Vic: Mum pleads for missing son to contact her

The distraught mother of a Melbourne schoolboy .. who's been missing for more than
a week .. has pleaded for her son to make contact.

LINDA BIRTWISTLE says she's been through pure hell since her 16-year-old son GLENN
went missing nine days ago.

GLENN was last seen leaving his home at Narre Warren .. in Melbourne's south-east ..

just after 7 am (AEST) on Wednesday .. July 26 .. to catch his regular schoolbus.

Police say it's unclear whether or not GLENN made it to the bus stop.

They say he hasn't used his mobile telephone since his disappearance .. and hasn't
been in contact with his family .. friends or employer.

Mrs BIRTWISTLE has asked for GLENN or anyone with information about him to contact
his family or police.

Police and State Emergency Service workers have conducted a large-scale land and air
search around the BIRTWHISTLE home and the bus stop today .. including an extensive door-knock.

Narre Warren police say they've received several new leads .. including the sighting
of a white car at the bus stop at the time GLENN's bus was due.
