Mother of missing teen tries to help find daughter

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A South Florida teen has been missing for almost a week and her family fears she's in danger.

An emotional mother passed out flyers in a Miami neighborhood Saturday to find her missing daughter.

Police said 17-year-old Evelyn Rivera went missing monday.

Neighbors last saw her at a bus stop in the neighborhood her family recently moved to at Northwest 10th Street and Third Avenue. "It's been six days already," said Wanda Gomez, "and this is a nightmare for any parent, and we just wanna know where she's at."

Rivera's mother said people in the neighborhood last saw her talking with a man in his 30's, who is believed to have mental health issues.

She was last seen wearing a black sweater and khaki pants.
