Oh God bless him! Every parents worse nightmare!

Not everything needs to be blamed on someone, sometimes things just happen and it's shit.

Asking questions like why did nobody help exposes a massive lack of intelligence.

If I'm at a park or elsewhere with my little boy and I see another kid run away from who they're with, I'm not leaving my child and chasing after them.

Not only are you being sanctimonious on a post about a missing child, you're also a liar.

The only difference between you and this family is sheer luck.

So why have traffic accidents and abductions gone down, not up, since they went out of fashion?

I live locally.

A lot of people on this thread should just shut the fuck up

Seriously.

Think about your behaviour, some of you.

I think they were last night? They asked the community to go home so they could use it more effectively from what I've read.

Very similar. My 3 year old son managed to get out of our garden and was "missing" for about 3 minutes. I was utterly hysterical. I found him hiding behind a neighbours bush 2 doors down. That was 47 years ago and I still feel sick when I think of it.

Everyone takes their eyes off their kids at times, even if it's just a few seconds. To say you haven't is just laughable.

Anyone can trip over, unreasonable for everyone to always take children out in pairs in case this happens.

Just a reminder, living locally doesn't mean you "own" this tragedy and have free reign to insult people online.

Do you actually know the family or belong to the family? If not, you're just grief vulturing like many people here as well.

Also happened with my son aged around 4. He decided to hide. When I couldn't find him,he must have heard the panic in my voice so was probably too scared to come out. I knocked on neighbours doors etc and after about 10 mins we found him. He was hiding behind his bedroom door all the time. He's 32 now but the panic. Never forgotten. Awful 😔

Hes three
So they probably dont really know at this stage how impacted hes going to be
My son waa diagnosed at three with autosm and some learning difficulties
Hes 16 now and severly autistic with severe learning disabillity my son id totslly non verbal but some children do gain speech.

I don't know the exact circumstances but as the mother of an ADHD bolter I would only ever visit playgrounds that were enclosed by fences and gates.

The number of times other people left the gate open as they went in or out was astonishing. One person even once held the gate open for my 3 year old to run through. I watched like a hawk and I did a lot of running. Luckily for me nothing too terrible actually happened. It only takes a second though for even the most secure plans to go wrong. Looking after a bolter is very difficult.

I think the poster was probably just making the point that, as they are living locally, they are probably seeing and understanding the matter in closer proximity so the unhelpful comments hit harder.

Mnhq should consider pulling the thread. It must be awful for you all.

It is fenced in.

You were lucky you didn’t trip as the grandad did. He wasn’t looking at his phone or chatting. Don’t be so quick to judge.

Yes of course, that goes without saying for any tragic incident. But the worst sort of people are those who gain self-importance from the sole fact that they live close to the scene of a tragedy rather than having any connection to the victims and family. If they aren't actually part of the family, they have as little connection to the case as anyone else posting on here.

I'm not wonderdul, my family is not wonderful. We have problems like everyone else. But I strongly believe in parental responsability of care and responsibiiity for young children, specially with disabled munchkins.

I belive strongly in child safety, specially disabled ones with speech and hearing options. So yes, you can mock me but hopefully you won't ever lose a disabled 3 your in your care.

I'm sorry but this missing child story doesn't make sense to me. Kids don't run off / disappear that quickly or easily. They don't tend to go far either. I hope he's found but there's definitely something 'off' about the whole thing. A retired policewoman friend agrees with me.

How can you say anything with such certainty when you weren't even there? 😲

Just stop. You don’t know what you are talking about and neither does your friend.

Oh you must be right then if your retired policewoman friend agrees!

Have you called the police and reported this vital information?

I think everyone on this thread and most people generally, including this boys family, probably strongly believe in ‘parental responsibility of care’. You don’t care about your children any more than other people care for theirs.

And the rest of us don’t believe in child safety? I have two kids but it doesn’t mean I don’t care about losing one just because I have a spare,

You don’t love your children more than we do

Many years ago I lost my then 4 year old while out shopping, they were gone for about 15 minutes, it was hell on earth. Turned out they had gone on the escalator up to the cafe in the store (where we had been before) and was happily chatting to somone when I and a staff member found them. The staff were so lovely to me, sat us down, gave us a drink each and helped me calm down. I hope and pray this little boy is found safe and well, this is beyond awful
