As Minister of Education, I am deeply troubled by the disappearance of Chantel Crump, a young student who was allegedly last seen walking home from school in the Grays Farm area.

This distressing situation weighs heavily on our hearts, and our thoughts are with her family, friends, and school community during this difficult time.

I urge anyone who may have seen or heard anything – no matter how insignificant it may seem – to come forward and share this information with the authorities. Even the smallest detail could prove crucial in bringing Chantal home safely.

As a nation, we must stand together in times like these. Let us all be our brother’s keeper – looking out for one another and ensuring that our children feel safe in their communities. I implore the public to remain vigilant and cooperative with law enforcement in their ongoing efforts.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the police immediately. Let us work together to find Chantel Crump and bring peace of mind to her loved ones.
