John and Sandra Dunston, who travelled up from Cornwall for the Press conference in Brighton, said: 'The first thing to let you know is that you are not in any trouble with the police, social services or family.

'We can't stress this enough.

'Grampy and I know you love us as much as we love you and that you wouldn't hurt us in any way, but we are in the depths of despair and torment not knowing if you are safe.

'The hardest thing for us at the moment is that we have no idea what has happened to you or where you are.

'Just one phone call or postcard will let us know that you are ok '“ that's all we ask for. We are here to help and support you for as long as you need us.'
