Search for Sean SIDI, February 22, 2016

21. February 2016 23:16 / Lynn Ching / Comments (0)

2 years, 8 months, 28 days. 

Yes, there are days when we are so weighed down by grief that we think we cannot possibly rebound. 

But we have found that words of HOPE can sometimes come from unexpected places...

On one particularly bad day, a HOMELESS man stopped me on the street. He said that he recognized me and that he knew that I was the mom of a "missing boy with the head injury." I told him a mother's pain at the loss of her child is indescribable. He looked at me and said "fathers too" can relate to that pain, then proceeded to inform me that he had a daughter and did not know how he would cope if she went missing. 

He encouraged me to hold onto HOPE and to NEVER GIVE UP...... 

Sean is out there somewhere and we will search for him till the end of our days. 

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..

Update: San Francisco Police Issues BOLO for SEAN SIDI - January 16, 2016

23. January 2016 21:02 / Lynn Ching / Comments (0)

San Francisco Police has issued another nationwide BOLO (Be On the Lookout) for Sean.    

    

People often ask how we cope.  Truthfully, it's been a very long 2.5+ years - missing Sean so much, but barely being able to look at his picture, or talk about him - for all the pain memory brings.    

 

 

We know with 100% certainty that Sean did not vanish into thin air on May 21, 2013, from Golden Gate Park (SF-CA).  Our search for Sean will continue for as long as it takes to get answers. 

 

If you would like to help in the search for Sean, please SHARE Sean's flier with a shelter or food kitchen - anywhere in the U.S.  We will provide fliers to anyone requesting them: 415.713.5913 or lynnkching@yahoo.com.  Truly, EVERY FLIER COUNTS.

October 18, 2015 - Search for Sean SIDI Continues

18. October 2015 20:55 / Lynn Ching / Comments (0)

I duplicate most of the posts on www.facebook.com/findseansidi.   However, not all of the articles or comments (of hundreds) can be shared.  If you'd like to access it, Sean's FB page is set up as a public page and you should be able to access it without a FB account.   If you try it and have problems, please let me know.   lynnkching@yahoo.com. 

Here is the FB Post of Saturday, 10/17/2015:

It has been 2 Years, 4 Months, 26 Days, since I last saw and hugged Sean. 

There has been NO "dimming" of anguish or pain, NOR will there be, UNTIL we "know"....

Every so often, the veneer of cheer and normalcy that we both "put on'" each day - cracks.....It took me off guard when Claude, who is particularly good at masking his pain with smiles - on our drive to work - said out of the blue......."It's a miracle we haven't yet had a nervous breakdown..."

I couldn't have stated it up more succinctly myself..

Thanks for listening, sharing, caring, posting, & keeping an eye out for Sean.   We could not have made it this far without the support and love so many of you have extended to our family.  

 

Below: Fliers of Sean still being posted thanks to many. Here are a FEW: Fairfax Roastery, CA (♥ Tina!); San Leandro, CA (♥ Ann A); EBAY STORE 'Raynibo' of Bo's Boutique sending Sean's flier across the country (♥ Rayni!); Ellen B who distributed Fliers in Nashville N.C., (no pic). 

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 VERY FAR from SF- lost amongst the homeless with no memory

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

19. July 2015 15:16 / Lynn Ching / Comments (0)

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. 

 

See www.seansidi.com or www.facebook.com/findseansidi for more information on Sean SIDIi missing from San Francisco CA May 21, 2013 shortly after sustaining a traumatic brain injury. If you are willing to post a flier or two anywhere in the U.S., pls email lynnkching@yahoo.com for fliers.
