The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.

FFS BBC, did nobody proof read this?

    Something like:

    'The boy's 47-year-old mother, her other son, 12, and daughter, eight, were located at around 20:30 by a rescue helicopter. They were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14km offshore.'

    The way they've put it, it sounds like the rescue helicopter was clinging to a paddleboard when it found them!
