They are still searching for him this morning, not much hope though, apparently 3 hours in the water is the maximum you can take in the conditions yesterday

My son who is 12 was in the fair at the time with his friends which we could see from the pier and wasn`t answering his phone

Luckily managed to get hold of him 15 mins later. This child is in my sons school

Please give your kids a hug and a kiss today. For a fleeting second I thought it could have been my son.

They still can`t find the poor boy. I heard that he could have been pushed off the pier by another kid but not sure if that is true.

My prayers are with this poor childs family

Where do you live Mel? I'm in Port Talbot!
Horrible news, I hope they find him soon.

It makes me feel sick to just think about it.
The sea terrifies me. I am a strong swimmer but would never go out of my depth and I wouldn't let my kids either.
I really feel for the family. They must be heartbroken.
