Harvey has the rare genetic condition Prader-Willi syndrome, is partially blind and is also on the autism spectrum.
In December, Katie shared an emotional video to her Instagram page in which she pleaded for Dwight to get in touch with her.
Katie captioned the post: “Anyone who knows Dwight please get him to contact his son, Harvey doesn’t deserve this, he sees his other son Tiger so I don’t understand!”

The story post of the video featured a similar caption, with Katie writing: “Dwight please see your son, get in contact, have a heart as Harvey doesn’t deserve the fact you see your other son and not him!
“You’re always welcome and never too late. Why can’t Harvey meet his brother?”

The teen replied: “Daddy Dwight.”
Katie asked: “What do you want to say?”
Harvey tells his dad: “I love you Daddy Dwight, you look beautiful.”
