Missing boy - can you help?

14 year old rock/metal fan Andrew Gosden has been missing from Doncaster, South Yorkshire since September 14 this year.

His current whereabouts remain unknown but it is thought he may have travelled to London.

Andrew's family are extremely worried and there is concern for his welfare due to to his age. He can call the Runaway Helpline on Freefone 0808 800 7070 for confidential advice and support.

Andrew is 5ft 4ins tall, of slim build with collar length, light brown hair and brown eyes. It is thought Andrew will be wearing black jeans, a black T-shirt and black trainers. Andrew may be carrying with him a black canvas satchel with patches of rock/metal bands on it.

If you think that you can help in any way, go to the Missing People website, where you can find information about contacting the organisation, as well as joining a Facebook group searching for Andrew.

Thats So sad =[

i hope they find him soon. its going to be hard for him because he's only 14 and he is a rock/metal fan and people usually single you out. i mean its hard for anybody who goes missing.


if you have seen anybody with his status then please don't let him just pass you by. you need to do something for him.

Poor chap

Wish I could help but I live way up in Aviemore so I'm nowhere near London.

Hope he's alright, as someone previouslly mentioned London probably isn't too safe to hang about by yourself, tis a big City and Rock/Metal fans goth etc can be singled out, like that poor girl who was beaten by chavs in the park a few week ago :[

In my opinion.......

I dont understand how the news do something about this.
They constantly talk about Madeline,
Yehh its a shame.
BUT cum'mon............
There needs to be more action taken
on missing persons!
I really do hope he returns to his family safely :)
All respects go out to his family

Dude grow up! Fair enough he brought it on himself but you can still show some compassion. Have a little decensey, wether you really care or not about his condition, and show that you're at least a little conscious of other peoples feelings instead of being such a self absorbed moron tryig to be funny over the internet.

I really hope this kid is ok, I'll definately keep my eye out in Camden and around the alternative hotspots.

On a positive note, the fact that being 'alternative' can single people out could be a blessing in this case. Metal/rock fans tend ot group together on a grander scale than chavs do. Chavs have local gangs but metal fans hang out in groups of people that live in many different places spread across entire cities. If he has met anyone I'm sure they've probably offered him a place to stay, especially the people who hang out in camden by the lock.

Dear "you're all idiots". If I find out who you are or where you live, I will by all decency make you wish you never had uttered a bad word to anyone. You'll be one of the worst emo's out there for the rest of your life. If you can live with it. Eye for an eye. You have no empathy. A brilliant case of why Darwin was wrong, but I'll make him right. I will say no more.

Well, whatever the reason was for his runaway (if it was that), I don't think anyone can really judge that.

But I'm not going to rant. I'm just going to say that my hopes are with his family and friends, that he returns back home, soon and safely.

I wish I could help, but I live in Iceland, so... yeah.

Anyways, I hope he's OK.

I hope he's okay....I just feel so bad when these kids run away and go missing and stuff. I don't just feel bad for these rock fans and stuff like this kid, I feel bad when anyone goes missing.....
And I'm not really religous, but lets pray that he gets home safely soon as possible.

Best wishes

None of my business but its something i feel strongly about

I've seen the posters up
I hope hes back really soon

In the meantime if what Bex is saying is the reason for this then anybody who bullies or decides theyre going to have a dig at somebody cos of how they dress or their sexuality or the music they like think again cos it could be one of your friends who decides they've had enough of it
And nevermind about labels cos yeah everybody does it but whatever the heck you label yourself just or grow up cos if youre a 'chav' taking the piss out of a 'grebby emo fag' or an 'emo goth' taking the piss out of a 'two faced chav slag' words hurt so next time you tell somebody to go cut their wrists and die or to go and fuck themselves just shut the fuck up and think what you would feel like if you were Andrews sister or best friend.

I dont know Andrew but,like i said, if what Bex is saying is right i hope that those bullies are fucking happy.

Good Luck and whatever Andrew is doing lets hope he at least calls to say he's safe.

missing Doncaster boy

I have a son this age and my heart truly goes out to his family.I have been checking the website regularly to see if there has been any news of him,he looks like a lovely boy and I,m sure he was just having a bit of an adventure when he set off.I live fairly near and just want the family to know that people do really care and think of what they must be going through.

I hope he will soon be found safe and sount

Ever since Andrew's disappearnance was featured on TV last September I have been thinking about this boy. He is the same age as my younger brother and they look very much alike, too. Now his face is shown on TV again as part of the Missing People campaign on BBC and I just find myself very emotionally involved in this case. I really hope that he is OK and even if he for whatever reason does not want to return home, that he would just give sign of life. I wish there was something I could do to help!

Lots of love to Andrew, his family and everyone who is looking for him.
