Water rescue underway involves child in Shelby County

Additional rescue crews from area departments have been called to join the search along the banks for a young boy who may have been swept up in the swollen Great Miami River.

According to scanner traffic, the boy, possibly 6, was last seen wearing a blue shirt and black pants.

I've found little on the news so far. We've had widespread flooding overnight and today. Praying this child is found alive!

A 6-year-old boy fell into the Great Miami River this evening while he was playing with a friend along the riverbank, Shelby County Sheriff’s Sgt. Aaron Steinke said.

Crews were called around 5:45 p.m. to the river behind the Pasco trailer park in the 5000 block of state Route 29. Rescuers have boats in the water, and have every bridge covered south from Sidney to the Miami County line, the sergeant said.

Well, there's no way I see this ending well. How awful.

There were flood warnings since last night. I can't believe he and another child were allowed to play there.

Ugh...I don't understand why they were playing there. Anyone have pictures of the area? I'm just curious what it's like.

I tried to find it on google satellite but I'm not sure exactly where it is. He lives in a trailer park in Pasco, near Sidney. Close to rt 29.

a portion of the ground under where they were playing gave way and he fell in, so it does not sound like he was at the water's edge right as a storm was coming in. Lawsuit much?

AmyPond · Feb 26, 2018

Lawsuit against who?

This happened to my sister and me when we were little (1 1/2 and 3); the bank gave out and I went in. My mother went in after me, tossed me up on the bank and this motion forced her back down. She resurfaced to find my sister shaking me and yelling that I had killed out mother.

My heart breaks for this little guys family. It really can happen even when you think you are a safe distance away. Of course the river we were on was not swollen from rain, but I think sometimes it is hard to tell?

Is correcting my grammar really necessary in a thread like this???

It was bad everywhere Pink. Deep and rushing. It took my hubby and I all afternoon to repair our driveway. Ruts 2 feet deep and 100 feet long. Imagine the force of that water at flood stage.
