Texas Mother Calls For National Attention After Disappearance of Son: ‘I Know Something Happened’
It’s been three weeks since a Texas mother has heard from her 25-year-old son and she’s not letting up until she finds him.
"I don't have the option to be weak, because my son doesn't know me to be weak," Taylour Young's mother, Tiffany Robinson, told the local station, KTRK. "I have my moments where I break down and cry. I have my moments when I don't want to get out of bed, but I can't. That's not how my child knows me."
PEOPLE confirms Young was last seen on surveillance footage from Dec. 9 in Houston near Capital One Bank on South Voss Road driving a 2019 silver Honda Civic.
Standing at 5'11 with short, black hair, brown eyes and weighing around 160 pounds, Houston Police confirm that the search for Young continues. According to their report, he was last seen wearing a blue Billionaire Boy's Club sweatshirt and gray sweatpants. Young also has a tattoo of the Tasmanian devil on the front of his right calf and a Fleur-de-lis tattoo with a snake on the back of his right calf.
Robinson questions why he was in that area around lunchtime and was the first to locate her son's phone in some bushes near the bank using the Find My Phone app.
"I know something happened, and I just feel like he is in danger," Robinson told KTRK. "It's not like him to not call me, my sister, or anybody in our family," she continued.
Robinson created the hashtag #bringtaylourhome in an effort to bring his case to light, which has managed to catch the eye of rapper Cardi B, who shared the missing poster for Young on Instagram, bringing more attention.
"Everybody is concerned," Robinson, told KPRC. "Everyone is looking for him and we just want him to come home safely."
According to the Black and Missing Foundation, the coverage of white and minority victims is not proportionate.
Anyone who may have seen Taylour Young since Dec. 9 or has information concerning his current whereabouts should call the Houston Police Department at (832) 394-1840 or Texas EquuSearch at (281) 309-9500.
