THE family of missing Scott Diver have launched an emotional appeal on behalf of his father.
The 16-year-old has been missing for three weeks despite a number of reported sightings being sent to police.
Scott was last seen at around 2:45pm on September 17, at his home in Clydebank’s Second Avenue.
In a heartbreaking post shared on the Missing People Scotland Facebook page, Scott’s cousin Linzi Mullen spoke of his dad’s pain.
She wrote: “No love is greater than that of a father for his son. These pictures say it all. Breaks my heart.
“3 weeks have now passed and wee Scott is out there somewhere & someone has got to have seen him!
“Come home Scotty you’re loved & missed so much!”
“And if you can see this your dad’s hurting so much & misses and loves you loads.”
Her post follows a similar plea from Scott’s devastated gran Evelyn, who has been part of a group of frantic family and friends sharing regular updates and pleas for information via social media.
Last week, officers working on the case released fresh CCTV images of Scott walking through Dalmuir Park in his hometown on the day he vanished.
The pictures show him wearing a navy blue Adidas tracksuit, a white t-shirt, and blue Adidas training shoes.
Inspector John Mullen said: “The two images we are issuing today have been identified as Scott – this is the last confirmed known sighting of him.
“As the weather was favourable that day, there were a number of people within the park who may have seen Scott.
“I would urgently ask anyone who remembers being in the park and who might have seen Scott to get in touch with us. Even if you don’t believe you may have seen Scott in the park please contact the Police as you may have information that is pertinent to our enquiry.
“It is now over two weeks since Scott has gone missing and we remain concerned for his welfare.
“His family and friends are very distressed at his disappearance. He is a young boy who is vulnerable and needs to be home with his family. Please contact police on 101 or via the dedicated e-mail address – scottdiverinquiry@scotland.pnn.police.uk if you have any information.”
