In a second tweet, Angel noted, “He attends Jalen Rose Leadership Academy.” The popular blogger also admitted that while she didn’t want to resort to social media, she felt that she had no other choice. “I feel so helpless right now,” Angela wrote. “Didn’t want to resort to this on social. It’s overwhelming. This is a nightmare I wouldn’t wish on any parent … just want my kid home.”

The mother of two continued her plea on social media in later tweets. “Please continue to do whatever you can,” Angela told her followers. “No need to ask, get the flier out wherever you can think to send it. I’m working with Missing Child Org, but there is a lot of confusion at the police dept. about what they actually did so far.”

At the time, Angela expressed deep concern over Jaden’s “mental health.” “We are new to the city and this is the most unimaginable thing. Jaden was last seen in Detroit since Sat morning, there is no activity on his social and he did not have his phone. I have reason to be concerned about his mental health,” Angela wrote. “Nothing prepares you for this. Detroit Police have not been helpful. This is so frustrating."
