That poor little boy. It must have been so distressing for the boy's parents to know exactly where he was and what had happened but be unable to reach their son. I can't imagine - it's like the ever-relevant phrase, "so close, yet so far." His poor dad, can't imagine turning my back for a second and losing my child forever.

This little boy died in a well while he was helping his father harvest vegetables.  It was large enough for him to fall only one foot but too small for all the adults.  They tried to get him out for five days.  His father had to entail that severe pain knowing it was just time.   Over 500 volunteers tried to dig him out to get to the well.  Just devastating.

After reading the article, you just can't help but feel really sad for the boy and his family. It's so sad because he was just doing his family a favor by harvesting crops when he fell. It's so unfortunate as well because he was so young and he had his whole life ahead of him. Hopefully his parents are able to move on with life peacefully.
