Thank you BOO & I'm sure leelapops won't mind>>>!
Sorry to post on your thread, leelapops - long story....
Thank you too BM. It's a complete mystery & my brother's been on to the police, etc. This particular nephew has been living with a woman who has two children of her own & who is a few years older than himself. He told my bro & sis-in-law that they were moving into a static caravan on a site somewhere in Essex, but couldn't give them an address as the person who owns it, isn't allowed to sub-let. Anyway, he phoned my other nephew who lives at home with my brother, just over a month ago & said "Tell Mum & Dad I'll be round for lunch tomorrow". Not only did he not turn up, his mobile has been switched off ever since that last call - even though he usually texts them & his younger sister on a daily basis. Alerts have been put out for anyone who knows him, to keep a look out.
He's never, ever, done anything like this before, so that's why we're all beside ourselves with worry....
