LIVONIA (WWJ) - The parents of a teen missing since New Year's Eve are asking for help locating their son.

Seventeen-year-old Dylan Turner went missing from the Children's Village in Pontiac along with another resident on Tuesday evening about 7 p.m.

Tracey Turner said her son, "has come too far to throw it all away and everyone wants to help him finish (his recovery)."

Tracey said her son only had about a month left at the center and was in the process of finishing court-ordered treatment before leaving with a resident she believes is named 'Austin.'

She doesn't know why he would leave the center with such a short time left but wants her son to know that there are hundreds of people trying to help him out and "we're at home falling apart."

While a police report has been filed, Tracey tells WWJ that this is not treated as a run-away case due to his court-ordered treatment status at Children's Village.

Dylan is 5 feet 7 inches, 150 pounds with short brown hair and hazel eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to call Waterford police at (248) 674-0351.
