Father asks for help in finding his 14 year old daughter
A Belize City father is looking for his missing daughter, Moesha Chee. Kenrick Chee was informed four days ago by the child’s mother that it is the third time the fourteen year old girl has run away from home, but this is the longest period she has gone missing. Kenrick says that he came to the media today because he wants his daughter to come back home…or at least get in contact with him and the family to ensure that she is okay.
