Get in touch plea

A worried father today appealed to his missing teenage son to get in touch - a month after he vanished. Andrew disappeared on September 14th after failing to turn up at school in Doncaster, South Yorkshire.There have been various possible sightings of him in areas of the capital, but he has failed to get in contact with family or friends.His father, Kevin, 41, said: "We still believe he is in London but we have had absolutely no contact with him whatsoever. I spent last weekend in London distributing leaflets and visiting places where he might be.''
"A lot of my family live in London. It's familiar to him. It's a big exciting place. Because we have no clear or proven sightings of him it is very difficult to know where to look.''However, Mr Gosden said his son seemed happy with his life with no obvious problems."The night before he went I spent about an hour-and-a-half playing a game with him and chatting about school. There was nothing to suggest he was unhappy.''
Message to Andrew
Mr Gosden said his message to his son was simple:
"Please get in touch. We love you, we care about you desperately. Please let us know you are ok.''South Yorkshire Police has appealed for help in tracing the youngster, who is a member of a Government programme designed to stretch the top 5% of pupils.Andrew's mother, Glenys, 43, and sister, Charlotte, 16, have also been down in London trying to chase up the leads and sightings passed on by police.Andrew, who is 5ft 3in, of slim build with straight brown hair, is believed to be wearing a black top, black jeans, trainers and was carrying a black bag with patches of rock bands on.
Anyone with information as to his whereabouts is asked to contact South Yorkshire Police on 0114 220 2020.
