Exactly, that man need more credit in this case, I hope those kid didn't forget about his kindness either

@@thomasfoster2 No, they don't let civilians search at night, because of the dangers and then they would have to look for two people instead of one. You should think about going to the hundreds of anti cop and police hating channels if you want to bash the police. You will find lots of friends (thugs, criminals, and POS) there.

@@IcyBlueii They had the National Guard, police, volunteer dog trackers, and helicopters out here for 5 days looking for a lost boy. The idiots running the show, in their effeminate voices, told me and my buddies, who have been hunting the area all our lives, that we would have to go buy Patagonia clothing before we would be allowed to help. So ridiculous. Anyway, we didn't listen to them, split up into two groups, and headed out that same night we arrived at camp. Three of my buddies found him at daybreak and got their pictures in the paper. First rule, never stop locals from searching. Second rule, never believe that police are more capable than anyone else. Most of them are uneducated and out of shape.

Glad the kids are okay. No thanks to the police.

Pretty sure the high fives from those precious children was all the praise he needed - his heart must be singing right now

I figure he could care less about the praise...that goes to God! Finding those kids unharmed is all the blessing needed! What a wonderful feeling just to be a part of that miracle!

Ikr the cop is happily accepting all the praise

I think they told him not to go out and search and he did anyways

I agree but I bet finding them is a reward that will warm him internally forever 🙏

That first kid looked like he was thriving out there

I'm thinking the volunteer who found them probably restored or preserved their high spirits and the second man did a wonderful job of holding the atmosphere. Make them feel anything but in danger or in trouble

Indeed

I'm just glad that this volunteer was determined to search through the night and heard them all the way down at the creek.

Yes! He's also the one who asked for the jacket for the kids

It funny how they take all the credit the police doing his job the man that found then was just a God send

He didn't want any credit according to the news article: The man, who asked to not be identified, found the children around 9.30am about a mile from where officials believe they entered the forest, about 400 yards off a forest road in the area, in a dry creek bed. The do-gooder then called 911 and alerted authorities that he had found the children. The man told police that he preferred to remain anonymous as he want any public attention or praise for the good deed.

@April yea the local PD will always want to take the credit for things like this.. there's a channel that dives for wrecks and stuff like that, and you see the PD wanting to take credit for what he's done.

@April You're making assumptions about a situation you know nothing about. those police could have been out all day searching. EVERYONE needs sleep. sleep deprivation + searching the woods at night is a terrible recipe for disaster. the other guy searching could have just been taking the next shift after his own rest. Plus its common for police departments to use volunteer hikers who know the terrain well to find missing persons. Your ignorant comment is what is shameful.

No, this body cam footage was on the deputy. It was filming the moment the deputy found the volunteer with the three kids. The volunteer found them much sooner than when the deputy met up with them.

@@sdographics exactly what he said

@@mrnon0z But the video specifically is showing the moment the kids were taken into custody by the cops. Yes the volunteer found the kids, but the search isnt over until the kids are specifically with the cops who can then call over the search and take them to their family. The video doesnt show when how or where the volunteer found the kids. It shows where the cop found the volunteer with the kids.

@@harrypottersnumbrfan why did none of the other cops take their jackets off and put them on the kids

Kids were found that’s all that matters!

Everybody was out there searching. What matters is that they're safe.

@Jim Griggy - I believe the gentleman who found the children specifically asked that he not be identified, as he didn't want any credit or praise for his good deed. (That's not to say I think anyone else should be getting that credit if they didn't earn it). @BAGELMENSK - I can only go by what I've seen said here in the comments, but apparently the search was 'called off' for the night, & pretty much everyone went home to sleep & were to resume the search in the morning. This volunteer (who found them) continued to search through the night.

Exactly

You are so right! But, God knows and the volunteer mention God so he was shining gods light and he will be rewarded. Makes me feel better hope u2. Hgd!🤗

What utter cobblers. Rescuers. They stood there with their hands in their pockets keeping themselves warm. There was no urgency, even though the kids were freezing. No offer of a drink, a hug or reassurance that their parents were on their way. These were little kids not petulant teenagers.

@@brookehaybel9693 the kids were all neighbors and allowed to play on the path that connected their houses. They didn’t come back at the time their parents told them.but I believe the parents thought they might be at the others house so it may have taken them a little bit longer to call or go over to the neighbors and realize the kids weren’t there and that’s when the search started. These aren’t siblings they are neighbors so the parents briefly thought their own kid was at one of the neighbor kids houses but they all realized pretty quickly and called police within a couple hours, the police just couldn’t find the kids that whole time... which is probably why that volunteer decided to just go out and look himself.

Hissy fits? They were lost in the woods all night. There would’ve been absolutely nothing wrong if they were terrified, sobbing messes that needed to be carried the entire way out.

If they had fits and were crying they would still be brave kids. They were alone ALL night. Crying doesn’t make kids not brave. Weirdo.
