Missing 3 year old (Noah Woods)

[redrabbit29]

Can't see this on here, but there is a BBC article with live updates since yesterday at 3pm when he went missing - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw8d30y30rrqt

He's partially deaf and non-verbal, so a lot more vulnerable.
Was with a relative when he ran off down an alleyway towards a housing estate
So at this present moment, he's been missing for 19 hours
The local community have turned out in their hundreds to help search

Saw this, awful.

To be honest my wife was extra upset as it's local and feels like it could of been us with a child of similar age, we were talking about it last night.

Really hope there is a happy ending to this

It is a horrible story. The family must be going through absolute hell.

Let’s hope they find him soon

I can't even read about it, I've got a 4 year old and thinking about what he/the family must be going through is heartbreaking. It's local to us, I was close to going out last night and helping (I only heard about it at about 11.30pm) but to be honest I didn't think they would want to be overloaded with volunteers, possibly doing more harm than good. I am regretting it now, but I don't think I've got the mental strength to be potentially looking for a body rather than a scared child. My friend's child was killed by a dog when he was 3 and the loss is absolutely apocalyptic, sickening, indescribable.

It's horrendous. I have everything crossed for a happy outcome, I can't bear to think of the alternative.
