Karen and Mick, the parents of missing Metford man Zac Barnes have spoken to 2NURFM pleading for their son to make contact with them.
It has been 12 days since Zac was last seen with friends at Thornton on the corner of Tripp Close and Haussman Drive.
Police along with State Emergency Service volunteers and a police helicopter, searched the area on Monday where Zac was last seen with nothing of significance found.
There have been numerous possible sightings reported, but none have been him.
Karen and Mick are worried Zac thinks he is in trouble with police, or with them, and is scared to come home.
His parents say they love his son, he isn't in trouble, and they just want to hear his voice to let them know he is safe.
"Zac please call home. No matter what you've done, we're here to help and we love him and if somebody sees him get something concrete. Take a photo of the tattoo, take a photo of him, ring crime stoppers, don't draw attention to it - just stay cool and just let us know so we can find him," Karen said.
Karen says Zac has a a tattoo of a VB logo on his right calf which is a key indicator it is him. Zac was also last seen wearing a faded blue singlet, dark blue board shorts and work boots.
Anyone with information are urged to call Maitland Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
