Search under way for boy, 3, missing at playground

Police say hundreds of volunteers and emergency crews are searching for the non-verbal toddler, who has partial hearing loss and may not respond when called.

  • On Tuesday, September 15, three-year-old Noah Woods went missing from a playground in Merriam Close, Brantham, after becoming separated from a relative at approximately 3pm.
  • Noah is non-verbal, partially deaf, and currently undergoing an autism assessment; due to these vulnerabilities, he will not respond to his name if called.
  • Suffolk Police, HM Coastguard, and Suffolk Lowland Search and Rescue deployed aerial and ground teams; authorities urged residents to check gardens, sheds, and outbuildings for the missing toddler.
  • Noah's father, Rhys Woods, thanked the community for their support and pleaded for the search to continue: "I cannot go another night knowing he's out there alone."
  • Authorities are treating this as a missing person investigation with "nothing to indicate anything sinister," while urging the public to report any sightings to police via 999.
