Praying that this little guy is found safe and sound.
Agree. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps he messed up his wording, maybe he meant to say they went over what happened that night, when they continued to search for him, as well as during the day, when he went missing. You would think that a reporter would clarify this, so that it didn't cast the father in a bad light. We have several different accounts now as to who last saw Maddox- again, is this just bad reporting, or does the story keep changing?....perhaps it would be prudent to review the surveillance camera footage for the night(s) prior to this event to see if they were in the park after dark.
My mind is going back and forth on this- if he genuinely lost sight of him, he might have been frantically looking for him and was afraid to stop looking, but I agree, that call should have come from him, as he knew the details about his son better than the park ranger.Me, too
He has the information needed, so they (991 OP) know what authorities should be dispatched.
The OP is going to be asking questions to get answers, the Dad has to relay to who is calling, and they then have to pass it on to the OP, thus delaying the response.
Why would you delay giving out important and possibly life saving information?
LMAO, I know this is NOT funny, but now we have "the parents are out here looking?" . What in God's name is this all about? From the 911 call?!?!?!?!Hilary PowellVerified account @mshilary
'#BREAKING: "We got a missing kid." In a newly-released 911 call in the Maddox Ritch investigation, police say a part-time employee with Gastonia’s Parks and Recreation Department made the call. He can be heard saying, "the parents are out here looking." #FindMaddox'

Hey Everyone,
Please remember the parents of Max are not suspects.
Also, keep in mind how powerful your words are to other people.
A simple remark about someone's behavior or looks can be devastating to that person.
It is good to assume, especially in cases like Max's, that his family and the police are reading here.
Whenever I post something that might be considered a bit accusatory I re-read my post and ask myself "Could I defend this post in a court of law?" Some of you may find this silly but it really helps me rein it back in case I have gone overboard with my comments.
Thank you for being a part of Websleuths.
Let's pray Max is found very soon.

Edited to add- did the park ranger assume that the friend, who migh
I don't understand what's up with that?
I'm wondering the same. So many different reasons why they are protecting this person's identity, yet to me, they are part of the reason why Maddox is missing- maybe not the direct reason, but they were there when he allegedly ran off and couldn't be caught.Who was this “other adult” with the father walking around the lake?
Don’t most people have a cell phone in their pockets now? Between Dad and the other adult I would say odds are at least one had a cell phone. Call 911 on the cell while you keep looking.
