Words of HOPE about Sean SIDI, from a Street Youth

Over the past 10 months since our son, Sean SIDI went missing from San Francisco on May 21, 2013, we have been blessed with the support of MANY -

Recently Lynn (Sean's mom) received an email from a street youth who was a former missing person, who we will call 'MM'. MM has lived in Golden Gate Park and is wise to the ways of the streets. She also has been on the look out for Sean (SIDI) - for some time now. MM is aware that Sean suffered a life threatening traumatic brain injury shortly before going missing, and may not be cognizant of who he is/we are.

 

THE email from MM said:

 

"I tried with a group to find Sean at GGP (Golden Gate Park). I was a missing youth for a few years and I know that a young person can be successful and healthy with his injuries. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP HOPE."

 

Thank you MM for your letter of HOPE, AND for searching for Sean!! 

Lynn, Claude & Danielle SIDI

         Renee Callantine That's a wonderful photo. I was at the US District Court in San Jose yesterday and they have Sean's flyer prominently displayed on a stand next to the elevators. You are certainly doing the best you can possibly do to find him, and I pray that he comes home soon.

FIND SEAN SIDI Really? Thank you SO much for letting us know Renee! Thank you also to the person(s) responsible for getting Sean's flier there! In part, HOPE comes from knowing that awareness of the search for Sean is still alive. Thanks to social media and most of all - to SO MANY COMPASSIONATE PEOPLE - we stand a chance of finding Sean. At minimum, I hope that the search for Sean brings awareness to the 2,000 people who go missing every day & how public awareness CAN make a difference to many who go missing. MANY missing (of which a good number are like Sean, that is, vulnerable and at high risk due to a cognitive medical condition) are found by alert, caring members of the public. In Hope, Lynn (Sean's mom

Comments from 2 POLICE OFFICERS about SEAN SIDI

The roller coaster of hope & disappointment continue. I try to survive by going through the exhausting process of blocking out all thoughts of my personable, good natured , charming son, who - despite the horrific accident, had the promise of a fulfilling LIFE ahead of him. Unlike a death, where pain may dim over time, the loss of having a MISSING CHILD & the anguish of NOT KNOWING become more PAINFUL as time passes, with HOPES diminished and ANXIETY INCREASING - wondering whether I will LIVE out my life NOT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO SEAN......

This week, we got some help from 2 kind San Francisco Police officers. I approached 2 policemen at the Montgomery MUNI/BART station IN SAN FRANCISCO with Sean's fliers. After speaking to them, they ASKED me if I had more fliers - which of course I did. They took a stack, and had the station agent (at Montgomery) post the flier In the STATION window. They said they would distribute the fliers to other station agents. WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO THE 2 SAN FRANCISCO POLICE OFFICERS FOR THEIR HELP. 

INTERESTINGLY, when I asked both police officers if they would recognize Sean among the homeless, they BOTH said they would RECOGNIZE SEAN'S DIMPLES (whether smiling or not)!!! I thought that was interesting as several people have said the same thing. 

Please keep your EYES open for SEAN, among the HOMELESS, LIKELY looking FAR from the well groomed boy in these photos, except for his signature DIMPLES & BRACES....

See www.facebook.com/findseansidi or www.seansidi.com for more information on the desperate search for critically injured Sean SIDI, age 19, missing from San Francisco May 21, 2013.

If you would like to help post/distribute Sean’s missing person fliers (anywhere in the U.S.) please message or email lynnkching@yahoo.com to have fliers mailed to you. 

Sean is 19 yrs., is asian/white; 5'5" 120 lbs slim build; wears silver dental braces; right eye droops slightly; bump on right forehead from brain surgery; has dimples. SEAN IS IN URGENT NEED OF MEDICAL CARE.

CAR WINDOWS AND THE SEARCH FOR SEAN SIDI

Another “Sean” sighting was called in today from San Francisco (9th and Irving). After further inquiry, it does not appear to have been Sean, however, we greatly appreciate the call. 

Please know that ALL but 1 the 100+ “Sean sightings” we have received occurred after someone saw Sean’s flier. 

PLEASE CONSIDER POSTING 2 – 3 FLIERS IN A PLACE CONVENIENT FOR YOU, and REPOSTING IT – as needed - EACH WEEK. WE DESPERATELY NEED FLIERS AT GROUND ZERO (CALIFORNIA) and ELSEWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES!!!. 

HERE IS ONE IDEA WE WOULD LIKE TO REVISIT - POSTING SEAN’S FLIER IN YOUR CAR WINDOW. 

Lisa V. recently wrote…..” We have Sean’s flyer taped to our car window, so that wherever we go we are a moving sign. Many, many people have commented on it saying they have seen the flyers and they how things are going with the search. It is a simple way to get a lot of notice.”

Laurie M said, “I have also posted a sign 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.”

Two weeks ago a nice gentlemen approached Claude and me in the Safeway parking lot, after seeing Sean’s flier in our car window. He asked us whether we had more fliers (which of course we did), as he wanted a stack to pass out. He had heard about our search for Sean at the vigil in Golden Gate Park, and since then has Sean’s flier posted at his shop at Geary and 26 Avenue.

PLEASE KNOW THAT EVERY FLIER COUNTS in our desperate search for Sean SIDI. If you would like to help post/distribute Sean’s missing person fliers (anywhere in the U.S.) please email lynnkching@yahoo.com to have fliers mailed to you.

Sean is 19 yrs., is asian/white; 5'5" 120 lbs slim build; wears silver dental braces; right eye droops slightly; bump on right forehead from brain surgery; has dimples. SEAN IS IN URGENT NEED OF MEDICAL CARE. 

Below is a photo of Sean after 2 brain surgeries and a surgery to repair a broken wrist. Sean could barely walk after his accident late 2012. He built up his strength after leaving the hospital by hiking. 

 

MESSAGE FROM CAPTAIN McFADDEN OF SAN FRANCISCO POLICE RE: SEAN SIDI


Last week we asked Captain McFadden, Commander of the Special Victims / Missing Persons Unit to authorize a statewide BOLO (Be on the Lookout) for Sean SIDI. This had been recommended by various law enforcement agencies.

TODAY, Captain McFadden confirmed that SFPD has re-issued a statewide APB (All Points Bulletin) NetFlyer for Sean.

THANK YOU CAPTAIN McFADDEN AND SAN FRANCISCO POLICE FOR ALERTING LAW ENFORCEMENT THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA - OF THE SEARCH FOR SEAN SIDI!!!

In Hope,

The Sidi Family
