Oh God bless him! Every parents worse nightmare!

Poor family. I hope he’s found very soon

Dear god, I pray he's found safe and well. My little one used to do this, just bolt. I remember being in the playpark and someone must not have closed the gate properly I'm assuming. I literally bent down for 10 seconds to fix my shoe, looked up and she had bolted out the gated area and was running full pelt down the park towards the main gate. I've never ran so fast in my life to catch her.

My son was non verbal at that age and ran everywhere. He didn't respond to his name and we lost him in some woods. Longest ten minutes of my life. Really hope this little lad is hiding in a safe place and will be found.

This has affected me so much I wish I could help
look for him.

Praying for his safe return.

Sending prayers

God how awful. I’ll be keeping him in my thoughts tonight and hope they find him safe and well
soon. Poor wee soul.

This is beyond upsetting. It’s dark and cold and that little lad must be very frightened. I hope he’s just hiding somewhere 😢

Can’t stop thinking of this little boy. I truly hope he is found soon. It does not bare thinking about. Every parents living nightmare.

Oh God, poor little mite - and his poor family must be beside themselves.
Pray he is found alive and well very soon.

How awful 😔 the poor family. I couldn’t imagine anything worse.

Prayers for his safe return.

My nephew is 3 and autistic, loves water and running. Terrifying to think of this little boy and where he is now. I so hope with all I've got he's asleep somewhere having worn himself out, and not found the water. I google.mapped the area when I read the news earlier and saw a pond nearby and lots of water sources, my heart sank.

Just read a daily mail comment (so take from that what you will ) that he has been found safe. I so hope so

Hoping for a safe return

It's hideously upsetting for the family, but, in a bid to say something a bit positive, the fact he was seen running away at least lends a little weight to the idea he wasn't taken, which hopefully rules out one set of dangers and outcomes, making it more likely he might be found hiding somewhere.

Oh we cross-posted. Let's hope so!

Sadly the last official update I have seen from the local parish council (who are helping co-ordinate the public search) is that they are asking people to stand down for tonight. I believe the police & other authorities will be continuing the search but they have asked volunteers to stop for now in case of other people getting hurt or lost. Plus they are using thermal image cameras & the more people out & about then the harder it is to determine if it is Noah or not.

I desperately hope he is found soon. His parents must be beside themselves.

I read he ran off down an alleyway. Near the new houses. They can run so fast. The dad said on Facebook the pond next to it has already been checked. I’m hoping he’s just lying down somewhere and found soon.

I keep checking for an update, I really hope they find him soon. Poor baby, the worst thing is the best outcome is him being alive and terrified beyond belief.

this is so awful, it’s made me feel sick I can’t even sleep thinking about that poor baby😢 god please let him be okay.

Not sure where they got that information according to media he is still missing. I’m sure if he’d been found it would have been reported. Hoping to God he’s found soon

I live 10 mins away. He has definitely not been found. People are meaning well but are really hampering the police as they have been out in force.

Im fairly local too. Feel so worried poor boy and family x

It’s possible he has hidden in a shed or even a car. Hopefully fallen asleep and will be found very soon. I can’t imagine what the family must be going through. My worst nightmare.
