POISONOUS & FALSE RUMORS about SEAN SIDI DISPELLED, DISPUTED and CHALLENGED


There is not a day that goes by that Claude and I do not grieve for Sean, our beloved first child.

To hear that someone within an “AGENCY” (to remain unnamed for now) recently parroted a false & malicious rumor about Sean in conversation with MEDIA was the LAST STRAW. The FALSE rumor, without basis, labeled Sean as “having connections within a TAGGING community” (i.e. one that defaces, or “tags” public property).

Be advised:         ***CLAUDE AND I WILL DEFEND SEAN'S NAME TO THE END ***


To those seeking to discredit Sean, it would behoove you to CONSULT THE RECORD, first before spreading slanderous rumors.

Sean was NOT a ‘child’ of destruction, but a creator of FILMS, websites and businesses. While in middle and high school, Sean co-founded & managed a successful online game & marketed his technological savvy to create WEBSITES for small businesses (for a FEE). He often used the proceeds from his business endeavors to fund another INTEREST – that of investing in stocks of the future (FB included). Sean volunteered as the Website Manager of Diasporic Vietnamese Artist Netowrk. He is bilingual in French, earning an International Baccalaureate (IB) from the ‘International High School in San Francisco, prior to enrolling at the U of Colorado at Boulder.

Sean’s interests included GYMNASTICS, Film Making, AIKIDO, soccer, SKIING, & boogie boarding.

It did NOT include tagging.

Sean SIDI Family Will Never Forget the Staff at San Francisco General Hospital

We were thrilled to hear of (FB's) Mark Zuckerberg & wife, Dr. Priscilla Chan's $75 million gift to SF General HOSPITAL. See http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Zuckerberg-wife-give-75-million-to-S-F-hospital-6065958.php.


WE will never forget the incredible doctors and nurses at SF GENERAL WHO worked around the clock for days to SAVE Sean's LIFE....that fateful day 2 yrs ago...when Sean arrived at SF's only LEVEL 1 TRAUMA CENTER -- IN a COMA, with a SHATTERED skull & many, many other injuries....racing towards DEATH.

Several months ago, near the time of Sean's 2 year 'anniversary' of his accident, I received a call from a nurse at SF General. She told me that SEVERAL of the nurses REMEMBERED that it had been 2 years since Sean's ACCIDENT, and that they wanted ME to know that THEY HAD NOT FORGOTTEN SEAN or our family.....I was incredibly touched by that call.

We HOPE with all our heart that ONE DAY we will be able to tell SF General (& all of YOU) that Sean has been FOUND..........Thank you all for continuing to support us in this effort!

SOCKS FOR SEAN SIDI DISTRIBUTION TODAY!!

"SOCKS for Sean" DISTRIBUTION - TODAY -

THANK YOU ALL so MUCH FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATION OF SOCKS!! Today, Claude and I and a group of friends spent the DAY distributing your SOCK DONATIONS, hamburgers, granola bars, FRUIT SNACKS and toothbrushes to the kids & others living in Golden Gate Park (San Francisco, CA). OF COURSE, we also distributed Sean's (& the Cal Missing 5's) FLIERS.

It was so nice to speak to the young people (most were in their 20's) living in the park. A few were NEWLY ARRIVED from Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, Idaho, & Portland OR. Others were from CAL. Some had heard of SEAN - others had NOT. The kids were ALL very polite & SO appreciative of your SOCK DONATIONS. (Though next time we will also bring WATER as many asked for that...) THANKS to you MANY will have warm & clean socks on their feet TONIGHT.

Thanks ALSO to our DEAR friends Phil, Pilo, Jenny, Margaret, Basil & Dave who spent the day helping us distribute the socks. It's HARD to be a friend of the SIDI Family these days, we know.... From Martini Parties (of days past) to VIGILS, POSTING FLIERS & SOCK DISTRIBUTIONS, & no end in sight....!! We count ourselves lucky to have YOU as friends!

ALWAYS IN HOPE,

LYNN, Claude & DANIELLE

SIDI Family on San Francisco Police Search for Sean SIDI

A reporter recently asked my opinion of San Francisco Police’s search for Sean…..here are some thoughts.

Chief Tim Longo (of Virginia) is my HERO. For 35 days, the nation watched spellbound as Chief Longo, with heart and soul, led the search for missing U of VA student Hannah Graham. In the end, Chief Longo’s incredible determination resulted in the arrest of a suspect (possibly involved in several missing/murdered cases), the location of Hannah’s remains…& ANSWERS for Hannah’s family.

Truthfully, it is hard NOT to compare. Hard NOT to be bitter about the blatant disregard exhibited by SAN FRANCISCO Missing Persons Dept, in the search for SEAN, the CALIFORNIA MISSING FIVE & others (details omitted).

HOWEVER, ultimately it is the SYSTEM that is to blame. A SYSTEM that ALLOWED a less than motivated detective to CHOOSE to take a “wait & see” attitude rather than REQUIRING that certain search protocol be COMPETENTLY completed. A SYSTEM that allowed this detective to IGNORE dire warning by Chief of Neurosurgery at SF General to elevate Sean’s status due to a “high risk of death”.

My criticism of the SYSTEM however does not obviate our IMMENSE GRATITUDE to the many SAN FRANCISCO POLICE officers WHO helped search for Sean…who responded to the many sightings, who helped post SEAN’S fliers at the MUNI stations, who on their OWN time attended the vigils for Sean, who came up to me to express their SYMPATHY & who CONTINUE to keep an eye out for Sean… to THOSE officers - we are ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.
