A large team of Moroccan workers was in the “final stages” of a precarious mission to rescue a 5-year-old boy named Rayan from a 105-foot deep well that he had been trapped in since Tuesday.
Workers were bulldozing cautiously to avoid soil erosion, landslides and falling rocks as they tried to reach the boy. The teams could not descend directly into the well because it was too narrow, the report said.

Just heard that this sweet lil boy has passed away, RIP sweet Rayan
Seven kids. And I just got back from my oldest son’s funeral. How many people’s kids have died while they cover this one story internationally? What makes it special?

It’s a horrible thing that you lost your son - but that doesn’t make your callous comment acceptable.
Prayers for that little boy and your son.
Sure, those that were following the story. This kind of story is going to pet peeve of mine for 50 years.

It sells papers. I’m not following it so I have no opinion about it other than as it would be the case with anything like this I hope the person survives, but my perspective is more about them sensationalizing and making money off of it.
The little guy was dead when they finally got to him.
Amen
Amen
Oh, so sad, RIP little one.
Praise and glory to God!
How tragic.
I know I sounded callous on my last post. What I should make clear is it’s not that I don’t care about him. Rather it’s I don’t care anymore about him than I do all the kids that are on cancer boards, and trauma awards, or for that matter, even the children that are starving. They all have equal value to me.
