Every missing child case carries a sense of urgency—but some feel especially close, especially real. Right now, a 14-year-old boy is missing from North Charleston, South Carolina, and time is critical. His name is Matthew David Edny, and his family is desperately hoping the public can help bring him home safely.
Matthew was last seen on March 23, 2026, on Mosgrove Avenue in the McKewn community. Since that moment, there have been no confirmed updates about his whereabouts. No new sightings. No clear direction. Just growing concern and a race against time.
When a child disappears, every minute matters.
Matthew is described as a white male, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing around 110 pounds, with distinctive red hair. At the time he was last seen, he was wearing blue shorts and a green shirt, and he was riding a black scooter. These details may seem small, but they could be the key to finding him.
Someone may have seen him.
Someone may remember passing by a boy on a scooter that day.
Someone may have noticed something that didn’t feel quite right.
And that “something” could make all the difference.
Authorities, including the North Charleston Police Department, have expressed serious concern for Matthew’s safety. While details surrounding his disappearance remain limited, the urgency in their message is clear: they need the public’s help.
This is where awareness becomes powerful.
In today’s world, information spreads faster than ever. A single post can reach thousands—sometimes millions—within minutes. But that only works if people choose to stop, read, and share. Too often, important messages are lost in the endless scroll of social media. Stories like Matthew’s risk being overlooked, not because people don’t care, but because they never fully see them.
That cannot happen here.
Because behind this case is a family living through one of the most terrifying experiences imaginable. Not knowing where your child is. Not knowing if they’re safe. Not knowing when—or if—you’ll see them again.
It’s a kind of fear that words can’t fully describe.
And yet, for Matthew’s loved ones, this is their reality right now.
Cases involving missing teenagers can be complex. Sometimes, assumptions are made—that they may have left voluntarily, that they’ll return on their own. But those assumptions can be dangerous. Every missing child deserves immediate attention and action, regardless of the circumstances.
Because even if there is uncertainty, the risk is always real.
Matthew is just 14 years old.
He is someone’s son. Someone’s friend. Someone who should be safe, not missing.
And right now, the most important thing is finding him.
Law enforcement is urging anyone with information—no matter how small—to come forward. You don’t need to have all the answers. Even a small detail could help piece together the bigger picture. A sighting, a memory, a tip—it could lead investigators in the right direction.
If you have any information about Matthew David Edny’s whereabouts, you are asked to call 911 immediately or contact the North Charleston Police Department.
Do not wait.
Do not assume someone else will report it.
Because sometimes, the one piece of information that changes everything comes from an ordinary person who simply chose to speak up.
This is why sharing matters.
It’s not just about raising awareness—it’s about increasing the chances that the right person sees the right information at the right time. The more people who know Matthew’s face, his description, and his story, the greater the likelihood of bringing him home.
So take a moment.
Look at the details.
Remember his name.
Share this with others.
Because right now, somewhere out there, a 14-year-old boy needs help.
And the difference between being lost and being found could come down to one person paying attention.
Let’s make sure that person exists.
