I think if I had little kids today that age, I’d put something on them so they could be located quickly if something like that happened.
I remembered when my kids were that age, you had to keep an eye on them at all times, because it’s true, you look away for a few seconds and they can be gone.

Damn. Just Damn.
How sure are they that he got to that area on his own?
As the father of a three year old boy, this breaks my heart.
I don’t care what anyone says, this whole situation just doesn’t smell right. It didn’t from the beginning or now at the end.

Fits with what we were talking about
They can get away from you quicker than you think
May God give these peace as only He can.
One thing about this article from Yahoo that sticks out: Deborah Hastings stripped all the elements of faith from it.
If anyone feels like reading a much better article, try http://www.jacksonsun.com/story/news/local/2016/01/21/body-noah-chamberlin-found/79134468/ by Tyler Whetstone. Tyler was there and on the scene from the beginning.
Not faulting you at all Harmless TB, just noticing what the difference is between a writer who was there and reported on the WHOLE story versus what the MSM gives us.
Tragic! One of our little boys was like this, always running off. If I had ever taken my eyes off of him, he would have been gone. Never felt danger and at 18 years old he died in a car wreck. I told him when he was 16 and got his first speeding ticket that he was going to die young. He laughed at me and in 2 years he was gone.
My other son was always holding my hand and he has grown up to be a fine man and a good husband and father.
So sad. Just takes the wind out of you to hear of such loss.
Sad story. I was hoping it would end differently.
Wonder if FLIR was used that first night? From helicopter
He liked to run and to hide, as children will do. They are
just too little to realize any danger. Our son used to take
off running when he was little, and at one time, we lived
right on a busy street. Didn’t take us long to get moved
back off the highway; but still, the weather here has been
brutal the past few days. Jan. & Feb. are usually always
really cold & harsh here. Nov. & Dec. are generally mild,
but we do have winter. - A small child is just enjoying
life, and an adult running after them and calling them only
adds to their idea that it’s all just fun. - These old bones
have to absorb a lot of grief in this present life. I’m
thankful for every halfway decent day and I don’t blame the
Lord for every bad thing that happens. - I’m sure the
authorities are second-guessing everything AND perhaps
this situation will affect any future similar efforts at
least in this area as well as that part of the state.
At Christmas, we rented a cabin in NC. My SIL went outside with my 3 year old grandson. In less than 2 minutes he was GONE. we fanned out in every direction screaming his name, scrambling over fallen tree, rocks, hills. It was pandemonium. We found him in about 10-15 minutes. There are no words to describe the panic and grief. He had climbed up in the truck and was eating tootsie rolls. The grief this family is going through is indescribable.
Oh, that’s too bad. I was hoping they’d found him alive and I’d just missed the news.
How did search dogs not pick up his scent?
Crap
Prayers for his family.
That poor Grandma. My wife is a grandma and she’d never be the same if this happened to her.
The parents killed this boy by failing to spank that behavior out of him. Laze fare parenting has consequences. Parents must have a zero tolerance (one warning) stance on behavior that can be life threatening.
