Oh God bless him! Every parents worse nightmare!

I can’t stop thinking about little Noah. I have said lots of prayers. I hope good news comes soon

Oh crap I had read a comment on a Facebook post saying he's been found so I was feeling reassured but that seems to be wron. Oh that poor boy and family 😪

Why are the trains going at reduced speed? Are the police checking around the rails?

The poster is making it up. Nowhere has it been reported that he's been found or that he's OK. I wish people wouldn't lie about things like this.

How terrifying. My heart goes out to his family.

At 3 my lad would escape & run like forest gump. Now a teen it’s hard to imagine but he was a nightmare running off all the time at speed

Yes, it is so cloae to Manningtree train station and all the train tracks leading to it.

The post doesn't say the lake has been ruled out, I read it as the amount of people searching there is preventing it being searched effectively. Search and rescue dogs and thermal cameras won't work if there are crowds of people searching. Also this is second hand information from the search and rescue team to a parent who will be out of their mind. The path he ran down leads away from the residential area directly to this woods and lake with little else around.

This has been on my mind since I saw it. My sons the same age. He is 3 with suspected autism, also non-verbal, no road sense etc. It says got separated from his relative at a park and hasn't been seen since. I can't even begin to imagine what his parents are feeling. They have a projector and are playing bluey on it so I read in the hopes he sees it. Oh makes my stomach flip. That beautiful little boy 💔💔💔

Every parents worst nightmare 😓😓
My eldest ran off in a shop when he was around 3, it was only for a minute or so (he'd ran out of the shop to be with his Dad who was in the shop next door) - it must have only been for a minute if that I couldn't find him but it was heart stopping and felt like HOURS. His parents must be going out of their minds. 💔 Praying he's found safe and well soon.

I do hope they have sniffer dogs out, it's heartbreaking.

My friend has a little boy who is a 'runner' - twice he's run off when I've been with them - one minute he's there the next minute he's gone even with the 2 of us watching him. Nothing fishy

Just commenting to bump, even if it's for my own selfish reason of wanting to feel like over done some small thing.

Truly hope he's gone on an adventure, tuckered himself out and fallen asleep somewhere cosy, ready to be found safe and sound as soon as possible. I cannot imagine what those who love him are going through

This is so heartbreaking - I really hope he's found safe. His poor family

...and hearing problems, so wouldn't necessarily hear anyone calling for him; terrible

I turned my back on my eldest in Boots when he was 3 for literally a couple of seconds. The memory panic when I couldn't find him still makes me feel sick to my stomach over 30 years later. He was in the next aisle trying out the lipstick samples. Hoping this little boy is safe and sound asap.

Wonder why nobody chased after him then?

Last thing the family needs is speculation.

I hope hes found soon.

how do you know they didn't FFS. speculation isn't helpful.

Speculation?

Are you saying you could not outrun a 3 year old?

@MrsKiplingsSauna , stop speculating. We don't know what happened and it won't change anything.

Well obviously that would depend on age, general fitness, absence of disability, obstacles etc etc

And how much of a head-start the 3 yr old had

Exactly.

The path it looks like he has run down leads to woodland and a large pond. Beyond that the railway line and then the river. I don’t understand the dad’s statement that the pond has been checked. It isn’t a small pond so I’d be surprised if it’s been checked to the degree it could be ruled out. I hope to god he isn’t in there and is found safe. His family must be frantic.

Hopefully they will have drones and dogs out tonight and will find him safe and well.
