<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">The family and attorney of 15- year-old Quawan &#8220;Bobby&#8221; Charles seek answers after he left his home on October 30th with a friend and his friend&#8217;s mother without his parents&#8217; permission. He was found deceased three days later near Loreauville, LA.</p>
<p>Roxanne Nelson, Bobby’s mother, began calling him to see where he was after noticing he was missing but she got no response from her child. Bobby&#8217;s parents called 911 to report his disappearance to the Baldwin Police Department and West St. Mary Sheriff’s Office. However, officers told Roxanne that he was probably at a football game. Despite the family’s action, no Amber Alert was issued while he was missing.</p>
<p>The family launched their own investigation on October 31st, and the next day, they discovered evidence of Bobby’s whereabouts from a friend. Unfortunately, on November 3rd, Bobby was found deceased in an unidentified wooded area off Ed Broussard. The family says they were told Bobby drowned, but they believe otherwise after Bobby&#8217;s photo was spread on social media and it had shown that he had been beaten up. Many are comparing him to the lynching death of <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/long-live-emmett-till/">Emmett Till</a>.</p>
<p>Celina Charles, the family’s spokeswoman, said, ”His face is disfigured. So there&#8217;s some explaining that needs to be done there. His face is disfigured.” The Iberia Parish Sheriff&#8217;s Office released a statement late Tuesday morning they were looking into the &#8220;suspicious circumstances&#8221; surrounding Bobby’s death. They added that they are still processing evidence and have contacted The Charles family amid the growing outrage on social media.</p>
<p>Attorney Ron Haley said, ” We have no answers, but were going to get them. They [officers] were told things like he&#8217;s probably at a football game, probably here there, anywhere else, and we don&#8217;t know if those delays could&#8217;ve contributed to his death. We know when there is a missing child, the most critical moment is when you first call law enforcement that the child is missing.&#8221;</p>
<p>Attorney Ron also issued a news release, demanding the arrest of anyone involved in Bobby&#8217;s death. No arrests have been made, and the coroner has not released any information surrounding Bobby’s death. According to <a href="https://www.katc.com/news/iberia-parish/baldwin-family-left-with-more-questions-as-investigation-into-teens-death-continues">KATC</a>, the family is seeking an independent autopsy. Bobby’s family has created a GoFund Me account to help pay for the autopsy.</p>
