They are asking for the public’s help to find the school boy.

Detective Constable Louise Mayhook, from the Met’s South East Command Unit, said: “Patient has now been missing for close to 24 hours and I want to find him and bring him home safely.

“I am asking the public to please keep their eyes peeled and contact us if they have any information about his whereabouts.”

Anyone who has seen Patient or knows where he is should contact police on 101 quoting ref: 20MIS018504.
