Authorities said the woman was able to get her 7-year-old daughter onto a passerby's boat before she went under the water.
Crews from more than a dozen agencies subsequently searched for the 6-year-old boy, scouring 228 square miles over 69 hours, according to the Coast Guard. Around 5 p.m. Friday, officials suspended the search,“It is always a difficult decision to suspend a search and rescue case, and even more painful when children are involved,” Capt.
Kailie Benson, commander of Coast Guard Sector Boston, said in a statement. “Considering the extensive search efforts by the Coast Guard and the numerous state and local agencies, along with on scene conditions, I have made the decision to suspend the search for the missing 6-year-old boy. Our prayers are with the boy and mother’s family and friends during this time.”
