    I'm very surprised that wasn't in the News.

    If a child goes missing I would expect it to be all over the media.

    Jesus, I never realised there were so many missing people in Ireland.
    God help their them and their families.

    Has it been reported at all? It's probably a domestic/parental dispute

    OP is right, strange that no newspapers have picked anything up, even a google search brings up practically nothing. Hopefully he comes home safe and sound.

    There isn't much info at all about him on Trace Missing Ireland or crime.ie.

    Why would it take a week for a missing 6 yr old to get media coverage?

    More than meets the eye if the media haven't got wind of this, missing child is media gold.

    Hope the poor child gets home safe and sound.

    Jesus, i find it hard to believe a 6 year old can be missing a full week and hardly anyone has heard of it - is there more to this than a simple missing persons case?

    He's on the Garda.ie Missing Persons website.

    Probably with one of the parents and in no danger. It's not the same as a child that goes missing and parents report it.

    It's still strange. Wouldn't they give more info like "Last seen with this woman/man" ?

    It's probably that they know who has him and they thought it could be sorted out quietly, happens a lot apparently.

    if this turns out to be true, i'd be asking serious questions of the guards on this one (i'm not a guard basher poster btw) unless there is some underlying reason they havent been shouting this from the hilltop :confused:

    It sounds as though it may be the result of a domestic dispute, and hopefully there is no serious prospect of the boy being in any danger.

    I'm sure this is no consolation to whoever is missing him, but if that were the case then at least his disappearance would be a result of too many people loving him, instead of wanting to do him any harm.

    Still, lets hope he is found safe and well soon.

    I don't know for sure but parents fight over their children all the time which can lead to the police commencing a missing person's inquiry. Sometimes it can cause more trouble if they go on the airwaves screaming about a missing child so they do it on the quiet.

    makes sense i suppose depending on the situation

    well i hope the little boy finds his way home safe and sound

    It's not strange at all, it happens all the time. This parent might have custody and the other parent reported the child missing, they are probably on holiday.

    If that were the case, why would the Gardai need to place the boy on their missing persons page ?

    What's with the amount of Japanese, Korean or whatever people on that list?

    Because someone reported him missing, most likely a parent has taken the child out of the country and it's to highlight it.
    Do you think if this child actually went missing without either parent having any knowledge of it the gardai and media would keep it quiet?
    I would say it's a custody battle.

    Not all missing persons get reported in the media, far from it. Hopefully it is just a custody thing with the parents

    Well until I know otherwise, I will keep bumping this thread and sharing facebook link.

    I do hope it's just a domestic.

    I think rte news might be highlighting it if it were an actual missing child ie not with one of the parents.
