Key Discussion Points & Insights

Context & Purpose

• Family and Public Holidays: Lauren introduces the episode with reflections on family, noting that, for many, holidays heighten the pain of missing loved ones.
• Missing Persons Crisis: The conversation expands to discuss the disproportionate number of missing Black and brown children in America, highlighting both statistics and systemic failures.
• Platform as Advocacy: Lauren aims to provide a platform for Lavette Bryce, representing not just her daughter but “the many” missing from marginalized communities.

Notable Stats & Context

• In 2023, over 563,000 people were reported missing in the US.
• 40% of missing persons are people of color, though Black people make up just 13% of the population.
• Media coverage is disproportionately skewed towards missing white women and children.

Interview with Lavette Bryce

[15:21] Lauren opens the core discussion with Lavette Bryce, August’s mother.

A Mother’s Daily Reality

• Routine of Searching:

  • Lavette describes starting each day rounding up flyers, posting them around the city, responding to tips, and following leads, sometimes even across state lines.

    "My day to day is literally getting up, forcing myself to get dressed, period, forcing myself to try to eat...handing out flyers in the city...By the end of my night, I'm taking it down and I'm getting up and doing it all over again." (15:58)

• Police Response Failures:

  • After first reporting her daughter missing, Lavette was told she had to wait 48 hours; at the 48-hour mark, another 5 days before filing a report. Once finally allowed to file, she waited 11 more hours for police to come to her home.

    "It took them 11 hours. I got there 9 something in the morning, they didn't come until 10 something at night which is a whole day gone." (20:11)

  • Police lack of action or coordination is a repeated theme. Lavette often finds officers are unaware even of current missing children cases.

• Community & Media Silence:

  • Despite reaching out repeatedly to major local news outlets (6 ABC, NBC), there was virtually no coverage or assistance received.
  • Lavette and other families resort to self-funded flyer campaigns and social media activism.

    "We have to find out it in Ratchet Media. Why we gotta go on TikTok to find out that this black...lady just got snatched?...That should be on the news." (25:27)

The Day August Disappeared

• August (Aisha) was last seen on February 21, 2026, by her family. She left to get food after asking her mom for money but never returned.
• Immediate warning signs for Lavette: her daughter's phone became unreachable, she wasn’t with relatives, and the pattern was wholly out of character.

Systemic and Structural Issues

• Misclassification and Missing Reports:

  • August was initially classified incorrectly—marked as a prior runaway with erroneous physical characteristics, and her mental health status understated.

    "They put my daughter in here as a prior runaway, which is probably why y' all never looked for her in the first place...she’s never been a prior runaway." (41:34)

• Lack of Proper Investigation:

  • Critical investigative errors, delayed search warrants, and a general sense of police indifference compounded the trauma.

• Call to Action:

  • Lavette urges for the formation of specialized task forces, more training for law enforcement, and community vigilance.

    "They need to have some kind of...task force set up to handle just this." (30:32)

  • She stresses that what happened to her daughter could happen to anyone and implores listeners to pay attention to their surroundings and missing persons cases in their own communities.

Memorable Moments & Quotes

• On Motherhood and Perseverance:

  • "If I stop, then everybody stops...If we find one, we might find all of them. And it's too many of them missing." — Lavette Bryce (36:03)
  • "I'm not going to stop looking for [my daughter]. And I'm making sure everybody know I'm not going to stop...That's my job as a mom, to protect her. I did not protect her. I have to protect her." — Lavette Bryce (25:42)

• To Her Missing Daughter:

  • "My message to you is that I love you. You know you love me. You know I am coming for you...Just got to give me a sign and be strong and hold on and fight. Please fight. You got a lot of family coming for you. We love you. Do not give up. I love you." — Lavette Bryce ([29:53])

• On Systemic Failures:

  • "If it was yours...y' all gonna use the entire [police force]...I'm doing your job. I've been doing your job for the last month." — Lavette Bryce, during a confrontation with police ([48:57])

[Shopify Advertiser]

Lauren came in hot.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

Hey, y'. All, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And this is another episode of the Latest with Lauren LaRosa. This is a daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Baby. Now, today, you know, coming off of an Easter holiday break, you know, Easter 2026, you know, it's natural to just be thinking about family, thanking God for family, and, you know, all the things that come with being able to spend time with loved ones, you know, over a holiday weekend or holiday break. But, you know, this morning in this podcast episode, I want to really take the time to get into a conversation that is needed when you talk about spending time with family and with loved ones. There are so many people going throughout these holidays, going day to day, who are not able to do so. And it's not because their loved one is choosing to distance themselves. And all these nuanced conversations we have about the choice to deal with and or not deal with your family. These are people who love their family members, love their daughters, love their sons, their mothers who have not seen them in months, some people even years, because they are missing. And these people do not have the help that they need to get the word out there, nor do they feel supported by local law enforcement programs and systems. Who are the people doing the job to go and find them? You know, there's been so much coverage, and I know that we normally check in behind the scenes of the grind in the beginning of our episodes, but I don't even want to check in on me right now because we have a mom that we will be speaking to quite frequently here on this podcast and, you know, throughout other platforms that I work with, Breakfast Club and other places. Who needs the platform and who needs to be checked in on? So we're going to do that for her and not for us lowriders. And I know you guys will understand that this conversation will not only shake the room, but I hope that it turns light on on in a lot of rooms. I spoke to Lizette Rice. She is a mother from Wilmington, Delaware. You guys know I talk a lot about Delaware homeless podcast because it is where I'm from. Lizette's daughter, her name is Aisha August Bent Hudifah, went missing on February 22, 2026. Now, I've been in contact with Lisette for some weeks. I've been, you know, just trying my best to just repost flyers on Instagram, on Facebook, whatever it is that I can do. But I honestly don't feel like I'm doing enough. And, you know, I don't know if our interview and our conversation will be the answer that she needs to help bring her baby girl home. But I want to add, I think that it's important information throughout this conversation as well too. You, you are going to hear from a mother who is distraught, who has not seen her baby girl in over 38 days, a black mother who is a fighter and has the will and determination to not give up, who is up every day literally kicking indoors after she receives tips about where young women and young black women may be being held as they're being trafficked. You're going to hear from her throughout this episode. But I want you guys to understand what we are up against, because one thing that Lavette echoes a lot in our interview is that it's not just her daughter that she wants to help bring home. There are so many young black girls in the city of Wilmington alone. In the last several weeks, I've come across at least like, oh my God, four to five Facebook groups who are posting daily, sometimes every 20 minutes, a new young woman, young man, baby, grown adult, elderly person that has gone missing in the city. But one of the big conversations that we are having right now are about our young black girls, our young black kids in these inner cities. According to Black and missing. According to blackandmissinginc.com, which is an organization that helps to bring platform and voice to children, black children who are missing and who are going overlooked. In 2023, there were over 563,000 persons reported missing in the United States. Now of that over 563,000 people, 57% of those people were white, including Hispanic people. 40% of those people were minority. 40% of missing persons are persons of color. Yet black people make up only 13% of the population. And that's via census.gov Thousands of people are reported missing every year in the US and not every case gets media widespread attention. But the coverage of white and minority victims are far from proportionate. Now blackandmissinginc.com goes on to talk about why there's a disparity in media coverage around black and brown children. Black and brown people as we go missing, the number one reason is runaways. A lot of minority children are initially classified as runaways and are as runaways, and as a result, they do not receive the Amber Alert. You will hear from Ms. Levette, in my interview, talk about her daughter and how she had to fight to get an Amber Alert. The second reason, being listed as criminals. Missing minority adults are labeled as associated with criminal involvement, gangs, and drugs. Desensitization is the third reason. It is believed that missing minorities live in impoverished conditions and crime is a regular part of our lives. And I say, Ira, because I'm from the same city that, you know, Ms. Lavette's daughter went missing at, literally blocks away from where this young girl was last seen by her mother and by her family. I grew up. My family's there. My niece is there. This is our problem. This is not just her and her family's problem. This is our problem. And when I say our, I don't just mean me because I'm from the neighborhood. I mean that. To say, this could be your daughter, this could be your niece, this could be your cousin. This could be you. This could be. I mean, I saw Savannah Guthrie, you know, go back to work today on the Today show, you know, and national news coverage around that, the FBI, the president involved in that. There's a celebrity element there. We get it. She's a white woman. They're a white family.

[Lavette Bryce]

We get it.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

And we want everybody to return home safe, but we have to look at what's happening here and lack thereof. So this is everybody's problem, not just those who choose to care about news coverage, not just now. Your baby's missing, and you're trying to figure out how to go about it. White, black, brown, green, purple. This is everybody's issue now. When it comes to missing people reported by gender, 50% of missing people across the US within that 563,000 number I said are female. 53% of them are under 18. 40% of them are African American. 162,000. Over 162,000. So let's get into this interview now. Let's talk to Ms. Levette. Let's help her bring home her baby, and let's have a broader conversation about what we can do to help, who you can get in contact with, and how we fight back against things that aren't happening. I do also want to mention that I reached out to the Wilmington Police Department, which Ms. Levette mentioned several times throughout this interview, and her upset with them and what they are not doing in her eyes, what she alleges that they are not doing. There are a few things that she brings up that she alleges happens or has not happened when it comes to their investigation. I've reached out several times to the Wilmington Police Department. Left two messages over the last two weeks, but have called several times and have not heard back. I've reached out to the mayor's office in Wilmington, Delaware as well, too, who is now trying to put me in contact with someone. So, you know, this is part one. I am praying that by part two we have, you know, more communication with the Wilmington Police Department and the law enforcement there, you know, and just get some things going for this family and also for the other families that Ms. Levette, you know, now wants to try and help that are all important. Let's get into the conversation.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hey, y', all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa. And you know I give you your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations that shake the room, baby. And for me to give you all the factual content when I get into the details. I gotta make some phone calls. I'm calling lawyers, attorneys, managers, publicists. Shoot, I'll even call your mama if she's the person that's gonna give me the exclusive I need. But did you know that 2026 will mark the 150th anniversary of the first ever phone call. It took place on March 10, 1876. And from the call that sparked it all to the first long distance phone lines, the first line across America, the first line across the Atlantic, the first round the world call, the first commercial cell service, the first 911 system, AT&T has been connecting people for 150 years in so many different ways. I'm just happy that somebody's gonna answer the phone. Cause how else would I bring y' all the news? All up in the people business, but they answer.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

Thank you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Hi, thanks for joining me.

[Lavette Bryce]

Thank you. Thank you for having me.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Of course. How's your, how's your day been today?

[Lavette Bryce]

Today has been long. I started late but I did get some sleep last night and I still have other kids I had to tend to. So, you know, I had to go feed them and now I'm doing laundry with them so I can get ready to go back outside.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So, you know, for the viewers and the listeners, you say you know so you can get ready to go back outside. I know me and you have been in contact for some days and just, you know, staying in contact. So I know what that means. But explain to them what your day to day has been like in looking for your daughter and what going back outside entails.

[Lavette Bryce]

My day to day is literally getting up, forcing myself to get dressed, period, forcing myself to try to eat. I am, you know, going to Staples, going to the library, wherever I can. I have a lot of friends that are actually helping me get flyers together. So I start my day rounding up flyers and then, you know, I drive, I drive in the city first. I always drive in the city first because again, you know, we from the city and a lot of people still do not know. So I'll start handing out flyers in the city while I'm doing that. You know, a lot of times I get a lot of calls from people saying, hey, maybe you should try over here or maybe you should go out here or, you know, some people over here don't know you might need to go out here. So I follow up on, you know, a lot of those tips and try to go to those areas. By the end of my night, I'm taking it down and I'm getting up and I'm doing it all over again.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So today is what day would be about like 38?

[Lavette Bryce]

Yes ma', am, day 38.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So this is day 38 that your baby girl has been missing. Talk to us a bit about your daughter, you know, whatever you're okay with going back through of the day that she went missing?

[Lavette Bryce]

Absolutely. So it was 20, February 22nd. I had to be to work at 5:30 in the morning. So actually, technically the last time I actually seen August was the 21st before she went to bed. She has other brothers, they had to be to work a few hours after me. So it was just her and her little sister left in the house. Around, I would say around 1:30 ish, maybe 1 o', clock, her and her sister hit me. We're like, mom, could we have some money to go get something to eat? I cashed out him the money and then I know around 3:30ish, my youngest daughter, you know, text me or called me and said, mom, Augie hasn't been back from the store yet. So I'm like, well what time did she leave? She said like an hour ago. So I'm like, okay, maybe she went to raise. If you go to raids, it takes a little longer because I got to cook the food, things of that nature and she walks. So. So let's give her a little bit more time to get back. I think I got off of work at like 6:37. She still wasn't back. But her sister had already started, you know, trying to call her phone, send her a message while she's trying to send her a message while I'm still at work. Messages undelivered can't be delivered. Nothing can get through. Try to call her on her Instagram, can't nothing get through. She had a Text now. Number can't. No response. You could text it. No response. I called her aunt because sometimes her aunt will come pick her up. She was like, no, I haven't seen Isha.

[Lavette Bryce (Alternate or same as F)]

She told us.

[Lavette Bryce]

I didn't even see her for her birthday. And I was like, okay, okay. So then, you know, I know with the police, they're not going to do anything, especially if it's only been about six hours, they're not going to do anything. So the next day I went to the police station and then they told me that I had to come back, you know, the following day. That's supposed to be the 48 hour mark and I get to the 48 hour mark and I go back there and they tell me I have to wait five more days because, you know, basically that we're allowed to go missing. I was like, that's my child. They're like, no, they're not allowed to go missing. They was like, you know, legally they aren't adults. You know, they don't have to come home if they want to. Give it about five more days and then we can take her to report. From that day on I started, you know, making flyers, handing out flyers because I already knew something was wrong. Like I knew as a mom something's wrong, especially with what she went outside with, you know what I mean? Like I already knew. Like I started talking to my uncles, my dad, you know, all the family, everybody, we just started looking. But you know, I didn't get this big in until that seventh day, that seventh day when I caught, when I went up there to actually do the missing persons report at 9 o' clock in the morning. And the duty officer literally said that they have all these new recruits and they are too busy to take any complaints right now. So what you can do is go home and, and dial the police non emergency Number which is 654-5151 and wait for somebody to come out and take your report. It took them 11 hours. I got there 9 something in the morning, they didn't come until 10 something at night which is a whole day gone.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Lavette Bryce]

Of not looking for my child.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Right.

[Lavette Bryce]

And this is where I've been at ever since, like literally ever since then I've been advocate like as I've been outside, you know, going places, going in Maryland. You know, I've been posting her and then that's when people started posting like, hey, you know this little girl missing from the same area. Hey, you know this little girl's been missing since this day. Her mom's Been looking for her, and, you know, nobody. We didn't even see any kind of alert for her. You know, sorry, my dad's calling me. So, you know, that's how it literally started. You know, people started reaching out to me about their loved ones, you know, missing, and nothing's being done. And you can't. You. You can't even get a detective on the phone. You know, if you have any information, they're literally telling you, dial this 654-5151 number.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So I know you. So what. What you're describing. And, you know, now you're outside, you're printing the flyers, you're handing out the flyers. You're kind of just going to places. I know last night we talked for a bit, and you were mentioning that you were headed somewhere in. In Pennsylvania because of a tip that you had gotten. So that has become your day to day, because you don't have. Is it the police or not?

[Lavette Bryce]

Like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Or have they just stopped their investigation or, like, what's happening with the Wilmington Police Department?

[Lavette Bryce]

So, you know, I do have a detective on the actual case. Basically, what they say is if you. If. If you want. If. Basically, if I want information to reach out to the detective, which I have, but, you know, if she is working the case, she hasn't called me back, you know, in. In about a week. You know, I found out some information. I don't know if you heard about the two bodies they found today. So, you know, I called and referenced it to them. So I'm waiting for a call back on that. You know. You know, to me, I'm not looking for a dead child. I know something going on with my child. In my opinion, my child's lost. My child is outside somewhere screaming for help, and nobody's helping her. Just like they were screaming for help when they were talking. Can I say the Wilmington police are helping? No, I can't, because I can still, you know, ride around the city and see some cops that I haven't seen and. And hand them a flyer, and they still don't know. How is it that you guys all works for the same police force and just because you're on different sides of town, you guys don't know what's going on the other side of town, that you know about the drugs on the other side of town, but you don't know about the kids missing from all the sides of town? Like. Like, I'm out here every single day, my family outside every single day. It's people all over the world outside every day. Not even just for my child. It's so many missing. Like, until this happened, I did not know it's this many kids missing from all the eastern seaboard is crazy. It's crazy. And when nobody's talking about it, you're not hearing about it like that. Why.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So that was, that was one of the reasons why I was trying to get in contact. I know it was you. And there were two other young ladies that I saw that people were talking about from Wilmington, Delaware. So I was like trying to kind of keep up with what was happening. But I, I, I wasn't really able to find too many up to date reports on just like what was happening with you guys, you know, with y', all, with your daughters. So I reached out because I'm like, why is there no coverage for real of this? And I know that there's a lot going on, so just wanted to extend the platform. But like, I guess my question to you in a situation like this is like, how difficult has it been not having a platform echoing what's happening behind you and helping you with that, like the news or, you know, and I know you've said you've reached out to the news. You can even talk about that.

[Lavette Bryce]

Like, how difficult has that been?

[Lauren LaRosa]

You're one person.

[Lavette Bryce]

It's, it's, it's very difficult, like, because I feel like, you know, with everything else that we had going on in the world, we can hear about it, we know about you put it on the news, you know, that means it's worldwide. The fact that you. Yes, I reached out to 6 ABC quite a few times. I've been reached out to NBC quite a few times. I've sent them, you know, multiple emails, updated flyers. You know, I'm, you know, me and people were creating these flyers on our own. Like every dollar, it's our money we're spending, like we're not getting Ricky's comp isn't helping us do anything like that. We're doing this on our own. People are doing this out the kindness of their heart because this is the only way we're going to be able to get it out. Why they don't want to, you know, speak on it. I believe because it's happening so often across the world. If they start talking about that, it's going, it's going to be a problem across the world. Everybody needs to know that this is something that they're not going to talk about. It's the kids missing, it's okay, let's keep it on the hush, let the families deal with it. But we don't want to make it blow it out of proportion so the whole world won't start paying attention to the kids. But I think the whole world really needs to start paying attention to their kids, paying attention to people around you people. It's not just kids. People are stalking adults and kidnapping them. But y' all don't want to talk about it. We have, like, we have to find out it in Ratchet Media. Why we gotta go on tick tock to find out that this black Lane lady just got snatched out of her car and all she was doing is going to like that. It should be on the news. Make everybody aware. Hey, be aware of your surroundings at all times. Make sure your kids are with people. Watch your kids who are walking by. Hey, run the pedophile list in your neighborhood.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

Yeah.

[Lavette Bryce]

Nobody's doing it, like. And it. It's sad that it literally took for me to snap on the Wilmington police for people to act direct, actually recognize that this is really going on. And I shouldn't have had to do that because you should have been helping me from day one.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Lavette Bryce]

Day 38 in. I know that I can drive from Wilmington, Delaware right now and get to Canada in six and a half hours. Literally. I do it. I've done it three times in the last three weeks. I can do it. We're day 37. Where do you think my daughter can be at? But nobody. They're not looking for her. I'm looking for her. And I'm making sure everybody know I'm not going to stop looking for. You're going to remember my daughter face. You're going to remember. I'm actively going to be out here every single day looking for mine. I have not. That's my job as a mom, to be a mother, to protect her. I did not protect her. I have to protect her. And I'm going to ask the entire world to help me protect her and help me find her, because that's the only thing I can do.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You are so strong throughout all of this.

[Lavette Bryce]

I'm really not. You know, I have my moments. You know, I had three other kids. You know, I. She has a baby sister and we have a lot going on, you know, But I have to be strong because if I keep breaking, I'm not going to achieve anything. Like, I need her to know her mom. As strong as she is, she's coming and I'm not going. I am not going to ever give up, ever.

[John Green]

I'm John Green as the author of the Fault in Our Stars and now I guess also as the co host of the Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast.

[Daniel Alarcon]

I'm Daniel Alarcon, a writer and journalist and John and I have known each other since we were kids. My first World cup was Mexico 86. I was nine years old. I watched every game and I fell in love. On our new podcast, the Away End, we'll share with you the magic of international football all leading up to the 2026 World Cup.

[John Green]

For us, soccer football is a story we've shared for over 30 years since Daniel was the star player on our high school soccer team.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Very debatable.

[John Green]

And I was their most loyal and sometimes only fan. I love this game. I love its history, its hope, its heartbreak, and above all, its beauty.

[Daniel Alarcon]

Together we'll find out why. Of all the unimportant things football, soccer is the most important.

[John Green]

[Roald Dahl Podcast Advertiser]

You know the famous author Roald Dahl? He thought up Willy Wonka and the bfg. But did you know he was a spy? Neither did I. You can hear all about his wildlife story in the podcast the Secret World of Roald Dahl. All episodes are out now.

[Lavette Bryce]

Was this before he wrote his stories.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

It must have been what?

[Eating While Broke Podcast Advertiser]

Okay, I don't think that's true.

[Lavette Bryce]

I'm telling you, the guy was a spy.

[Roald Dahl Podcast Advertiser]

Binge all 10 episodes of the Secret World of Roald Dahl now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If August is watching this, what is your message to her right now and wherever she is, as she's able to hear or potentially see you?

[Lavette Bryce]

My message to you is that I love you. You know you love me. You know I am coming for you. Just got to give me a sign and be strong and hold on and fight. Please fight. You got a lot of family coming for you. We love you. Do not give up. I love you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What is it that you need right now? Like, if. If, you know, if the police department is doing what they're supposed to do, if the community is doing what they're supposed to do, the media, what does a. A legit set up to help you, you know, amplify this to get to your daughter? What does that look like? What's the call to action for everybody watching and listening? Like, how can they help you?

[Lavette Bryce]

I feel like the call to action is, like I said, this is just not one singular incident. This is multiple incidents. You know, I feel like if the. If the Wilmington police are involved, they are actually. No, they should. No majority of who, what, where, because they're taking places in certain areas. You know what I mean? I feel like it should be some kind of task force that you. I mean, task force set up to handle just this, like, because it's literally people coming in our neighborhoods, and they're snatching our kids, and they're doing whatever they want to them, and they're killing them. I'm getting them drugs, and they're making them disappear, and they're making them do all kinds of things. And I'm a mom, and I can think of a hundred different things, things that you could be doing to my child right now, and I'm not accepting it. I just feel like they need to be on the ball and paying attention. They made it so easy for people to get on and off the highway from our kids, like, around. Like, you made it so easy. Y' all made it so easy, but y' all are not. They're not patrolling these areas. Y', all. Like, you never know. You could be riding past a person screaming in the car right next to you, right next to you, and nobody's paying attention. I feel like they need to have some kind of. They need to have training on it. First of all, what to look for besides drug dealers. But it's no great if y' all can do all this investigation and find the people that's bringing drugs from Miami all the way out. You can find the people who's trafficking these kids. You can find the people that's snatching these kids. They're right in the neighborhood. They're blending in with us. There's some. I mean, if you can find all that out of person 30 days, you can find where these kids are and who's taking them and how they're taking them. I believe that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And I know you talked a bit about the neighborhood that you're in. I'm from Wilmington, Delaware, and I talk a lot about being from Delaware. But, you know, we have listeners and viewers from all over the world, all over the US So women. Delaware is an inner city, for those of you guys who don't know, predominantly black. You know, and it's one of the things where, like, we deal with what the inner cities deal with. So the drugs, the, you know, the. The underfunding of the schools, the redlining, you know, the. The lack of support for the houses and the gentrification that comes in.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

So when.

[Lauren LaRosa]

When she's talking about the neighborhoods, she's talking about the fact that, like, the kids there are black and brown, so the care level is just a lot

[Lavette Bryce]

different, and it's not there, you know, so our kids feel like, hey, they don't have nothing to look forward to because this is it. Like. But when I was growing up, we had things to do. You know, we. We were everywhere. Like, we had things to do. We had east side steppers. Like, parents were involved now, you know, parents don't want to get involved in anything now. Like, something got. Something has to change. And I know it starts with us. If the government isn't even helping us try to do what do. What do you. What are we supposed to do? Like, what am I supposed to do? Like, I wasn't supposed to, you know, snap on the police like that. I'm supposed to just let it stay face and hope that they're out there looking for my kids. Nobody gonna look for mine. Like. Like me. Absolutely not. Absolutely not.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. You know, however. And whatever it is that I can do, I don't. All I got is a platform. So, you know, you're always welcome to come to spread information, to post information. We'll make sure we put all of the flyers of August throughout this interview as well, too, so people can see her, you know, and is there anything. If people see her walking on the street or see her somewhere or wherever. I know you mentioned that she deals with different, like, mental issues before.

[Lavette Bryce]

Absolutely.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So is there a certain way to approach her or not approach her?

[Lavette Bryce]

Like, how do.

[Lauren LaRosa]

If a common person just happens to run into her or see her, what are their instructions?

[Lavette Bryce]

My first instruction is to, you know, let August know she has to feel safe with you first. She has to feel safe. And right now I don't think she's going to feel safe with anybody. So my. I would say contact the police. If you can follow her and contact the police, that would be better because, you know, we don't know what she's going through. You know, she can be a threat to herself and others. Like I said, it can go either way. August is like, she has to know that you are taking her to me. She's going to her mother or she's going to her aunt. If you said Aunt Crystal is coming for you, call her Aunt Crystal, she's gonna go with you. Otherwise, I say call the, call the police because they might have a better shot. They can actually come with the mental counselors with her and help get her together and then we can go from there. But I know, you know, my daughter isn't on drugs. Like, she's not running around here popping perks. You know, everybody smoke a little weed here and there, but she don't do that. She doesn't drink. Like, she's a picky eater. She's picky with everything. She reads books, you know, she's a different child. She's a quiet child. So this right here, this is different. This is like it almost, it's almost. It's breaking me. So I can imagine what it's doing to my daughter right now.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah, well, praying for the August is safe return home and for your strength, you know, throughout the days. And I only said you were strong earlier because every day that I've been talking to you, it's just been like you getting up, you. You like you're continuing to do what you need to do to try and bring your baby girl home. But, you know, I'm not a parent yet, but I can only imagine that that's just what comes with being a mom, you know?

[Lavette Bryce]

Absolutely. It's unconditional love. Like I said, nobody's going to do it like you. And, you know, if I stop, then everybody stops, you know, And I'm not going to stop because I don't want nobody stop. I want everybody. I want everybody to remember all these girls faces because like I say, if we find one, we might find all of them. And it's too many of them missing. It's too many.

[Roald Dahl Podcast Advertiser]

Binge all 10 episodes of the Secret World of Roald Dahl now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Are there certain websites? Cause I was seeing, like, once I started following the, you know, your daughter and the other girls that I saw that were missing from Wilmington, Delaware, I began seeing, like, Facebook groups and websites. Like, are there certain sites that you're following that also provide information or other missing young men and women in the inner cities?

[Lavette Bryce]

Yes, it's an unsolved group on Facebook.

[Lavette Bryce (Alternate or same as F)]

He.

[Lavette Bryce]

He keeps us loaded. Jackie Canard. She. She. People send her all kinds of stuff. Not all the time. It's on groups. A lot of people are sending us stuff directly from them. Like some of the moms, like, Mississippi, you know, all over. Some people are just sending it to us. And we're actually, you know, forwarding some of them over to the groups because they get out a little faster with the groups. Yeah, they just be. They just becoming like. And I just, you know, since then, I. I just, you know, been following all of them because, again, you never know. People missing from over in California, they might have brought them here. We might see them. You know, like, we all can try to pay attention and know we might not find them all, but we can probably get most of these girls home if. If we start paying attention. Stuff don't look right. If it don't look right, it's not right. You need to take a picture.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

I got you.

[Lavette Bryce]

Like, it's bad out here. You didn't know it was this bad until they got this bad.

[Lauren LaRosa]

No. Well, again, let me know whatever you need if there's, like, new flyers or anything to post. You know, I try and post as much as I can remember throughout the week or, like, you know, week, weekends, whatever. The poster flyers that you sent me.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

So, yeah, yep, I have new flyers.

[Lavette Bryce]

I'll actually send those over to you. We're going to print up a couple more, but, like, do it small with a whole bunch of different. Of the girls on there just so we can try to get as many. I want to try to do that at least once a week with a Different flyer with about five or six different girls on there. Just so everybody can just keep looking. Because it's like, listen, I've been in Philly. It's bad there. As far as, you know, the trafficking at the girls Jersey is horrible. And I'm. Listen, I'm going everywhere. I'm going everywhere.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I wanted to ask you about something too. I know you told me. I just thought about this when you were talking about the flyers. You were telling me that originally when you reported August missing, first of all, the information, like there was never an official report filed. And then when they did file it, all of her information, like the debt would have described her to someone was completely wrong.

[Lavette Bryce]

Absolutely. So like I said when I. When I first started this, me and my friend, like I said, we were just out in the city. We started handing the flyers to, you know, the police officers. They were the ones who let us know that it wasn't right. Like it wasn't in the system. So I went down to wpd, asked them for a copy of my, you know. You know, they give you the little blue card with your number on it. So I asked them for a piece, a copy of it. And I said, soon as I looked at. And I said, sir, this is all wrong. Like, who fixes this? That's that number again. You're gonna have to dial 654-5151 and speak to somebody on there and. And whoever put it in has to fix it. That's another 11 hours I gotta wait for somebody to call me back to fix everything that's wrong in here. Like you put my daughter in here. It's bald, baby bald, black eyes. You put her in here as a prior runaway, which is probably why y' all never looked for in the first place, because she has never ran away. She's never been a prior runaway. And then she put on there that she's depressed, not that she's suicidal ideation, not that she has severe, severe bipolar, not that she's on medicine every single day and she hasn't had her medicine. You didn't put her. She took pictures of my daughter's hair because she had just got her hair. Her hair is in locks, just a little thicker than mine, about this length. She took pictures of them. You didn't even input any of the pictures of my daughter. Not like you didn't do nothing. Black female, in her name and her approximate height. That was the only part that was right.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How long was it like that?

[Lavette Bryce]

When did I see it? Probably like that for about a week. And a half. I can get the exact date on for you when I do the video. Because the day I did that video, I had went and seen the mayor earlier that day. And that's when I got the copy of the, that's when I got the updated copy because I had stopped the guy. It was three police on the beat in front of my house and I had stopped them. And when he went on, he went and pulled it up and he was like, this shit's all up. Excuse me, that's he, that's exact words. And I was like, well, what do you mean? So he turned his, his screen to me so I can see and I can see like every, they have a lot of steps that they have to do to input all the information down to the tattoos. Like, it's not just like, hey, you just put everything on this one screen. No, you got to go this screen. You got to do this. When you get to this screen and ask for a picture of like what the tattoo looks like. When you get to this screen over here to input the photos, you got to input the photos one by one, upload them to like if I sat there with that man for 45 minutes while he, while he fixed the whole report, then submitted it. When he, as soon as he submitted it, the NCIC number popped up. That's how I knew it was submitted correctly, because before then it wasn't in even an NCIC number, which means it never hit the national database anyway.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And normally something like that, if you had not been doing what you were doing, it would have just been overlooked. And was there any repercussions for the, you know, the sergeant or detective or whoever that input that information that way?

[Lavette Bryce]

No. And if it was. Well, obviously no, because she's still on a beat. I just seen her the other day by my house. She's still on the beat. So obviously not. But you know, that's something I' ma deal with on another day, you know. Yeah, that, yeah, you know, I'll deal with all that on another day, you know, the mayor on the other day, the state senate on city council. Because this, it's a, it's a line, it's a chain to all this, like, and all chains has been broken in all the whole aspect of it. The whole chain of everything is broken.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Got you. Alrighty. Well, I mean I'm hoping once we put this package together and put this out there, this can get you some, some eyes and you know, just get you a little shake up. And yeah, like, I, I, I don't I don't know. I'm just trying to help out as much as I can.

[Lavette Bryce]

Yeah. Like I said, until it happens to you, we do not know what's going on. And it won't affect. It doesn't affect other people as much as it will affect you. Yeah, but it should affect this community because I shouldn't have had to scream like that. And now I understand what a lot of parents, even, you know, when the parents where, you know, their. Their loved ones have been murdered or what. I understand the pain that they're going through because obviously the entire structure is broken and nobody's here to fix it. I'm gonna fix it, though. Got you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All right, well, stay in contact with me. I'll stay in contact with you and let you know when this is posted and how we're gonna do the whole thing, but I'll make sure that it gets the platform that you need it to.

[Lavette Bryce]

Absolutely. Thank you so much, and I appreciate you.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Of course.

[Lavette Bryce]

Thank you. I would appreciate it.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And if there are any other moms of, you know, kids that are missing or, you know, whatever that, you know, need the platform, let me know.

[Lavette Bryce]

I definitely will.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Okay.

[Lavette Bryce]

Thank you. You have a good evening.

[Lauren LaRosa (Host, same as A)]

This video was shot early March outside of Ms. Lovett's home. Here you hear Ms. Lovette and her family going back and forth with police who showed up to her home to search her home after she reported her daughter. Hello.

[Lavette Bryce (Angry, same as F/M)]

She's not in my house. You're not doing a mother.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Like, literally, it's not up to us.

[Lavette Bryce (Angry, same as F/M)]

It is up to y', all, right?

[John Green]

I. I've been asking, asking y'. All. I have been asking you for help since March.

[Universal Pictures Advertiser]
