Brooklyn 12-Year-Old Disappears for Second Time in 2 Weeks

PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS, BROOKLYN — A 12-year-old Lefferts Gardens boy has gone missing from his home for the second time in two weeks.

Bolutife Awe, pictured above, was first reported missing from his two story house at 33 E. 42nd St. on Nov. 18, but was subsequently found, according to the NYPD.

Now, he's disappeared again.

The boy was last seen at 6:30 a.m. on Dec. 1 leaving his house, police said.

Detectives describe him as standing five-feet-four-inches tall and weighing 135 pounds. He has a dark complexion, black hair, brown eyes, and was last seen wearing dark blue sweatpants, a blue sweater and multi-colored sneakers.

An NYPD spokesman said Friday that he didn't immediately know if Bolutife had returned home the first time of his own volition, or if he was found, but did describe him as a "chronic runaway."
