The grandmother of a Tennessee boy with autism who has been missing for more than a month wants people on social media to stop trying to capitalize on the case.
The search for 15-year-old Sebastian Rogers continues after he mysteriously disappeared from his home on Feb. 25.
Sebastian's grandmother, Robin Rogers, warned YouTubers who are trying to gain clicks from the family's sorrow to stop.
"If you are going to get out here and pound the ground and look for him without your GoPro or whatever on, You're going to be out here doing what needs to be done to bring our grandson home, we appreciate it. But if you're just out there just making money, just stay away."
The grandmother of #SebastianRogers had some very clear words.

Sebastian was last seen that night when his mother said she put him to bed in their Hendersonville home.
The next morning, he was gone, his mother told police, who issued an AMBER Alert.
A prayer vigil was held on Saturday evening just ahead of the six-week mark since he disappeared.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is also assisting in locating the missing teen, who was last seen wearing a black sweatshirt, black sweatpants, and glasses.
Sebastian is 5-foot-5-inches tall, 120 lbs., with brown hair and brown eyes.
The TBI has affirmed that there are no signs of foul play in Sebastian's disappearance, but there is also no evidence definitively ruling it out.
"While we had hoped for a different outcome, our commitment to finding Sebastian remains unwavering," Sumner County Sheriff Sonny Weatherford said in a previous statement.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to contact the Sumner County Sheriff's Office at 615-451-3838 or the TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.
