CAMPBELLFORD – Northumberland OPP are looking for a missing 13-year-old boy after he fell out of a boat on the Trent River, south of Campbellford, on Saturday night.

 

The boy was a passenger when he fell out of the boat in rough water conditions, police say. He was not wearing a life jacket.

 

Police are currently searching for the boy on the river about 1.5 kilometres south of Campbellford.

 

 

Police divers are on scene.

I hate to be the driver of that boat - rough waters and no life jacket on a 13 year old doesn't add up to be something positive. Will people ever learn that if they aren't being worn, they won't ever save a life?

 

Shameful and completely preventable. I hope for the best, but expect the worst.

So very sad, how do you live with something like that? There is more going on here than what we have been told. Someone falls out of a boat even in rough water and you can't find them?

so sad, poor family of that boy.

 

cliff (hope this is not whats happened) if the rivers vegged up enough he could easily be tangled in the weeds. best friends cousin went that way.

Another sad ending. When will they learn, usually when it's too late and then it will be a reminder forever for those involved.
