Police released this picture of Anthony Stubbs with baby Lily on the day she was born
A mother has issued a desperate plea for her missing 16-year-old son to come home for Christmas and distributed a picture of him cradling his newborn daughter in the hope it will prompt him to get in touch.
School prefect Anthony Stubbs vanished last month following a row with his 18-year-old girlfriend, just weeks after she gave birth to their daughter, Lily.
He has not been seen or heard of since and it's believed his bank account remains untouched.
Lancashire police hope by publicly distributing pictures of Lily on the day she was born, he may get in touch with his family.
Anthony’s mother Denise, 34, broke down in tears at a news conference as she said: 'Christmas is a time for family and all I want is for Anthony to come home.
'It is his daughter Lily’s first Christmas and he should be here to celebrate with her and the rest of the family. All the family have support for him - we’re not angry, we just want him to come home.”
She added: 'If Anthony was to walk back in it would be brilliant - Christmas would be brilliant and him coming back would be the best Christmas present ever.
'We just don’t understand why he’s gone. he had already made plans for Christmas. He’d already bought a stocking for Lily and I urge him to come back for the sake of his baby.
'If he has any problems, it’s ok, I know why he went and I know what pressure he was under and I just want him to come home so we can sort it all out. Running away isn’t the answer, he needs to be with his family.
'It’s very out of character to go, he loves his baby so much, he idolises that child, the way he looks at her. He might have had pressures but he loved that little girl.

No enemy of our neighbours will operate on Rwandan soil – Kagame

  Anyone who wants to destabilise Rwanda’s neighbours will never be allowed to operate in Rwanda, President Paul Kagame has said. He made the remarks in Rusizi District on August 26 while addressing over 400 opinion leaders from Western Province where he also spoke at length about security issues and development. Security remains our top priority because if there is no security nothing can be done, he said. "The way we want to live in harmony in our country is the same way we want to get along with our neighbours...so that everyone can be safe and able to do what they want to do,” he said. Kagame has since on Thursday been  on a four-day tour  in Western and Southern provinces where he met residents, opinion leaders, and toured different development projects. "I want to add that Rwandans, be it those who live here in Rusizi and all those who live along other border areas; it is important that we find ways to live well with our neighbours. There will not be anyone who want...
