A Texas mother is fearing the worst after not hearing from her 25-year-old son, Taylour Young, in three weeks, but she doesn’t have time to waste as she works to figure out exactly what happened to him.

Young’s mother Tiffany Robinson told KTRK News she used the Find My iPhone application to ping her son’s mobile device immediately after he went missing, eventually finding it in the bushes near the location he was last seen.
While Houston Police Department officers initially said they didn’t believe foul play is involved, the grieving mother says she and their family wants answers, adding it’s both a puzzle and a nightmare.
“I don’t have the option to be weak, because my son doesn’t know me to be weak,” Robinson told KTRK News. “I have my moments where I break down and cry. I have my moments when I don’t want to get out of bed, but I can’t. That’s not how my child knows me.”
Robinson established the hashtag #bringtaylourhome on Twitter and Instagram to raise awareness to his disappearance.
