"Come home baby please Aunty Reesey misses you we all miss you," his aunt Cherese Scott wrote on Facebook.Family, station employees and workers from neighbouring stations began looking for the little boy on Tuesday and called police around nightfall when they couldn't find him. They continued searching through Tuesday night and were joined on Wednesday by State Emergency Services personnel, rangers and workers from a construction site in Kowanyama.
