The search for the missing 2 year old boy resumed on Sunday with volunteer search teams.
Noah Chamberlin, of Pinson disappeared Thursday afternoon and has not been seen since then despite the massive search.
“We have total faith we’re going to find Noah and bring him home safe,” Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver said Saturday morning. He does not believe the boy's disappearance was caused by foul play. Noah was hiking through the woods with his grandmother and 4-year-old sister behind his grandparents house in Pinson Tennessee at the time of his disappearance. “They sat down to talk and she was paying attention to the granddaughter, and when she turned around he was gone,” Tom Mapes, a spokesman for the Madison County Sheriff’s Office told the Jackson Sun Friday.
K-9 units are assisting in the search for Noah but nothing has been recovered yet. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, has put out an endangered alert for the young boy. The Bureau said that Noah is 2-feet tall and weighs 25 lbs. He had a long-sleeve grey shirt on and blue jeans when he was last seen.
Hundreds of Pinson residents searched the woods for Noah saturday then held a candle lit vigil with a symbolic flame of hope. “Been cold, wet, muddy, lots of hills, lots of hard terrain, lot of swamps, lot of bottoms. I pray that the boy is good,” volunteer David Terry, one of the residents, told the station.
1. What would you do if your son had come up missing?
2. Would you blame the grandmother for his disappearance?
3. How do you think the family feels?
4. When would be the point that you would give up hope? Do you think they have?
5. Opinions?
My opinion- I know how this feels. My little brother wanted to go to the park and everyone in the house was taking a nap. He decided, with his 4-year-old self, that he wanted to go by himself. He walked right out the door. When we lived in Omaha we lived by a really busy street, so it was really concerning. He was almost hit by a car crossing the street. Thankfully we had lived in the neighborhood for many years so one of our neighbors had stopped him before he did get hurt or taken by someone who wouldn't have given him back. He was only gone for 5 hours so I can't imagine what the Chamberlin family is going through with their son being gone for 4 days.

Be sure to comment to more student replies. Good overall though.
I don't think it is the grandma's fault for him going missing-anything like that could have happened. I couldn't possibly imagine what she is going through, for people are probably blaming her, and she is blaming herself. Any family member would have hope that he would be found. If you check any current event sites, they released information that he had been found dead yesterday, which is very sad.
If my son were to come up missing I would assign a search party for him and not sleep until he is found or we know what had happened. I think the family feels just as any other family would feel, frightened, scared, and anxious. I don't think I would give up hope until I know what happened.
If my son had come up missing I would go out and look for him, I would also get family to help in the search. No I wouldn't blame the grandmother she's probably getting old and forgot about him. I would assume the family feels sick. I wouldn't give up hope until they found him and no I don't think they have given up hope.
I would freak out and go try to find him, yes because they shouldnt have been taking naps. the family probably feel worryed and sick to there stomach for letting him roam around. I would never give up on trying to find my son, and I don't think they have.
I would be scared and start looking for him and calling his name and doing anything possible to find him and make sure hes safe back in my arms. I mean yes but no, yes because she was the one watching him and at her house and everything and no because she had another to watch but its also she can't help if he goes running off. I also think she should have keep a eye on him still or make sure hes by her side and not wonder off. I mean after a month i just kind of give up because that's when you know he would have passed away somewhere out there and yet still be worried they haven't found him or anything. I feel like after the first 2 or 3 days people just give up on finding people.
I would be very scared and call the cops right away. I wouldn't blame the grandmother, she has to also look out for her other grandchild that was there too. You can't expect someone to watch some one 24/7 she turned her back only for a little while. The family feels really scared just like any family would if their child went missing. I wouldn't give up, but there comes a time where you need to move on and remember them.
At first I would be mad at the grandmother for not watching him close enough. I would be so worried about and scared for my son if he went missing. I bet the grandmother feels terrible for not keeping a close eye on the boy. I'm not when the right time is to just give up, it's your son, it would be hard to let that go. There have probably been times where the mom has thought the she wasn't going to get her little boy back, but I don't think she will ever give up looking for him.
I would've been very scared, and yes would blame the grandmother. I don't think she should've taken a two year old out hiking without a stroller anyways, and the grandmother must have not been paying any attention to him to lose him. I'm sure the family is angry and scared. I don't think they'll give hope and I definitely wouldn't.
If my son had gotten lost, I would be very worried and devastated because losing a child is like losing your other half. I would not blame the grandmother because its not her fault. Anything can happen but the grandmother is already going through the lost of her grandchild and she does not need people to blame it on her and cause the situation even worse. They should not be pointing fingers and saying this happened because of you. They need to stop doing that and stop wasting time. Everyone has to start and do something. I think you should never lose hope at all, especially when there is a lost child. You need to have faith and hope. I believe that this family still has their hope, They can't give up on someone that is a part of their lives.
