The biological parents of a missing boy begged Colorado Springs-area community members to contact law enforcement with any credible leads in a video posted Wednesday morning on the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office’s YouTube page.

“If you’re afraid” to call in a tip to law enforcement, “imagine how afraid he is. Imagine how afraid Gannon is,” Landen Hiott, Gannon’s mother, says in the video.

“My son deserves to be here.”

The video features Al Stauch, Gannon’s father, and his sister Laina. The boy’s stepmother is not present in the video.

Hiott describes her son as a boy who “loves blue, he loves Sonic. He’s into coding; he loves riding his bicycle with his sister. And I know that he’s missing that right now. He holds his job as being ‘Big Bubba’ very important, and for him not to be able to talk to his sisters has to be hurting him.”

“He’s such a happy child, and he just brings life to every party,” he said.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
