The parents of a 13-year-old Boston girl missing since May heard from
her during a phone call Sunday night, when she whispered she wanted to
come home, MyFoxBoston.com reported.

The call was abruptly disconnected, leaving Erika Rivera’s mother,
Zenaida Roman, to believe her daughter is being held against her will by
a 16-year-old boy who brags about being in a gang, the station reported.

"She was like, 'I want to come home; I want to come home,' " the
girl's mother said. "But she was like whispering in like a desperate way."

Erika was last seen on May 25 when she showed up for school in
Belmont, but never made it to any of her classes. In April, Erika
reportedly disappeared with the boy for five days.

Capt. Peter Hoerr, from the Belmont Police Department, said the
girl’s parents have taken an active role in the search by distributing posters and handouts.

Hoerr told FoxNews.com police are actively searching for the girl and
have not identified a suspect. The girl has a history of running away from home, he said.

(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A 13-year-old female from Belmont who was last seen on May 25 has been found.

Erika Rivera left her home on May 25 bound for school, and although she showed up for homeroom, she never made it to any of her classes. She had also left behind her back pack and cell phone.

Zenaida Roman, the teen's mother, suspected her daughter left with a 16-year-old Boston boy that she met on Facebook. The boy allegedly bragged about being in a gang and owning a gun.

On Sunday night, Roman said Erika phoned their Belmont home and whispered that she wanted to come home; however, the call was cut short.

The Belmont Police Department worked in conjunction with the Boston Police Department to locate Erika.
