This is awful, I can’t believe it hasn’t been more mainstream news? I fear the worst after so long but I hope they reach him.. IOS anyone else following this?

It's an awful story, the poor child. I don't hold out much hope of them getting out alive given how far he has fallen. I am staggered at how small the hole was that he fell down.

It's so so awful.I can't imagine the anguish his parents are going through.

I can barely follow this. His older brother died aged three.

I can’t find any info as to if they’ve heard anything from him

It’s horrific. The poor family have already lost a son. I read that they were just walking along the beach and he died from a heart defect.

Hoping for a miracle for them.

This is so awful.

How do they know the child is actually in there? It seems more like it's the testimony of the parents that the boy is in there.

This is just awful.

I remember watching a film about a similar thing based on a true story years ago. Sounds like the rescue they are attempting is similar. Does anyone know what it is?

I was just about to say this - I think it had Sissy Spacek in it? And it was a tiny hole she fell down as well.

There was an American girl down a well years ago. I need to google it I can't remember much.

It was called Everybodies baby: The rescue of Jessica MCclure. I was fascinated by the rescue when I was younger.

That was the title of the movie.

That was ‘Baby Jessica’ that fell down a well previously.

Oh my god this is tragic :-(

Jessica McClure!

They got her out and she's a teacher now but I think it only was 2.5 days

How did he fall down? My heart breaks for that family

6 days seems a long time to decide to start drilling if they couldn't access any other way. It doesn't seem like there is much hope

Yes that’s the one, thanks

6 days is a long long time

This is awful but if he's not had water for 6 days then surely the poor little boy won't be alive anymore?

6 days is such a long time. With all my heart, I want it to still be a rescue mission but I think it is a recovery one.

That poor family.

Oh yes, Jessica McClure. Her mum was called Cissy, it wasn't Sissy Spacek in it.

Yes, I can't imagine he is going to be ok. How awful

It’s being reported very...oddly. I don’t want to speculate. Let’s just hope for the best possible outcome.

It was in all the main stream news a few days ago and also on Radio 1. Seems to have gone quiet. Really awful news.
