Unhappy OT: Please keep missing boy in your thoughts.

Three-year-old Joshua Childers wandered into the woods behind his home Monday. He lives out in the country not far from where we live. I'm sure most of you have read/heard about it from the news...they've only found one shoe, and the dogs got a hit on his scent, maybe, on a dock. It rained all night last night and I laid awake in the wee hours thinking of that tiny being out there alone.

Looking at my sweet boys, I can't imagine the terror he and his parents are both feeling.

How very sad! I pray they find him soon. I did a search on the internet for 'missing 3 year old' because I know of a case very recently where the little boy was found. It was amazing what the search came up with. There are so many missing children out there!

I have thought of Joshua since I seen it on the news. He and his family are in our thoughts. I pray they find him soon.
I can't imagine the fear he and his parents are going thru right now.

So strange-I saw your post yesterday and immediately had a feeling in my heart he was ok. Of course I said some prayers and today saw the news that he was found alive and ok-YEA! How scary for any parent.
