Authorities Locate Lost Child Only To Realize The Situation Is Far From Over

If you don't have your eyes glued to your toddler at all times, they could disappear at any moment. In high-traffic places like New York City and Disney World, parents sometimes even leash their children! Still, you'd think it'd be hard to lose a child in the secluded quaintness of the woods. So when an unsupervised three-year-old boy from Florida wandered off into the thick of the woods, his mother was worried sick, but as it turned out, he wasn't alone...

The Great Outdoors

When a Live Oak, Florida, toddler was playing in the woods with his siblings, his mother thought nothing of it. Seeing the little tykes frolicking and enjoying the great outdoors warmed her heart...until she looked out the window and noticed someone was missing.

Desperately Crying Out

Her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach. What was she supposed to do? Of course the mama — who later declined to provide her name — cried out for her son and searched the entire house. At her wit's end, she dialed 911.
