This is kind of a strange story. A family goes camping. Mom doesn't wish to spend the night, so she goes home. The family doesn't return when expected, so mom goes back to the campsite, which is within walking distance of home, and finds the 3- and 5- year old children alone at the campsite. Dad and the 12-year-old son are missing. No sign of them.
They're not reporting much else. At 3- and 5-years-old, my kids would have been capable of reporting some information. "Dad and bro went swimming and didn't come back." or "A bear came and ate them while we hid." I don't mean to be flip, but you know what I mean. Doesn't it seem like they should be able to share something? Anything??
Here's the story from Toledo:

POINT PLACE (WTOL) - Rescue crews resumed their search at daybreak for a missing father and his son.
The pair disappeared while on a camping trip in Cullen Park on Summit St. in Point Place.
According to Police Chief Mike Navarre, Toledo police and fire along with the coast guard are looking for a missing 12-year-old boy and his 33-year-old father. The missing family members are Shondale Galloway and his son, Shondale Galloway, II.
In a press conference Monday, Police Chief Navarre said a family of a mother, father and three children went to Cullen Park on Sunday. The mother did not stay the night. When the family did not return by Monday evening, she returned to the campsite and found the 3 and 5 year olds alone in the tent.
There has been no sign of the father and 12 year-old boy. Police on foot searched land for over five hours and came up with nothing. Late Monday night fire boats went out to search the water and a coast guard helicopter was brought in to search from the air.
Navarre says they are hoping for the best, but fear the worst
Crews searched until around 1:30 a.m. early Tuesday morning. The huge search effort resumed at daybreak. Fire Chief Mike Wolever said in a press conference that the search will include helicopters, a search on foot to comb the inlet, and divers.
The family is from north Toledo. They live near Manhattan and N. Erie Streets. Chief Navarre says they walked to the park.
