NEW ORLEANS — Authorities in St. Charles Parish are asking for the public’s help to find a missing 15-year-old girl.
According to the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office, Amari Self was last seen around 11 p.m. on Tuesday in the 400 block of South Kinler Street in Boutte, La. Deputies described Amari as a runaway who left her grandmother’s home.
Amari fled with her 3-month-old son, but police say she dropped off the child a family members house in Houma the day she was reported missing.
The sheriff’s office said Amari has ties to the Houma area and may have attempted to commute there, but efforts to find her have not been successful.
Anyone with information about Amari Self’s whereabouts is asked to contact the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office juvenile detective Steven Fontenot at 985-783-6807.
