Help find Sean Sidi

We need your help to find our son

A Note Claude and Lynn, the parents of Sean Sidi, missing 4 months today

From Lynn and Claude, 

Today marks 4 months that Sean has been MISSING…There are no words to describe the horrific change in our life – since that fateful day on May 21, 2013, when Sean’s cell phone went dead at 2 pm, and he did not return home. Everyday, we live a life of unfathomable sadness, depression and guilt. How could we have let this happen to our beautiful boy, who all his life strived to do the right thing….. a good student on his way to university and only beginning life’s journey. How could Sean have vanished from the city he loved so much!!? 

Sean’s room remains untouched. It is too painful to walk into his room as doing so reminds us too much of our loss...Sean with his beautiful smile and funny jokes, Sean so sweet and thoughtful, Sean the son who wrote the most touching Mother and Fathers Day cards that we will cherish forever. Sean, our beloved child who we miss SO, SO MUCH……. 

Everyday, we wonder whether we will ever see Sean again…. The only certainty in our life - is that we know that will NEVER stop searching for Sean. 

A note from Sidi Family Friend Kathleen Fazekas

Dear Sidi Friends and San Francisco Community,

Despite several searches by hundreds of people, and the distribution of over 30,000 missing person fliers, Sean has still not been located.  The Sidi Family continues to move forward in hopes of finding their son.  They have announced that they will be holding a “Joint Awareness Vigil” this coming Saturday, September 14th @ 2:00pm with 4 other families who also have sons missing from San Francisco.  Please join us if you can. Come hear the families speak about their on-going search for their missing sons, and what – if anything – San Francisco Police is doing to help locate these young men.

WHAT:          ‘Joint Awareness Vigil’ (attached is the flier)
WHERE:       Golden Gate Park – Music Concourse (next to Academy of Science) 
WHEN:         Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
WHY:            The purpose of the Joint Awareness Vigil is to raise public awareness of the families’ desperate search to locate their sons, ALL of whom went missing in San Francisco:  Sean Sidi (19 yrs old, missing May 21, 2013); Chrishtian Hughes (20 yrs old, missing February 7, 2013); Shawn Dickerson(age 24, missing December 2, 2011); Cameron Remmer (31 yrs old, missing October 6, 2011); Jackson Miller (23 yrs old, missing May 15, 2010).  

Why are so many young men missing from San Francisco?  What is San Francisco Police doing to help the families locate their sons?  Do missing boys in San Francisco get less attention from law enforcement than missing girls?  
 
According to Kym Pasqualini, Founder of the ‘National Center for Missing Adults, “These families have faced numerous barriers with San Francisco Police Department in their individual searches for their children, and their concern as to what exactly is being done by San Francisco Police, to find these young men is warranted.”  

PARKING OPTIONS: 1) Street; 2)  Music Concourse parking lot - enter Fulton & 10th / $5 per hour; 3) Event Parking behind Music Concourse - enter 9th/Lincoln or Fulton & 8th & drive to Music Concourse Dr ($ 8 /day).  You will need to have a copy of Sean's Missing Flier to show that you are part of event (attached is a copy of the flier); 4)  Kezar Lot (on Stanyan)

For continued updates on Sean, you may visit either Facebook or the website http://www.facebook.com/findseansidi and http://www.seansidi.com.  And for more information, you may contact Lynn Ching (Sean Sidi’s mom) 415-713-5913.

The Sidi’s greatly appreciate your continued support, as your support gives them strength to continue their search for Sean.

Thank you on behalf of the Sidi Family,

Kathleen Fazekas

We Remember . . . Save the Date: Saturday, September 14, 2013, at 2pm

Dear Family and Friends,
 
There is not a minute that goes by where we do not think of Sean and miss him so much it hurts… his smile, jokes and sweetness.  Below is a picture that captures some of Sean’s essence.   In this picture, Sean is white water rafting on a Class 4 rapid on the American River with Claude (Sean’s dad), good friend Jordan Malik, Phil Malik (Jordan’s dad) and 2 or 3 other people.   The river is swift, and Claude has just fallen overboard.   Through all the chaos, Sean (along with co-ham Phil) finds time to purposely turn to the camera and SMILE! 
 
We want so desperately to find Sean.   We know that we cannot do it alone and we will only find Sean if EVERYONE knows that Sean is missing and urgently needs medical care.
 
PLEASE ATTEND THE ‘JOINT AWARENESS VIGIL’ TO  HELP RAISE AWARENESS OF THE SEARCH FOR SEAN &  3 OTHER MISSING BOYS FROM SAN FRANCISCO:  JACKSON MILLER, CHRISHTIAN HUGHES AND SHAWN DICKERSON
 
When:   Saturday, September 14, 2013 at 2 pm
 
Where:  Music Concourse at Golden Gate Park
               (located next to Academy of Science) 
 
 
Together In Hope,
 
Lynn, Claude & Danielle Sidi

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
 

A video about Sean, who is much loved and missed by his family

Video Produced By Sean's cousin, Rachel Jones. 
 
"Sean is loved and missed by many people, including a very large family in Hawaii (mom's family) and relatives in Europe (dad's family). From the time that he was 3 months old, Sean regularly visited with relatives in Hawaii and Europe, getting to know both sides of his family.  This video provides a glimpse of Sean, bonding with his family in Hawaii."  
 
 Please watch video.
 
 

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
