The grandfather of a boy reported missing last Friday has criticised police for insisting on seeing the boy after his mother claimed he had called her twice and he is safe.

Jaymie Fisher was dropped off at his mother's Glenorchy home on Friday for a weekly visit and reported missing on the same day.

Police have scoured nearby bushland for the boy who has twice phoned his mother Rachel Fisher.

But her father Brian Fisher believes his grandson will not say where he is hiding because he does not want to return to foster care.

"He's had a gutful of it, you know. He wants to go home, he wants to live his life properly," he said

Mr Fisher says police threatened his daughter when they spoke to her last night and she is frightened.

Police say Mr Fisher should lodge a formal complaint if he has concerns.

They say the investigation will continue until Jaymie is returned to his legal guardian.
