Found Deceased TN - Noah Chamberlin, 2, Pinson, 14 Jan 2016 - #3

[CNYRN98]

The difference now is SM criticizing every move that's made. And starting rumors. The Sheriff isn't the first -- nor will he be the last -- to be frustrated by Facebook. But that's how things are.

Heartbroken to hear the outcome-the family's pain must be unimaginable, RIP little guy, you have touched us all.
I thought all LE and searchers were exceptional. It is disheartening to think how much time and resources were probably wasted on following up on SM rumors.
I wish the sheriff and other spokes persons would have just stated 'All social media rumors have been investigated and found to be without merit-no further comments will be made-end of.' Further details seemed to just feed the SM beast.

I've always found this a comforting and yet so sad song.... RIP sweet little baby.

I think it's very easy to be feeling that more could have been done, but I'm sure the hundreds of searchers (including many professionals) did the very best they could. The whole town must be heartbroken today.

Going back to the comment about the circle with the 10 mile circumference needing 3000 searchers at 15 feet. I would have driven from Canada to Tennessee to be part of that 3000 person group if it meant finding him that first afternoon.

The TN community's tremendous response in the missing Noah Chamberlin search was reminiscent of the 04/13/2011 missing Holly Bobo search. Multiple Law Enforcement agencies and hundreds of Volunteer searchers dropped what they were doing and came from near and far to help bring them both home safely. Both were very high profile mainstream and social media missing persons cases with different circumstances, yet both ended with tragic results and heartbroken communities.

I just want to be very clear about my comments regarding the search and where he was found - I am not in any way criticizing the search effort. I am only trying to understand it and see if anything can be learned from it. Every single person involved in the search should be thanked and commended, it was truly inspiring. I know they all did the very best they could.

If anything can be learned from this to help find the next child then all the better right? It may seem too soon to some to be thinking this way, I apologize if it comes across like that.

one of the family members said when they found out about noah well jesus better put on some rollerskates because this is a rambunctious feisty young man

so spirited, his family lovingly called him "spider monkey". though so many hoped to bring home noah alive, closure brings some relief

I cried my eyes out yesterday when I heard the news.

I did learn something from this case that I will take with me, I have a child the same age as Noah. A few months ago I posted in the Deorr group that no way would 2.5 year old leave and wander off like that. This case has shown me all children are different and to expect the unexpected. I still do not think my daughter would wander away at this age but that's just her.

So very sad for this Noah's family, RIP sweet Angel Noah

My faith allows me to believe that Jesus will be able to keep up with Little Noah, up there in Heaven. I don't know if we will ever have all the answers. Then I think about the people that have to find a way to go on living in the wake of this utter tragedy, who must piece together their lives in the digital age, and find some semblance of normalcy for the child left behind to grow up without her brother. It is then that my heart grows heavier with the realization that there are some things out of reach.

To the family of Noah Israel Chamberlin, I offer my deepest sympathy and condolences. Words will never truly express the pain I felt the moment I heard the news. It has not left me, and has only grown. Your precious boy has touched my heart and soul, and I know I am not alone in that regard.

May the grace and strength you need find its way to you all.

To all who participated in what was described upthread as a "mammoth search" my thanks are woefully and inadequately expressed here. Every single one of you are amazing human beings who were warriors for Noah.

To my fellow WSers, who kept watch over three threads, shared our angst, as we collectively held each other together until the last moment, I send you all my love. This case has transcended in a way I can't describe.

I will remember you always, Little One!

Rest in Peace Noah. Prayers and hugs to the family, the community and the searchers. :heartbeat::rose:

Boys are very different than girls. My girl would never have run away. I have a boy a little older than Noah and know that he absolutely would have done the same thing. He thinks it is a game where he just starts running and you can barely keep up to him.

I am feeling so sad like I want to help the family somehow. I saw the official page posted but can't find it now. Was this it?

 

[Kairi'sMom]

If Noah's family ever finds WS and this thread, I just want them to know how very sorry I am that they've lost their sweet Noah. They are all in my prayers.

Bye, sweet little Noah Israel... rest in peace, baby boy. :rose:

Here is a kitty for you from my little boy, he chose it for you: :cat:

kimi, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for all the posts, transcriptions, honesty, encouragements and much more you have offered over the past week. For those of us who lurk more than post, your efforts are extraordinary and your heart for the lost and hurting is amazing. Yes, our faith tells us that little Noah is with Jesus and may the Peace that passes all understanding sustain his sweet family during the dark days to come.

I followed this the entire time, hoping and praying for a good outcome. It was amazing how the town turned out in full force to constantly search, day and night, and to support those searching. What a good town to live in when a tragedy strikes. I have a three year old niece in heaven and I do pray she and Noah have met and are playing. She was more of a tomboy so she can keep up.

Yes, some kids are definitely just runners and are more adventurous than others. My family lived in the Black Forest region of Germany when I was little, and my mom actually bought a little harness and leash for me because I was so bad about running off. She was terrified I was going to disappear in an unfamiliar place in a country whose language she wasn't yet fluent in. One of my boys was also a runner/darter, but he had older brothers who could help me keep track of him. Still, he, too, had a little harness and leash that we would use if we were going to be in a heavily crowded area.

All kids are so different. Even when you *know* a kid is a darter, you still get lulled into the idea that "it won't happen to us." Tragically for little Noah and his family, it did.

That's beautiful Foxfire. And in all my sadness and heartbreak that helped me. Thank you for sharing.

I was also one of those who thought the harness/leash for a child was horrible. And then my little Houdini came along! Walked at 10 months, afraid of nothing, climbed everything including the drapery. By the time I hooked him into his car seat and walked around to open the drivers door, there he stood waving at me, in the front seat behind the steering wheel.

Needless to say, I had to buy a harness to be able to take him out and double hook him into his car seat or stroller. He could still get out of the stroller, but he couldn't go any where due to the way all the hooks were buckled! It was a living nightmare as to what he could get into in so little time. I was so glad when he understood the word "no" and there were consequences for not listening.

I am sick with sorrow for Noah's family. I can not even imagine their pain, especially for Noah's grandmother. I can only pray that God will give them a peace that passes all understanding during this deep dark pit that they are surely living in at this time.

I had a very adventurous little blond haired boy who loved the woods. He loved to run and hide as young as 10 months old. He had no fear. I also have an 80 acre plot of wooded land behind my home. I have been wondering what I would do if I were in Noah's grandmother's shoes. I don't know if I would even have the strength to go on living in this house! But, how could I ever leave?

Ugh. My condolences to the family.

Just reading about this story for the first time. Such a tragic ending for him.

I can remember when I first saw leashes on a child at the mall. I have to admit I frowned at the time. It was years ago and I was ignorant of what is involved with caring for a child. Since that time I have come to realize that they can be very helpful for parents and especially for young kids that are "runners" or "bolters".

I no longer frown at them at all and in fact I admire parents that need to use them and are taking steps to help keep their kids safe.

This case was a pure tragedy all the way around. I cannot even begin to think how the family members are going to try to cope with their loss. They will need many prayers and support for years to come.

For adult venturing in woods I had purchased a hand held GPS from Ebay and it is a wonderful tool. I always take it with me when planning to be in woods. It took me awhile to learn to use it properly but I love the device for myself.

I hadn't read back yet on these threads as I am sure others have already mentioned the new devices they are now making for children too. The new technology these days is amazing.
