We'd be much obliged if all readers could have a look at the "Missing Luke Talion" Facebook page, and spread the word about it. The page was set up by our niece Katherine in the hope that somebody out there can help us to find out if Luke is OK.
I think that most of the info we have is on that Facebook page, but for the sake of clarity I'd like to add that my other half, Chris, is Luke's mother, I'm his step-father and Mike is his natural father.
If you have any info that can help, please post it via Facebook if you can. If you don't want to communicate via Facebook, you can email us via this blog's Contact Page.
Thanks for your attention.

We've already been down that route, Martin. I think that we've used all of the "finding" services out there, including the Police (who weren't that helpful, TBH).
Somebody out there must know something about his well-being.
Thanks for your thoughts, though. I was beginning to think that nobody had read this post.
If I have any ideas I will email you. Phone all the YMCA Hostels in Birmingham and see if they have come across him.
Cheers for that, Martin. All such suggestions are welcome.
Presumably you have checked credit card usage, ATM usage, mobile phone usage and so on, to see if you build up a picture of where he has been recently? What about his emails before he went missing? Anything there suggest problems? If you can email me all in the information on the Facebook page, I'll have a look at it, if you'd like?
Sorry, I do not have a Facebook account so cannot check the page at all - apologies if this is all in there.
