eat or drink? i hate myself for this. this couple can t bear to show us their son s picture or even utter his name. they and the other parents watching the live video feed of the rescue and video reports say what they need most is answers. why did the ferry capsize. why were their children told to stay put instead of escaping. are you feeling there s still hope for your child? my little baby is in the sea, in the dark. i worry he is shivering with fear and hunger. we need to rescue him fast. i don t know what to do. i just want him back. a nation s prayers from many faiths fill this port, waiting to be answered.
