The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said an 11-year-old boy has been missing since Wednesday night.

The child, Javon Charles, was last seen in the 2400 block of 2nd Ave. North in Lake Worth at a neighborhood club house around 7:30 pm.

Javon was last seen wearing black gym shorts and a grey t-shirt. He is missing his two front teeth.

Deputies have visited friends and patrolled all known places he hangs out. 

Due to his age, PBSO detectives consider Javon to be a missing endangered child 

If anyone should come into contact with the boy, they are urged to contact 688-3400 or the nearest law enforcement agency.
