THE worried family of Scott Diver made an emotional plea for the teenager to come home safe.

Scott's dad, also Scott, and his aunt Sharyn McHugh made a renewed appeal for information on the 16-year-old, who went missing from his Second Avenue home on Saturday, September 17, and revealed the youngster has been without the daily medication he relies on since his disappearance.

When last seen, he was wearing a navy blue Adidas tracksuit with light blue stripes down the arms and legs, a white T-shirt and navy Adidas trainers with grey stripes.

Scott, who doesn't speak with a local accent, is described as being white, 5ft 7ins, with a slim build, blue eyes and dark hair.

During the appeal, Scott Snr spoke directly to his son urging him to come safely and promising he wasn't "in any trouble".

He said: "Scotty, if you see this please get in touch. You are not in any trouble we just want you home or at least let us know you're safe.

"All the family are missing you especially me and Nana and your family in Isle of Man.

"Can I ask anyone who might be helping Scott stay away from home to remember he relies on daily medication which he hasn't had for at least ten days.

"Scotty, we love and miss you and want you home.

"You can contact us on the Missing Person's text service on 116 000 through phone or text even if you have no credit."

Sharon added as her voice broke with emotion: "Just please come home Scott."

Scott, who is described as a keen chess player, has been in Clydebank since 2013.

Since the teen's disappearance, police have conducted an exhaustive search throughout the Clydebank and the surrounding areas, including speaking to around 1000 members of the public.

A stop and speak operation was carried out last week, marking one week since Scott vanished, near the teenager's home, around Clydebank Shopping Centre and at the bus station on Chalmers Street.

Inspector John Mullen, who is leading the search for Scott, said detectives are following a number of lines of enquiry from the operation and emphasised that the people of Clydebank are of paramount importance in the effort to bring Scott home.

Inspector Mullen said: "This is a renewed appeal for public's assistance in the search for Scott.

"Scott's a vulnerable young boy. His family are devastated by his disappearance and are desperate to be reunited with him.

"The people of Clydebank are very important. Scott is a local youth and might be known to a lot of local people in the area.

"We're asking everyone to look out for him and report any sightings to 101 or to our dedicated email scottdiverinquiry@scotland.pnn.police.uk"

Police confirmed there is no evidence to suggest the youngster has made his way to family in the Isle of Man, nor that he is being helped to stay safe, however, all possibilities are being investigated.
