Looking at the lay of the land, it doesn't look like he could have gone far. I'll betcha he's in those woods to the north of the property, Not a lot of hiding places for a little guy.
 
Crews have set up at Garners Creek Road and 3rd Street

Yes, video from alexwood's link now says the home is on Pruitt Rd. It also says dogs picked up his scent then lost it.

ETA: More from the link (sorry, I got interrupted and hit save before finishing):

Earlier Wednesday a K-9 tracked his scent to a pond before the trail vanished. The pond was drained and nothing was found.

There are several other small bodies of water near Daniels’ home. A helicopter, water crafts, divers and volunteers are all being used in the search.

Also, from video at same link ---

WKRN Reporter Andy Cordan:
"I can tell you that emergency crews were notified at 6:22 in the morning, but the Sheriff tells me that the boy's family woke up for school, they looked for their little boy, they didn't find him and instead of calling 911, instead they started searching around their house and almost an hour was lost."

Oh, I hope this sweet little boy is found soon. I'm in Eastern TN and it was colder today than it has been. Hopefully he is okay.

I know there is mention of the pond (s) being searched but what about the creek?
 
When this happens I'm always so thankful for having an autistic child obsessed with keeping doors shut, not opening them :(

I can understand why they'd search themselves first. They'd be hoping he'd be hiding around the next corner and it would all be over quickly.

Absolutely. Since it had happened before. It's easy to think the result will be the same.
Though I think I'd still call under the circumstances, since there was no way of knowing when he escaped.
I wish they had been able to prevent him escaping, so scary.

Bless those searchers. They need to find him tonight. It's cold there. Getting into the 30's. Here's the hourly forecast:

:praying:
 
Oh no no not another. Always with the ponds/water sources nearby. I hope this doesn’t end like little Raul (or so many others whose threads we have followed. My heart hurts.

I was also thinking of Raul. Didn't he also run off without shoes, or am I confusing him with another boy?
 
LE continues searching throughout the night.

Dickson County Sheriff Jeff Bledsoe asked volunteers to quit searching on Wednesday night for the missing 5-year-old boy while professionals continued the search.

Bledsoe asked volunteers to stop searching for the night because higher skill sets are needed for the night-time search.

"Time is working against us, but we are going to put our resources on everything we have, everything is going to be all in as we search tonight," said Bledsoe shortly before nightfall on Wednesday.

It's 3.40am there now and 31 degrees :(
 
I pray wherever this little guy is it's enough to keep him warm enough through the temps. It's so odd that he would get up in the night and run out. I realize he is autistic but stepping out into the cold usually makes anyone retreat back to warmth.
