The missing son of a Marina del Rey resident, last believed to have been seen in Santa Monica, has been found.
Nick Segovia, 16, disappeared after his father Javier Segovia dropped him off at Los Angeles Airport on Monday. By Thursday, Nick Segovia called his father from Huntington Beach saying he wanted to come home.
“He called me up and said ‘Dad, I want to come home with you,’” Javier Segovia said. “He volunteered a few things, said he was safe, so I didn’t ask any questions. I didn’t want to take any chances.”
Javier Segovia said his son will be enrolled in an ongoing counseling program which will allow him to continue working on achieving his high school diploma.
Nick Segovia used to live with his father in Southern California until he failed 10th grade last year. He moved in with his mother in Miami where he has continued to have trouble academically, his father said.
