SEAN SIDI SEARCH UPDATE

 
OUR FAMILY UPDATE OF OUR SEARCH FOR SEAN
 
WHAT WE KNOW
 
SEAN has now been missing for over 3 months!!!  It is our understanding that tips continue to be called in to San Francisco Police. We hope SFPD is following up on the calls.  We know that Sean is in urgent need of medical care.  
 
We believe that Sean is not cognizant of who or where he is – and that he cannot find his way home on his own. We know that Sean did NOT plan to leave - as it is undisputed that Sean made plans with his former teacher to return to school the next day, to download some films. 
 
We have not ruled out foul play. Sean’s compromised physical and mental condition puts him at HIGH risk of victimization. We are hoping that Sean is being cared for by individuals who may not yet know that we are searching for Sean. It is possible that Sean is living among the homeless on the streets.
 
 
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SEE SEAN
 
If you see Sean,  call  9-1-1 and Sean’s Parents at 415.713.5913.
 
Based on comments from the public, the San Francisco police telephone numbers on the fliers do NOT appear to result in immediate action.   
 
You may also CALL or TEXT information and/or a picture of Sean at 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com.
 
 
HOW YOU CAN HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE SEARCH FOR  SEAN
 
1.    Attend the Joint Awareness Vigil on September 14, 2013 at 2 pm (exact location in San Francisco TBA) 
 
Your attendance at the vigil will GREATLY help to raise awareness of the search for Sean. 
 
 
2.    Post Sean’s Reward Flier on Your CAR WINDOW    
 
One friend who recently drove to Southern California said, “I have also posted [Sean’s Reward Flier] on a car window in each of our cars.  I cannot tell you the number of people who have read the sign.  When I am driving, people look over. When the car is parked, they stop to read it.  Also, the car moves around so people in other neighborhoods (and in Southern California and wherever we go) pay attention…..”
 
 
3.    Post Sean’s Flier – Everywhere…
 
Whether you live in San Francisco or elsewhere, PLEASE POST Sean’s flier. There are still many people who do not know that Sean is missing. Sean cannot be found unless people know that he is missing!! Many people are posting on business trips, or as they travel on vacation. In San Francisco, the fliers are pulled down very quickly by street cleaners and must be re-posted constantly. STORE WINDOWS are great!  Someone said fliers posted on tree support posts (not trees) work.  She said the tree keepers do not appear to take the fliers down. 
 
Email lynnkching@yahoo.com to request that fliers to be mailed to you.
 
 
4.    Distribute Sean’s Flier to Police on the streets, Emergency Hospital Rooms, Taxi Drivers, Homeless Shelters, Soup Kitchens, Homeless Persons…. Share, Tweet, Spread the Word…..Ask everyone you know to do the same.
 
We know that Sean will be found – ONLY with the public’s help.
 
Thank You All !!   We continue to hope that we will see Sean, soon. 
 
Claude, Lynn and Danielle Sidi
 

Thank you all for your continued support searching for our son Sean Sidi

We have been overwhelmed by the support we continue to receive from all of you - as our desperate search for Sean enters its 3rd month.    
 
Thanks to Juan and Rosa Maria Mames and Family,  Sean’s ‘Missing Person’  banner  (8’W x 3’L ) has recently been installed on the outside of a building in the Mission district of San Francisco on Valencia St (at 21st).  A picture of Sean’s banner is pictured here.
 
A very large version of Sean’s Reward Poster (3’W x 4’L) is being displayed in downtown San Francisco at 234 Bush Street (between Montgomery and Sansome Street), and in South San Francisco, courtesy of Mike Campbell and Family. We understand that another 3’W x 4’L version of Sean’s Reward Poster is in the window of the post office in Placerville, California.
 
And of course, many, many volunteers continue to post Sean’s fliers in San Francisco (where they are taken down regularly by street cleaners, and must be reposted) and across the United States !!!!
 
We continue to hope that we will be able to hold Sean in our arms, one day - soon. 
 
Thank you ALL !!!!
 
With Deepest Gratitude,
 
The SIDI Family

A message from Help Find Crishtian Hughes

Crishtian Hughes and Sean Sidi are only 19 and 20 years old with their whole lives ahead of them. They should have been enjoying a beautiful summer with their family and friends and everything thing life has to offer for kids this age.

Instead they went missing mysteriously exactly three months apart within a few miles from one another. The two of them do not know each other. Their parents have come to know each other and are fighting with everything they have to find them.


Please pray for these boys, They need to be found.

Keep Hope Alive - A Personal Message to Family & Friends

Save the Date!! – SATURDAY, September 14, 2013 at 2 pm (San Francisco, location TBD)
 
KEEP HOPE ALIVE!
 
Dear Family and Friends,
 
It has been almost 3 months since Sean vanished without a trace.  There are no words to describe the ache, agony and devastation that we feel each and every minute of the day.   We cannot envision a time without our sweet, smiling Sean - who brought so much joy and laughter into our lives.  The best friend of his sister, Danielle…the boy who is … so funny and outgoing – you felt like you had known him forever.
 
There are days where feelings of utter hopelessness threaten to consume us.  We try and remember the words of Kym Pasqualini, the Founder of ‘National Center for Missing Adults’, whose wisdom comes from 20 years of working with missing persons. Kym’s words of HOPE are:  
 
 “ … we solved hundreds of cases including missing person cases, unsolved homicides, and unidentified by someone seeing a post on the Internet (or flier) and calling in a lead.  It comes down to this.   Locating missing persons and solving crimes depends upon not only law enforcement but the cooperative efforts of law enforcement, advocating agencies, the media and most importantly the public.   
 
Feeling utterly discouraged is normal, questioning the effectiveness of efforts important but all too often missing persons fall through the cracks because people don't know they are missing…..”
 
On Saturday, September 14, 2013, we will hold a JOINT AWARENESS VIGIL to help spread the word about the search for Sean and 2 other missing boys from San Francisco:  Jackson Miller and Crishtian Hughes.    
 
Your attendance will GREATLY help ensure that Sean, Crishtian and Jackson DO NOT FALL THROUGH THE CRACKS.    
 
PLEASE SAVE THE DATE!!!

Searching For Sean - More From Santa Cruz

We spent another busy day in Santa Cruz - posting Sean's fliers and making contact with soup kitchens, homeless shelters and other organizations providing services to those in need.   Everyone was very helpful and encouraging and they took many of Sean's fliers to share with others working with the homeless.

Page - a worker at St Frances soup kitchen told us that she had recently 'found' a man who had been missing for a year.  She recognized him from a photo sent by the missing man's sister - and put the man in touch with his sister.  Page said that it was like finding a needle in the haystack.

We continue to hope and pray that we  will be reunited with Sean soon.

Searching for Sean in Santa Cruz and Capitola

This weekend we took our search for Sean to Santa Cruz and Capitola.  Many fliers were posted near high foot traffic areas such as the Boardwalk, beaches, and downtown.  We also distributed Sean's fliers to local law enforcement and posted to community boards.

Many people we encountered in Santa Cruz had not yet heard of the search for Sean.  However, all were very sympathetic and promised to keep their eyes open for him.

We know without a doubt that Sean cannot be found unless people know that he is missing. We are determined to increase our efforts to raise awareness about our search for Sean.

THANK YOU to all who continue to post Sean's fliers and who tirelessly work to spread the word about Sean.  We are very grateful for your continued support during this very difficult time.
