A West Belfast mum has made an appeal for her missing son to come home.
The family of Ciaran Sadlier, 18, say they are worried sick having not heard from the Poleglass teenager in days.
His mum Louise told Belfast Live she hopes someone will see the appeal and urge him to get in touch.
She said: "I just want him to know that he's not in any trouble and to just come home. Even if he just sends me a text message to let me know that he's ok, I haven't heard anything.
"His phone seems to have been switched off now for about four days and we can't get hold of him, his daddy has contacted police as well.
"So we're hoping someone else will see this and maybe have seen him to tell him to get in touch.
"He's not a social media person but from what I can gather from his friends he hasn't been active on social media either.
"There's a chance he could be somewhere in the East of the city so if anyone in that part of the city can keep an eye out for him.
"I'm a private person and I didn't want to have to go public with this but I don't know what else to do. I just want to know that he's OK."
If anyone knows where Ciaran is they can contact PSNI or his mum Louise via Facebook.
