Thanksgiving 2015 - Search for SEAN SIDI

We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with loved ones.

It was our 3rd Thanksgiving without Sean. We had a small group (15) of family and close friends at our home on Thanksgiving Day. While not with us in body, Sean was VERY 'PRESENT' in our minds and hearts, as many friends shared their fondest memories of Sean. Wrapped in the love of those near and dear, we somehow made it through a very emotional & difficult day. 

Leads are still being called in, thanks to many of you sharing and POSTING. A RECENT TIP (LAST WEEK) was called in (from Golden Gate Park, San Francisco) with a video & picture. Unfortunately it was not Sean. However, I am grateful to the young man who called it in. He told me that he keeps Sean's flier with him. We will continue to keep you updated. 

With all our Love & Thanks, 

Lynn, Claude & Danielle 

Pictures:   Thank you ALL for the sock donations.   I distribute a few each week to those living on the streets (along with the hygiene donations).  However, we have tentatively planned a bigger distribution early December 2015.  If you would like to donate a pair of thick warm socks for the homeless, pls mail to:  "Socks for Sean", c/o Dr. Claude Sidi, 450 Sutter Street, #1819, San Francisco, CA 94108.  

 

see www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information about Sean SIDI, who vanished from San Francisco, CA on May 21, 2013, (at age 19), shortly after sustaining a severe traumatic brain injury. Please keep an eye out for Sean - who may be lost amongst the homeless with no memory - very FAR from S.F.. We will provide FLIERS to anyone requesting them: email lynnkching@yahoo.com or PM.  PLEASE SEND ALL TIPS TO # & email on Sean's Flier: lynnkching@yahoo.com 

August 22, 2015 Update re: Oceanside, CA Search for SEAN SIDI

The surveillance shots we viewed (at Vista Sprinter Station) based on the caller's time, place etc. - were NOT Sean. We emailed the shots to the person who CALLED IN the sighting and he does not believe the screen shots (we sent 2 different persons) was the "Sean" that he saw..however, we did not see any other 'match'. The code enforcement officer did not recall speaking to someone meeting our Sean's description. Therefore, and while the search continues in Oceanside, CA - the sighting remains UNCONFIRMED. 

We don't know how our "story" will end. We do know that we have to pursue every viable lead, because the ONE time that we DON'T follow a lead - is the 1 time that it WILL be SEAN. 

PHOTOS remain the best way to confirm a sighting. ANY PHOTO at ANY ANGLE (send 415.713.5913). BEST WAYS TO SPOT SEAN:

1. BIG HAIR - WAVY & BIG when LONG. SEE PHOTO of Sean's dad and Sean as baby. Compare to photo with SHORT hair (PHOTO). 

2. DIMPLES - Law enforcement commented how obvious these were even when Sean is NOT smiling.

3. BRACES - If they are still on - they are silver.

4. BI-LINGUAL IN FRENCH - If you speak to Sean in French, particularly if you are a native speaker, he will almost ALWAYS respond in French...

5. OTHER: slim build, right eye droops slightly, bump on right forehead from accident. He may NOT know his name.

6. ANYWHERE - CASES have proven - missing persons, particularly those with head injuries, can end up VERY FAR from home, even with no money. 

Thank you ALL for your help, prayers and support.

FROM SEAN SIDI FAMILY - BEWARE of SCAM: $2,750 “FINE” for POSTING A MISSING PERSON FLIER

Yesterday, I had lunch with someone who talked about a friend’s FEAR of posting her missing child's FLIER - after paying a huge "FINE" for the "CRIME" of posting her son's missing person flier in San Francisco.

 

I was abruptly reminded of our own experience.

 

Eight days after Sean went missing, WE RECEIVED A SIMILAR 'FINE' - demanding $2,750 for posting Sean's fliers.   Page 1 of the 3 page letter is attached, with our address redacted.

 

The letter (with a SF City Hall address & payee address at Dept of Public Works) was received while we were REELING & in total SHOCK from the events of May 21, 2013, the day Sean vanished…. I'm sure the timing was purposeful.

 

HOWEVER, we did NOT pay this ridiculous "FINE". Instead, we turned the letter over to the POLICE who CONFIRMED the "FINE" was NOT legitimate!!!!!!!!!

 

To the family above – DO WHAT YOU MUST– POST your son’s flier.  

 

TO ALL, BEWARE OF SCAMS preying upon vulnerable families with missing loved ones!   If you know of such a family, please pass this information along to them.

HAWAII - Have you Seen SEAN SIDI?

It's been 2 years, and Sean is still missing! 

We have started distributing Sean's flier in HAWAII..just in case...Sean spent many years visiting family here & who knows.....This was recommended by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) - which also extended their search area to Hawaii.

California Superior Court Weighs in on the Search for Sean SIDI

 

Summary:   Given CALIFORNIA Superior Court's recent ORDER re: Sean, we are seeking INPUT from those with contacts or familiarity with hospitals and/or psychiatric facilities (anywhere in the U.S.), to help us ascertain the right persons/department to send the COURT ORDER & Sean's flier.......See details below. 

 

                                             *******


Dear Friends,

 

As most of you know, Sean suffered a serious brain injury a few months before he went missing on May 21, 2013. If Sean is alive, it is very likely he accessed (or will access) medical care. However, it is also likely that HIPPA privacy laws would prevent hospitals from contacting us and/or releasing information. **** See real-life story of another family below.

 

Recognizing Sean's fragility, the California Superior COURT in San Francisco recently issued a VERY unusual ORDER which sidesteps HIPPA & authorizes health care providers that have treated SEAN - to RELEASE Sean's medical information (including any information indicating he has recently been treated) to Lynn, his mother. The order will also allow us to speak with Sean's doctors & plan a course of care before & after Sean is located. 

 

In an attempt to LOCATE Sean, we intend to send Sean's FLIER & the COURT's ORDER TO MEDICAL & PSYCHIATRIC FACILITIES across the U.S., starting with CALIFORNIA. 

 

HOWEVER, the BIG CHALLENGE is routing the COURT ORDER to the RIGHT PERSON or department at the medical facility who will check whether Sean previously accessed medical care AND who will RED FLAG Sean's name (or any John Doe matching his description), in the event that Sean LATER accesses medical care. (Sean does have very good medical insurance.)

 

If you have experience working with  hospitals and/or any psychiatric clinic system, county or private, we would greatly appreciate your input, feedback, and guidance in this matter.  

Please email lynnkching@yahoo.com.

 

Thank you ALL!
The SIDI FAMILY 

 

****Many other families searching for loved ones - face this problem with the HIPPA privacy laws. See https://www.facebook.com/MissingJasonDealba?fref=ts for one real life story,  Jason was recently found in San Diego, 2 years after going missing from ILL.   Jason's mom posts about specific issues related to the HIPPA laws when trying to advocate for her son's care.
