纽约罗切斯特圣约翰·费希尔大学一名高年级学生的父母称，他们的儿子自上个月在法国留学期间失踪。
小肯·德兰的家人发起了一项网站把他们失踪儿子的信息公之于众。
他的家人表示，他们最后一次听到儿子的消息是在11月27日，当时他离开了主人的家，正前往法国瓦朗斯的火车上。据他父亲说，他儿子的手机最后一次响是在11月30日。
小德兰的父亲肯尼斯·德兰说，他在国外时与家人“保持着联系”，他的父亲也在周一早上播出的采访中接受了“早安美国”的采访。
《早安美国》在美国广播公司东部时间早上7点播出。
“他几乎每天都联系我，有时是每隔一天，”老德兰说。
他的家人在网站上说，这位22岁的男子最后一次出现是在12月3日，当时他穿着红色夹克、围巾、灰色无沿帽、蓝色裤子、黑色背包和运动鞋，旁边还有一张监控摄像头拍摄的他走进一家体育用品商店的照片。

据法国当局称，小德兰已被正式宣布失踪，
DeLand Jr .通过美国外国研究学院(AIFS)的留学项目在格勒诺布尔阿尔卑斯大学学习。
“AIFS和其他人一样担心他的安全，我们正在和当地执法部门合作，他们已经开始搜寻。我们已经与肯尼斯的家人和大学取得了联系，我们希望他能迅速安全地回来，”AIFS告诉ABC新闻。
据老德兰说，该项目的一名联络员曾联系过他的家人，说他没有去上课，这很不寻常。
“肯尼是个友好、外向的大学生，是个年轻人，”老德兰说。“他喜欢旅行。所以，这次旅行是他真正期待和享受的事情。”
American college student goes missing while studying abroad in France
The parents of a senior at St. John Fisher University in Rochester, New York, said their son has been missing since last month while studying abroad in France.
Ken DeLand Jr.'s family launched awebsiteto get information about their missing son out to the public.
His family said they last heard from their son on Nov. 27 on the popular WhatsApp messaging app after he left the home of his host and was headed on a train to Valence, France. According to his dad, the last time his son's phone pinged was on Nov. 30.
DeLand Jr. was in "constant communication" with his family while abroad, said his father Kenneth DeLand, who also spoke to "Good Morning America" in an interview airing Monday morning.
"Good Morning America" airs at 7 a.m. ET on ABC.
"He would reach out to me almost daily, sometimes every other day," DeLand Sr. said.
The 22-year-old was last seen wearing a red jacket, scarf, grey beanie, blue pants, black backpack and sneakers, his family said on the website, alongside a picture from a surveillance camera of him walking inside a sporting goods store on Dec. 3.
According to French authorities, DeLand Jr. has officially been reported missing,
DeLand Jr. was learning abroad at the University of Grenoble Alpes through the study abroad program, American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS).
"AIFS joins others concerned for his safety and we are working with local law enforcement who have begun a search. We have been in contact with Kenneth's family and university and we are hoping for his swift and safe return," AIFS told ABC News.
According to DeLand Sr., a liaison from the program had reached out to the family saying he didn't attend class, which was unusual.
"Kenny's a friendly, outgoing college student, a young man," the elder DeLand said. "He loves to travel. So, this trip has been something that he's really looked forward to and enjoyed."
