020 or email 101@dcpolice.co.uk.
