According to Weiss, Chase was last seen in Riverside, Calif., but he remains determined to reach out to him.
“I reached out to some friends of mine and we have a bed for him at a detox and we have a place for him to go and get long-term treatment,” Weiss said.
“Please DM me so we can get him some help in time for the holiday,” Weiss added, writing in a caption, “We have a bed for him at a detox.”
Previously, a different video of Chase prompted concerned fans to launch a GoFundMe campaign; however, Chase’s mother later ended the fundraiser, stating her son required medical help rather than monetary support.
