Mom begs missing son to come home following NYC disappearance — after apparently meeting Roblox connection
The distraught mother of a missing 15-year-old boy police believe traveled to New York City more than two weeks ago to meet someone he connected with on Roblox is begging her son to come home — promising that he’s “not in trouble.”
Thomas Medlin hopped on a Big Apple-bound train after leaving Long Island on Jan. 9, seemingly to link up with a person he met on the popular online game.
The Saint James native left the Stony Brook School — a ritzy college prep school that costs more than $70,000 per year for kids who live on the campus — and was caught on surveillance camera arriving at Grand Central Terminal hours after he boarded a Long Island Rail Road train.

Medlin’s mother, Eva Yan, is now pleading for her son — or whoever he may be staying with — to let her know he’s OK.
Investigators believe the teen met someone online and arranged to connect with them in city — something the heartbroken mom said is out of character for her teen son.
Police recently told the family the boy’s phone was located in Lower Manhattan and he was recently spotted on surveillance video in Brooklyn, according to Yan.
Roblox told The Post over that weekend that it is cooperating fully with the investigation.

“We are deeply troubled by this incident and are working with law enforcement to support their investigation,” a company spokesperson said in a statement.
Yan believes Medlin was able to bypass parental features she had put in place by secretly creating new Roblox accounts she did not know about with a separate email address, she told Fox.
Sources said an internal probe didn’t reveal any suspicious activity in his disappearance.
“We love him so much. We want him to even send us a message.Whoever person he’s staying with, have a kind heart and let us parents know … he’s safe, nobody’s going to harm him,” she said on Fox & Friends Tuesday morning.
“Whenever he’s ready to come home, let us know where to pick him up. And he’s not in trouble at all. We love him more than anything in [our lives],” she added.
Medlin was described by police as 5-foot, four-inches tall and weighing 130 pounds.
He was last seen wearing a black jacket with red stripes, dark sweatpants with white stripes, a black backpack and glasses.
