A family in Peekskill is desperately searching for a 17-year-old who went missing while swimming in the Delaware River.

Roy Escobar says his son Liony Polonia Santos was with friends swimming at Cedar Rapids in Sullivan County on the Fourth of July when he was swept away.

Another teen was saved, but Santos is still missing.

Sullivan County first responders have been searching for Santos, and Escobar has been searching along the banks of the campsite for the last 48 hours.

"I need someone to bring my son home, whether he's alive or not, bring my son home," says Escobar.

There have already been four drownings along the Delaware River in the past two weeks, two of those in Sullivan County.

On June 30, the county made a post on Facebook urging people who swim in the river to wear a lifejacket.
