Parents of missing boy appeal to the LGBT Community in Brighton for help to find their son
Andrew Gosden, disappeared from his home in Doncaster on September 14, 2007 and travelled to London. Since then his parents have no evidence he is alive and well.Extensive national publicity throughout the UK has brought no success so his parents are now trying to raise awareness in the LGBT community in Brighton and Hove of their sons disappearance.
Andrew is now 15 years of age and was 5’3” when he left home; he might be taller now and the colour of his hair might have changed.
Andrew’s reasons for leaving home are completely unknown. His parents feel that Andrew might have been struggling with his sexual identity and felt unable to talk to them about it. They do not wish to impose any particular views or lifestyle upon him and only want to know he is safe and well and to offer any support they can to him.
There have been sightings of Andrew, mainly in London and the South East. Do you know of anyone new to Brighton over this period of time that may fit Andrew’s description? Images and press articles relating to Andrew’s missing status can readily be located by entering his name in any search engine under 'web' or 'images' and on Youtube.
