VIDEO: Mother of missing Saanich man begs public to help find her son

The mother of a missing Saanich man is calling for the public’s help locating Sean Hart, 34, who was last seen leaving the Seven Oaks Tertiary Mental Health facility on Nov. 6
Nearly three weeks after the 34-year-old’s unexpected disappearance, Penny Hart travelled to Saanich from Calgary in an effort to draw attention to her son’s disappearance. On the morning of Nov. 26, Penny made a public statement during a joint press conference with the Saanich Police Department.

“I’m so concerned. It’s so cold,” Penny said, explaining that her son has schizophrenia and has a tendency to walk long distances barefoot. Hart has gone missing from Seven Oaks several times before, but never for longer than six days. He’s now been missing for 20 days and Penny said she is extremely worried.
“He, at this stage, would be very manic. He’d be hallucinating, hearing voices and acting very erratic,” Penny said. The fact that no one has seen him yet, suggests to her that he isn’t in a public place. In the past, Penny said he has gravitated towards the woods and this is where she suspects he is now.
“He doesn’t gravitate toward people. He tends to isolate,” she said. “So he won’t be in a shelter or a tent city or any of those places. That’s what’s really concerning.”
As of 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning, approximately 45 Peninsula Emergency Measures Organization (PEMO) search and rescue volunteers have been scouring Mount Douglas Park–near where Seven Oaks is located– in search of any evidence of Hart’s whereabouts. There is no sign of him so far.
Penny has been in Victoria since Nov. 18, plastering missing posters all over the city and asking residents if they have seen her son.
Hart, a Caucasian man who stands 5’7” and about 130 pounds, has blue eyes and long, curly, brown hair. He was last seen dressed in black clothing and wearing a white mask.
Penny said she had spoken to her son just two days before he went missing and that he had been doing better than ever before.
“Sean was doing so well. I had gotten my son back,” she said. She explained that Hart first got sick when he was 15 after taking copious amounts of LSD. In the last year, she said that he had been stable and Seven Oaks had been allowing him more freedoms. Penny believes that this, combined with a relationship that went bad, were too much and triggered him to leave on Nov. 6.
Because Hart has schizophrenia and has been off his medication for 20 days now, he requires immediate medical attention. Police ask anyone who spots him should call 911 and not approach him. A Mental Health Act warrant has been issued for his arrest.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Saanich police non-emergency line at 250-475-4321.

=============================================================I If the missing schizophrenic is behaving erratically and hallucinating it might be wise to get into the woods and isolate lest he get arrested or have negative interactions with the public. Also he might be aware his actions and appearance is frightening ppl and that is not what he wants. Not every drug casualty wants to roam Yaletown or the Seawall or Downtown Victoria and annoy ppl.
I heard a story as a teenager about a guy in Richmond who did 50 hits of acid and had a shotgun and was in a vehicle in the RCMP parking lot for hours until the Mounties noticed him. He was sent to Riverview where at the time I heard the story he had been for a few years.
I never got drunk or did illegal drugs until I was 17 in Grade 11 except for smoking a joint on two occassions.
