Breaking: Search for missing baby boy continues off SA coast

Police have confirmed a child they are looking for in a major search operation off South Australia's coast is "about" two months old.The bodies of the boy's mother and sibling were found floating in the ocean yesterday, after authorities were called to Cape Northumberland, about 400 kilometres south-east of Adelaide.Authorities have also confirmed the child who died was under three years old.Police believe the two-month-old is missing in the water.Tall waves and low visibility in the water could hamper search efforts but Police Commissioner Grant Stevens said emergency services would continue to scour the region."Despite the weather today which is not good, searching is continuing for the infant," he said."There are no indications, at this point, of any specific location to search. The CFS, SES and police and volunteers are doing an exceptional job to try and locate this small child."As you can imagine, searching for a small child and recovering a woman and a child from the water will take its toll on people who are involved in that search exercise. "They are genuinely committed to finding this young child as quickly as possible."
