A three-hour search for the youngsters, aged six and eight, who were reported missing after they were last seen on the seafront at Ryde on the Isle of Wight this lunchtime, was later stood down.
The Marine and Coastguard Agency said on Twitter at 4.25pm: ‘We've searched the sea and shore and we now don't think there are two kids in danger.’
Coastguard rescue team, helicopter and lifeboat were all involved in the search. Hampshire Constabulary said it was triggered when the force was alerted at 1.21pm by Solent Coastguard.
The boys were apparently last seen near Appley Tower. The six-year-old boy was said to have dark brown hair, pale skin, dark brown eyes and the eight-year-old had a mole on his left shoulder.
'When we were told about the missing children it was awful. You always assume the worst and being a mother, I felt sick'

This research is important to our group because the theme is linked to our story. it is also important because it gives our story a sense of direction and how to conduct our story into a real life situation. i have researched this specific topic about a "missing boy" because it is related to our main theme about lost siblings.
