HOMESTEAD, Fla. — A Missing Child Alert has been canceled for a teenager missing from the Homestead area.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) issued the alert for Daren Encarnacion, 15. He was last seen in the 1200 block of SE 29th Street in Homestead on July 9.

Encarnacion is 5 feet 4 inches tall, 110 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

He was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, grey sweatpants, and red sandals, officials said.

FDLE cancelled the alert around 6 p.m. Friday. The child was found safe.

“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”

South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
