I transcribed what Kyron's stepfather and father said, directly from this video:

Stepfather's statement:
Hello, my name is Tony Young, and I am Kyron's step-father. The family has asked me to speak on their behalf today.
I would just like to say, Kyron, we miss you, we love you, and we need you home right now.
We are doing everything we can to work with law enforcement and the search and the rescue crews to make sure that you can get back to us as soon as possible.
We want to say how much we appreciate the outpouring of love and support, prayer and thoughts, as we wait for you. Your school friends and their families, the teachers, the staff at your school, and the community as a whole have shown how much impact one little boy's smile can have on a community.
You mean everything to us, and until you come home, this family is not complete.
Please, Kyron, keep up the hope. We believe in you and we know you will be back with us soon.
Father's statement:
Hi. I'm Kaine. I'm Kyron's father.
We want to thank the community, the parents, the children, the bus drivers, and all of those who are being interviewed multiple times to help find Kyron. Thank you. We as the family know how difficult and stressful this is, but memories and statements can help find Kyron. We will never be able to thank you enough for that help.
Finally, we would like to thank the media. If it was not for you showing Kyron on every newscast, printing his story in the papers, his face would not be known to everyone. People from around the nation have seen his picture. This helps tremendously. Please help us bring Kyron home.
