Missing Teen Ethan Kershaw: Family Desperate for His Safe Return
Thirteen-year-old Ethan Kershaw has been missing since at least 3pm yesterday, possibly earlier. He was last spotted near Fratton and attends Priory School on Fawcett Road.
Health Concerns Raise Alarm
Ethan’s mum, Krissy Lou, revealed he recently had surgery on his nose and throat and needs major surgery in a few weeks. “He should still be on his meds for infection,” she said, “and in this cold weather, he could become seriously unwell.”
Adding to the worry, Ethan is awaiting an ADHD assessment and has a habit of free climbing at all hours—a risky activity as he “cannot risk assess.”
Worries Over Behaviour and Missing Circumstances
Krissy explained Ethan struggles with conduct disorder and other behavioural issues, which may play a part in his disappearance.
“He might steal out of hunger and sometimes talks back to the wrong people. The friends he’s been hanging around with are up all hours and have challenged behaviour, encouraging bad choices. Ethan might be trying to show off,” she said.
Despite this, she emphasised, “He’s a lovely boy who wouldn’t hurt a fly, especially when calm. He even has a snuffle blanket he’s attached to.”
What He Was Wearing and How He Looks Now
When last seen, Ethan wore all-black Nike trainers, black skinny jeans, a white shirt, Priory School blazer, and a dark blue coat with a rip on the right pocket. He has curly hair on top with short back and sides.
It’s possible Ethan has since changed clothes, maybe borrowing from his friends.
Family Pleads for Help
Ethan has a five-year-old brother who’s desperate for him to come home, while his parents remain deeply worried about his vulnerability and potential dangers he faces alone.
If you know anything about Ethan’s whereabouts, contact police on 101 immediately.
