Sad news if it is correct... :(

Whether it is a hoax or not... a 6 year child is still missing :-o :-o and unaccounted for. Let's hope it is a prank and he turns up safe and sound.

Latest news.. Boy found safe at home :D

I watched Dan4th's live link last night and I must say, I concur with the reporters view of the emergency services ....

How far did it travel for 2 hours ... and there was still someone right there who nearly caught the damn thing when it came down - good organisation :ymapplause:

Now feel sorry for the poor buggers - time and money.

About all I can say to that is the whole thing
probably cost less than some training exercise
while at the same time being much more valuable
to the responders. They can be proud of their
work yesterday......It was "Real World".

Good training agreed, just as long as no-one else was in need of the emergency services whilst this strange episode played out!

If that is the case, I wonder who will get the bigger SPANKING, the kid or the dad? :-o
