Missing boy, 7, found curled up asleep under oak tree He spent the night asleep by a tree, quite close to where we were searching and a camper found him asleep by a tree. Everyone here was really great - I can't thank our guests enough. I'm so glad it ended in the best possible way. The little boy was reported missing around 7pm on Thursday evening by his frantic parents. Farmer Richard Kelly, who owns the site which borders the thousand-acre Woodchester Park forest, said: "It was a nightmare none of us want to go through again. Everybody was brilliant, and it's such a relief he was found safe and well. He was found right on the edge of our camp site - just metres from the tents. He heard the helicopter but he didn't hear us calling. The lad did the right thing though - when you're lost in the dark, just stay put and wait for light. Luckily it was a mild night and he was wearing a coat. The boy and his parents were too exhausted to talk about their ordeal today.
