Authorities are conducting an ongoing search for a 14-year-old boy who went missing in ocean waters at the Jersey Shore, according to officials.

The search operation is currently active, though officials have not provided additional details about the circumstances surrounding the boy's disappearance or the specific location along the Jersey Shore where the incident occurred.

In a separate incident, 12-year-old Xavier Taylor from New Jersey remains in critical condition at a hospital after being struck in the head by a baseball during team warm-ups before a game last week.

The baseball incident occurred during pre-game preparations, though specific details about the circumstances of how Taylor was struck have not been released by authorities or medical officials.

Both incidents involve young boys in New Jersey and have prompted responses from emergency services, though they appear to be unrelated events occurring in different parts of the state.
