According to local newspaper The Ardmoreite, the rescue was called off due to the weather conditions, and it resumed at 7 a.m. Thursday. Unfortunately the boy has not yet been located and now rescue crews fear the worst.

Details on how the pair ended up in the creek have not yet been released. The father grabbed on to a tree in an attempt to keep from being washed further down the creek, but the strong current washed the boy out of his grasp.
