Volunteer says “y’all wouldn’t let me in over there last night so I went around and searched all night” credit goes to that man for the effort he put forth. 👏
Dedicated ❤️
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.
The volunteer who actually found them needed a little more coverage and praise.
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 🙏
Nothing gives a man more strength than hearing "You're really strong" from a child in need of saving.
isnt it facinating to what littel boys and girls grow :D
@@hmcredfed1836 huh ?? Wdym
@@itsmeabeer_orwoodie9019 It’s obvious what he means!
But I thought all cops were evil? R we sure these r real cops?
@@dont-touch-mepg1392 bastards not evil😊
I got lost as a child once, not in the woods it was in a big city and, this teenager found me crying behind a dumpster and he took my hand and said, I'm going to get you home buddy, it's alright. He spent 4 hours with me helping get me to a police station where they were able to figure out my mother's phone number and get me back to her. I don't remember his name or even why he decided to help me but, if not for him I don't know what would have happened to me. Thanks to people like him there are so many young lives saved.
This was nice to hear. Glad it worked out for you. Im wishing that person all the happiness in the world.
Teenagers are capable of such destruction and such selflessness. They really will be a public nuisance for shits and giggles and then fully lay down their lives for someone, no questions asked.
@@JoTheAnomaly just look at the neuroscience, the brain of teenagers is far from developed and can explain so many tendencies people tend to have and to as teenage.
Wow, the way I don't know this guy and wish him the best in life
I was put on the wrong bus as a kindergartner and at the last stop the bus driver kicked me off despite me telling her I was lost. Two teenagers found me and took me to their dad, who allowed me to use a phone. Thank goodness my grandpa had me memorize the house number a few days prior. It caused years of severe anxiety though.
That gentleman that searched all night is a hero. He’s the one that made that happen!
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. Neighbors who know the man told officers that 'he's a quiet guy but always helpful.'
The volunteer found the children, not the policeman. Credit to the volunteer. God bless him.
Who said he didnt?
I love the ending of the story but how did they even get lost in the woods
God bless him, where was god when the kids got lost... imagine there terror... cased by a god allowing them to get lost...
I know, .. makes no sense. Here is where you say how god really works?
@@morbidmanmusic Well if God did not protect them, it was the three wise men Santa Claus maybe but someone protected them ...
@@morbidmanmusic If everything was perfect there would be no free will for us. I encourage you to give your life to Christ. God is very much alive. Bad things in life happen, sin is the reason. Look back in the book of genesis my friend.
4:08 The fact that he went out of his way to *not* say "stitched up" so he wouldn't freak out the kids is such a great thing. What a good dude.
Lol i just noticed 😂
Wow, nice catch.
Great catch!
Disaster averted!
I'm shocked at how composed and calm those children are. No panic at all, still in good spirits, encouraging each other, after a dark, wet, and cold night in a forest.
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
They knew they were saved, and their wee peanut brains hadn’t understood the gravity of the situation enough to freak out
@@BisexualPlagueDoctor that's probably true. Also these kids probably liked that adventure until it got really hard
@@teonatsios491 yes
That guy who was searching all night, enough can't be said. If I was the parents I would feel a debt to him that could never be repaid.
Depends on how the mom looks...
Exactly!
He would become an extended family member if those were my children he found.
I don't have kids (yet) but I hope someone would do the same for mine
If I were their parents I would have been in those woods searching all night for my kids as well. Nothing or nobody could have stopped me.
Did that volunteer that brought them to the police offficer search all night ???? Wow!! Thats a real hero..he didn't even have a jacket or nothing
He had a sweater, which is like a jacket. The officer looked to be wearing a short sleeve, wow great heroism!
Thats what I got from this. The Volunteer found them and was bringing them out when they came across the officer
The volenter is the true hero here.
That poor little guy was having a tough time of it, I wish the terrain was a little better so the officer might have been able to carry him.
He wasn't going home to get his bed with kids out in the woods. God bless him...
Did the local community officially recognise the searcher's efforts and achievements? I do hope so. The parents and children will never forget him.
@@AlphaF28 Legend
Im a police officer and myself and my coworkers worked through the night once to find a 91 year old woman with dementia who had wandered away from her house and into the woods. It took us over 18 hours of searching, but we amazing found her alive and well after the sun started coming up. Was a long and hard night, but of course the strongest of us all was the wonderful lady who prevailed despite being scared, confused, cold and alone.
I don't know you but thank you for not giving up!
Thank you for not giving up Sir.
God bless you and those who searched for her
i mean 18 hours isnt enough to kill a person even if shes 91, unless it was a particular very cold night.
Meh. 91 years is a good run, why waste resources.
“Moment Volunteer Finds 3 Children in the Woods” not that the police weren’t looking but that volunteer should get the credit.
Yes
Exactly
Agree!
THATS RIGHT but without hesitation WHO did He IMMEDIATELY give the credit to……..”AIN’T JESUS GOOD”, YES….HE IS.
Amen!!!!" "I got em" that just didn't sit right with me at all after that man searched all night and did the searching, ,it bothered me that the cop didn't even say thanks to the older man nor acknowledged him right away through the radio .thank man is an angel he gave all the credit to God , God bless him.
This reminds me of an incident where I used to live. The lost boy, who was about 8, was a city kid who was lost all night in the woods. When the uniformed searchers found him, he didn't want to go with them because he had been taught not to go with strangers. One of the searchers told him they were going to take him to his mother. He replied, "How do I know you know my mother?" Street smarts all over the place. They got his mother on the radio who told him it was OK to go with the rescuers. No matter how scared he had to have been, he didn't forget what he was not supposed to do.
This child isn't going places
@@samanthamitchellprete5646
What a thing to say about an EIGHT YEAR OLD CHILD.
Can you TRY and put yourself in his shoes for just a moment or is he destined for failure cause he got lost in the woods.
I do not confront people on YT.
I make it a point not to but seriously Samantha what are you thinking?
@@missmissy_90 maybe it’s just me, but I thought they were joking because the child was refusing to move. So physically he ain’t going anywhere…
@@l-m6313
Aww
Never would have thought of that. That was very sweet of you to give me a reasonable explanation.
The commenter owed me no response. I went from zero to hundred reading.
Thanks again.
@@missmissy_90 lol
"i got you bud" got me teared up "wow you are really strong" made me smile, this is the beauty of police work
Shows how truly innocent little kids are. Still making the best out of a bad situation. So glad these little ones made it back safe!
noob kids who dont use GPS... they can play games all day and know the fortnite map by heart, but cant use navigation. such noobs
@@SoyAntonioGamingskill issue lol
Looks like the volunteer found the children and kept them going until the got to emergency services. Good on him!
@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 Volunteers don't care. We're just happy to do our part. No need for recognition.
@@nikolai3620 They may not need recognition but that doesn't mean they shouldn't get it.
@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.
@@otherthan3509 I disagree. The last thing a true hero wants is to be regarded as hero.
The REAL hero is that older gentleman who was out there all night in the dark and already had found them and was bringing them back. KPRC SHOULD recognize him and let the family know about him. The cop or rescuers didn't even mention him to the other guy who said "good job" . This news crew got this story completely wrong
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!🤗
I lost my grand daughter once in a JC Penny years ago, (I know not quite the same) but the feeling of absolute dread when you realize they are really missing is a feeling you can't describe. That was only 20 minutes.
I lost my little boy in a store once! He decided to hide under a clothing rack & it was in just a moment. Lucky a lady found him! ( HE THOUGHT IT WAS A GAME) but I will never forget the absolute TERROR! He about gave me a heart attack!
Its not the same and i wouldnt know AND i watch too many crime shows but I think I would panic more in a store! I trust nature more than humans sometimes 😢
20 minutes is an eternity.
20 minutes is long
@@katiewalsh4738 Yeah both are bad for different reasons. In nature a trip/slip can mean the end, but in a store, a person with bad intentions can also mean the end.......different scenario, but both very dangerous.
I love how they have been lost for so long and theyre soaking wet, but the first thing the kid says is 'wow, you're really strong!'
These are some good kids I'm glad theyre okay!
The volunteer who found those 3 babies is a hero. He was out there all night looking for them and then had to tell the officer to give the little one a jacket. He was so tender hearted. THANK YOU SIR. THANK YOU LORD.
Amen 🙏🏻
Those SAR guys definitely don't get enough credit
I hope the parents were looking for them all night as well... if not, they are unfit parents and I question their dedication.
I agree. The volunteer is the real hero.
And at 1:19 it looks like he has 2 missing fingers or a hand injury. He's the hero in this, not the police. Remember everyone we can all make a difference.
This hero volunteer is a true trailblazer. Not only did he continued the search throughout the night, he found those babies, protected them, and led them to safety. I hope he gets the recognition he so rightfully deserves.
Yeah he thanked Jesus 🙏
Sometimes we entertain angels unaware. That man is like angel 😇
Repent to Jesus Christ!!!
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV
He deserves a reward plaque and celebration. It was so sweet the way the talked to them. They obviously like him.
@@robertschultz9806 that's discusting. Man why be ugly
Years ago I was involved in something similar, unfortunately the outcome was not the same. I would have given ten years of my life to have found those two babies. They have been with the angels for three decades now and it still breaks my heart when I think of them.
What happened?
I hope the guilt you carry leaves your mind sometime. Goodluck
So sorry to hear that. Prayers for you.
@@orbitalpl1 Their parents were unpacking the car at the beach car park, they only took their eyes off them for seconds, the kids wandered off. That part of our coast is full of sand bars and mud flats, the tide can cut you off from land and you would not even know it. We searched for six days dawn till dusk, we even had hundreds of military helping with all the support they could bring including photo recee aircraft. It was an unusually warm summer that year it was exhausting, but we on kept searching. Finally had to admit that we were not going to find them alive. They were found drowned a week later, twenty miles down the coast. They were a boy and a girl five and six years old, The same age as my children, it was heart breaking.
@@bepolite6961 / that’s really tragic, especially for the parents to loose not one but two children at once. Do you know the results of an autopsy? Did they drown or they died and then water took them?
The little girl is tough as nails...she was wearing barely anything whilst wet having spent the time on the forest but still leading the charge to safety and caring for her brother who she said was bleeding. Great story!
Seems more like the volunteer citizen who searched all night was the one who's actually discovered the kids.
That guy deserves the credit for being a hero.
God knows and that is all that matters!
No body cam no credit sorrrryyy
@@jzila9900 wtf lmao ??? You’re weird bruh Fr
@@getupwithmelol ikr
Ur comment means crap also
Damn, the way the volunteer guy is acting like it's just a fun adventure is so wholesome. Those kids are lucky to have his help
Coz that's how you behave with children. It keeps them calm
Strength of a man, the thing that feminists always complain about.
Just a good ole southern Pawpaw
So sweet
he knew how to handle the youngsters, mad respect to the man
probably a dad himself
There is no greater feeling than doing right by a child in a bad situation. That was the most gratifying part of working in the emergency services for twenty years.
This guy? I PROMISE you that this was one of the best days of his life! It’s a great feeling.
Helping others makes you feel so good. I love helping others (and no I'm not in the emergency services)
I panic when I think my dog has wandered off, I can’t even begin to imagine how this would feel for a parent. Thank you volunteers and first responders
Please keep your doggy on a leash
when you are outside. Taking the
risk of losing him is not worth it🦮
This honestly shows Texans at their best. Man searched all night in his Astros hoodie, says “ain’t Jesus good?” and “you got cheeseburgers in your car?” Good on him
Rumor has it he found them in a trash can.
💗
Shows humans at they're best. Has nothing to do with Texans
what does being a texan, astros hoodie, talking about a religious deity and cheeseburgers have to do with a good and honest man volunteering and finding lost kids? lol
@@malkinmalone its funny because when we were really young we asked about where babies come from and my mom and dad told us that we were aliens and they found us in a trash can and had to cut our antenna and paint us a different color as we got older they told us the real truth im 34 and im still disappointed im not a real alien
Not only did the volunteer continue to search and save them after being told no. He also encouraged the officer to give up his jacket and kept those kids in good spirits the whole way. That man is a true hero with a heart of gold.
He knew he'd find them.
Exactly, couldnt have said it better myself, man deserves a story done on him and some sort of reward, true salt of the earth.
Yea he is.
Why was he told no? How awful
How’d they get into the woods I wonder?
Volunteer needs to be awarded 💯
My little brother was lost in the woods at the age of 2. He was found by a brave officer and his K9, "Cool Hand Luke." He was lost for about 6-8 hours. This was around 1985 or so. Our family was and is grateful to that brave officer!
Although the officer was very professional and compassionate, the title should say “Moments the VOLUNTEER found 3 children in the wood”. At the end, I am happy they were found
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.
@@sdographics did you read the comment you replied to?
@@harrypottersnumbrfan why did none of the other cops take their jackets off and put them on the kids
Those kids weren’t scared because that man was upbeat and made it all as fun and safe as he could to keep them calm. Well done to that man 🏆🥇❤️
They got lost in the woods. If these kids weren’t scared it’s either because it happened before.

How did they end up in the middle of the woods on a roadway? Utter respect to the gentleman who searched, found and stayed with them. And of course to the Emergency services for the amazing work they did. The kids to be fair were in high spirits, despite being soaking wet and I imagine rather cold. So glad they were safe.
I would guess they were exploring the woods and got lost.
The wandered down a dry creek bed, realized they were lost and went back to the creek and stayed put all night because they were taught to stay together and stay put if lost. That’s where the rescuer found them.
@@johansmallberries9874 Oh I see, well I have to say they are brave kids. Especially seeing how calm they were. Amazing work by the man who found and stayed with them and the other rescuers.
@@johansmallberries9874It's an amazing tip that unfortunately many people don't remember when they find themselves in the same scenario. Good on the parents too for teaching their kids what to do when lost and stay calm.
Roads do go through woods you know
That cop is probably the best dad!!! He acted so natural with these kids!!!
Volunteer is the real hero here. Give him his due in the TITLE not just the Description of the video.
Totally agree. Give the credit to where it's due. All to often the real heroes are sidelined.
Give this man a cheeseburger

Thank you Jesus for letting me now a Godly man such as he was.
The volunteer deserves money for helping the kids I can't imagine little baby's alone all night it's sooo upsetting
"You're really strong"
The kid is so cute and I know that made the guy feel better
And then when he said, "I'm trying my best" ah my heart just melted 💓
Hell he was on cloud nine after finding them but that was a sweet thing to say.
The volunteer was the true hero of this situation. He was the one who helped the kids
I mean they’re all heroes
they all looked
I love that one of the first things the volunteer says to the kids is “We going to get something to eat.” True hero and a very calming presence considering the circumstances.
The guy that stayed out there and found them is like that one good old guy in your town that makes America still feel wholesome.
Kids are incredible. They almost seemed like they were having a fun adventure and were just going ‘along for the drive’
I know right, crazy how rough they look yet they still seem happy
Sometimes not knowing the danger in is all it takes for an emergency to simply be an adventure.
And they were *together* and stayed together! Very strong sibling bond! And I am sure that this is not the first time that they have had an adventure!!! It looks like they went to look for a one. And got a drive in a police car and cheese burgers!!! The Best Childhood Adventure!!!

They're just calm and aware. Same for the guy who found them, and the cop. Everyone is calm, but focussed and collected. You can see everyone is very relieved the kids are found in good health. But no one loses their mind over it by yelling or crying.

Yes the is the example of how anyone should act. So sweet and kind to those children and even gave the little boy his jacket. It makes me happy to see someone do what's right despite what anyone else said
that dude knows those woods..i bet he was in there as a kid..so he knew where to search...
those types of people are the best for searches like this!
police officers know nothing....they are a bunch of idiots..always giving directions that mean nothing! that volunteer is a hero !!
@@NoYouAreNotDreaming I bet he's been hunting kids in the woods for a long time. Guess he had too much of an audience to be evil. It's always good throw folks a curve now and them throws them off . Just how stupid are you.
@@lakota123max you are the idiot. The guy that found the kids was looking for a victim. But he had an audience.
I m soo impressed how cool, calm and collected the kids were after spending a night being drenched in rain and lost in dense woods. Pretty hardcore for 6 and 7 yrs.olds. 🙏
1:54 There was also a hero's cape here.....well done officer 👨✈
The volunteer found the kids, not the officer. The headline should be changed!
Regardless, its awesome they were found safe and sound!❤
Criminals always take credit.
They really should fire a lot of these “journalists”
Yeah its not like the police help people everyday or anything.
But what doesn't matter who found them they found them God-bless them
Doesn’t surprise me. Radio’d in like he found them. Taking all the credit.
Thank you volunteer searcher. You did a great thing finding those children.
Yes and amen
Yup they did God Bless Them Always 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Evil PimpIk Thanks God they found them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Evil Pimp ? All he did was tell the kids to come to him. Not sure what you are triggered about.
@Evil Pimp I’m pretty sure he was just informing the other cops that he had located the volunteer with the kids. Although I did find it kinda strange that when they got out of the woods everyone’s shaking the cops hand and pretty much ignoring the volunteer dude
first responders. what a blessing
What a blessing Those little boys and that little girl sound like they are something else when comes to believing in themselves!! They sounded like they never missed a beat!!!
GOD BLESS THAT VOLUNTEER FOREVER AND ALWAYS, HE NEVER GAVE UP. HE'S THE MVP.
I know right! Thank god there’s good people
It’s good to know people like the volunteer exist Still this man is a legend!!!!!!!
I know!! This world is so evil, there is more bad than good at this point and when you see good you appreciate it even thought the good isn't coming to you
@@rebecaramirez5373 Fr
If a casual volunteer is a legend, how about the million people who spend most of their life to help others with their search/rescue/emergency/helpline setup?
@@levonyoung7361 dudes not hating, he's just trying to say that there were other volunteers and people involved.
@@levonyoung7361 And I really thought if it's "good to know people like the volunteer exist", it makes you feel better when thinking about the other millions. But sure, RUclips is an emotional mess.
Realizing that he'd found them all safe must be the best feeling in the world.
its gonna be another 20 years before those kids fully appreciate this memory and how close they came.
As a member of a search team I have a pretty good hunch of what went through his mind when he found those kids. That's what it's all about.
God bless you and everyone who does this kind of work.
😊
I appreciate your service big Man. What are the requirements to become a search and rescue member?
@@katherineuribe2952 Thank you !
@@hellacoldhustla3210 It heavily depends on your location and the required skills ( mountains, desert, snow etc. ) I suggest doing some research in your local geography. Typically being fit, quick on your feet, and being level headed and staying focussed under pressure are a good start
THE VOLUNTEER DISCOVERED THESE KIDS! Give the credit where it is due!
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. Neighbors who know the man told officers that 'he's a quiet guy but always helpful.'
Yes. Bloody cop wanted the glory, blew off the true hero
This officer will watch this video when he gets old and retired and feel those shoulder taps and hand shakes like angels kisses...
THANK YOU volunteers and Police Officers! You know once they found them they would never lose them again.
Finally, a story of lost children with a happy ending. You get kind of bitter seeing stories of death and sometimes worse, seeing this video is a breath of fresh air.
I relate to that 100%
Yes. And now if you watch it it not as professional as you would like or think. Ow you know why the ending is tragic no appropriate training. And yeah these guys (Police and volunteer) were scared also for that reason.
Amen brother! 🙏
Great job sir you are very good with kids, you kept them calm and it's people like you that we need doing these types of things, and I hope you got a award
The grand majority of children who go missing get back home, and most get back home relatively soon. I hope that makes you feel better; it did for me. :)
The volunteer who didn't give up deserves the credit .
Yes he does, and he gave the credit to Jesus, ain't Jesus good?
He didn't want credit.

"Am I really strong ??" He was asking that to himself
Big thanks to all the officers involved saving these kids also big thanks to the man finding them and bringing them to police for a safe return home
the volunteer is a hero they kids will remember him God bless him
Kids were clearly raised by a good household and caring parents. They stuck together and remained calm.
Hmmm... where were they when they wandered into the woods?
@@beteeho someone doesnt have any kids
@@beteeho I get that situations like this raise scrutiny upon parents, but things like this can happen even to watchful and responsible parents. Kids sometimes have a mind of their own and life-altering circumstances can develop in the blink of an eye. I’d be a little more compassionate to the parents and reserve judgment if I were you.
@@renk1071 someone shouldn't have any (children).
@@beteeho I can tell you'd probably lock your children up in their rooms.
Because the fact that you expect kids to be perfect little angels by listening to you and sticking to you like glue tell me you know nothing about kids or raising kids.
The little boy saying “we try our best”was so adorable I’m so glad they are safe
That was absolutely beautiful , it made me cry
@@MsStormygale me too 🥲
And they absolutely did their best! They’re still here and made it home safe and together 🥺
Omg...wow
This is what humanity is about
God bless you
Pay attention to what the volunteer says at 1:08. Chilling. He may very well have saved those children's lives.
“Police discover 3 children” already discovered by the guy they tried to stop from looking
@@user-tu6ty2ui1u thank you
@@user-tu6ty2ui1u dead kids are more negative
@@user-tu6ty2ui1u if my children are missing and people want to volenteer to help by all means go ahead. I’d just want my children back. The more people searching the better the chances they are found right?
@@user-tu6ty2ui1u yup, yup! lets leave it to the trained guberment ficials! Yup, yup! It's ok if da trained guberment ficials find the bodies in a few days or weeks, as long as it was the trained guberment ficials and not some stupid individual that found dem! /sarc
What do you mean, they tried to stop him? I didn't get the full zgory?
"Ain't Jesus good?"
"Let's go get something to eat!"
These are two men understand how that cheerful attitude could be extremely reassuring in this moment. Trait of good men. Absolute respect for both of them.
Considering countless people have gone missing and never found, or found dead id argue jesus is only good occasionally in the sense of lost individuals being successfully found alive and well. Either way, it doesnt look good for a supposedly omnipotent god.
I love ur profile picture!!
@@h91rex100 who cares, let people have a belief that makes them happy.
@@FatherPun i do. You talk as if i tracked this person down to harass them. They decided to make their beliefs public and comment so i responded. Why is this an issue?
@@h91rex100 it’s just sometimes good to be a good person. You couldn’t care less about these kids being found all because suffering has happened before in life. Your mentality cripples you. You basically said anything good that happens in life is constantly overshadowed by suffering. That’s just a sad outlook on life that I hope you can amend. God bless you and your family
Hat's off to that volunteer, he's one great hero.
You're really strong! So sweet. Proud of everyone involved.
the volunteer that risked his life searching for them all night is the true hero. look at this headline. pathetic news organization.
Personally, I don’t care. The 3 children were found and that’s the most important thing! ❤️
@@melanieballard110 They were found by the volunteer. Who knows what could’ve happened to them if this man was not out there looking all night for them. Do you get that? No.. it’s ok girl. You keep being you!
@@doracampos2088 Um, yes, I completely and fully understand that. I was only saying that ultimately it shouldn’t matter who found them, only that they WERE found.
@@melanieballard110 It should matter. If you searched all night for someone, wouldn’t you want to be respected?
@@melanieballard110 You might not have kids but I do, and as a mother I can guarantee you that it matters. I would owe my life to this men. After hugging and thanking God for my children’s safety, I would want to run and hug whoever saved my kids.
Best news I've heard all year. I can't imagine what a nightmare and relief that must have been for the parents and children. Those officers and civilians are true heroes.
@edie sheridan rescuing children from a life or death situation at risk of your own health is the epitome of heroism. Especially if they aren't even your own children. Being heroic is usually synonymous with being a decent person though. So yeah.
@@censoredforthetruth7475 it’s their job. It’s what they are paid to do!
@edie sheridan heroes
@@itismeIamher you are ungrateful
@@itismeIamher if those officers have ever written a ticket without asking the driver if they were acting in a commercial capacity then they are not a good officer. rescuing children is a great thing i agree. good people would all do the same, cops are just men and women same as the rest of us nothing magical about what someone wears. other then the fact good people do good things no matter what they wear.
All heroes in this video. God bless you all. Cop must be a Dad. He knew exactly how to keep their minds right. Cheeseburgers all around! I'm buying.
coulda been a tragedy. Now these kids will live full meaningful lives thanks to these guys. God bless our first responders.
You can't begin to imagine the relief the parents must have felt ...
Right!?! They can actually breath again!! So glad they were found!
How long were they lost for?
@@nireneelloc5565 I'm not sure exactly but definitely over night .
@@juleerowley9706 😢💔 so scary. Glad they've been found!
I started to cry as they came out of the woods. I can't imagine what the parents felt when they held them again
Thanks to that volunteer, if not for his determination to go ahead looking all night out there. Those kids would still be missing.
I have spent nights in a forest stuck under a tree that fell on me while chainsawing. It is not a fun experience. The forest I was stuck in, in no ways was as dense as this one. That volunteer, ‘man what a man.’ It was that wok toxicity that enabled him to be able to be in that forest through the night. If these searchers had been wok, the children would have died.
The kid is also so strong and the adult keeping him in a strong mood is incredible
I’m so thankful for them finding those beautiful babies.
