Tammy McBride and her son Tommie-Khai have been missing for a week
Police say they are "very concerned" over the disappearance of a mother and her two-year-old son who have not been seen for a week.
Tammy McBride was last seen in a supermarket in Grays, Essex, with her son Tommie-Khai on 25 June.
An Essex Police officer made an appeal to Ms McBride, saying she would be feeling "a lot of emotional pressure".
"We are concerned you may be running out of money and will struggle to get by," said Ch Insp Leigh Norris.
"I know that you feel you are doing what is best for Tommie-Khai as his mum and that you are feeling under a lot of emotional pressure.
"My primary concern is to know you are both safe and are appealing for you to bring Tommie-Khai home," he said.
Ms McBride is in her 40s with shoulder-length blonde hair, and was last seen wearing blue jeans a white top.
Her son Tommie-Khai was wearing a rainbow-coloured striped t-shirt when the pair were last seen in Morrisons in London Road, Grays.
