That neighbour deserves an award just as much
❤
No adults just want a thank you not a shiny piece of metal.
The vast majority of people are good. I know it doesn't always seem like that, but it's true.
@@williammoore5081 God bless you for saying that.
it seemed like it was kind of all the neighbour...
The dog's handler said that Midnight's forte is drug searches, but he can search for people. The other officer near him said that they would contact the state prison to get their dog(s) that search for humans. Midnight still did his best. (but yes, the neighbor was the key factor in finding the boy).
Oh, that explains it! I thought it was weird they had a lab doing the person search, it's usually german shepherds that do people searches and labs that do drugs and bombs. Midnight is an extra good boy, then!
Thank you for that clarification!! I completely misunderstood that part, it makes a lot more sense now why Midnight was on the struggle bus a little. I noticed that he had a hard time following scents as a trail and kept trying to signal that he had ‘found’ the scent in the officers hand, makes a LOT more sense now as to why!
Drug dog got em to the neighbors at least
@@nogoodhandlesavailable it didnt though. the neighbor flagged the police down and they went over there. she heard the kid crying.
He said prison bloodhounds that search for escapees
Shout out to ewu for giving the extremely helpful neighbor some recognition🥰
❤yes❤
It seems they deserve most of the recognition. Nothing against the amazing K9 units and what they do, but they did not track to the correct area, the neighbor pointed them to the correct area, and the sound of a child means you don't really need the K9 at that point.
Agreed. And shame on the dog handler for claiming the glory. Can't blame the dog, it's a dog.
@@michaelscott-joynt3215 And the police post did not mention the neighbour at all. They just made it sound like Midnight found the boy after tracking his scent through the woods.
@@ragnarthered2179 Keeping him and his dog in a job
Most likely if a dog fails to find someone who is close by they’ll consider replacing them
I'm a mom and I know that "He knows he's not supposed to" and 3 year-old do not go together. I feel so bad for this mom. She'll learn dearly from this.
Sad but true!
Exactly!
i thought she was going to pass out when she was informed he was found
The part that got me was the garden having fences either side for privacy but no rear fence to prevent the child from leaving/ prevent deadly wildlife from entering.
@@itsjustbrandy4290 i thought the exact same thing when she kept saying that…
That neighbor ABSOLUTELY deserves recognition! If it wasn't for her, he may not have been found until much much longer! What a shame!
I agree! If I was the mother, I would have asked the officers who she was so I can hug her and thank her for being on the lookout...if she hadn't been, she wouldn't have heard him crying.
The dog did absolutely nothing lol! Even when he heard him cry, he had no clue what direction to go
@@mortimersmithsr2522 the dog still led the officer in the right direction
@@mortimersmithsr2522 right im looking for a comment saying this
the cop says midnight found him i believe just to get the dog credit lol
She may of not wanted recognition
The neighbor who reported hearing a child crying should have been recognized for her contribution.
maybe she wants her privacy
It's hilarious how they awarded themselves with that award. If it weren't for the neighbor they'd still be searching.
@@1SmokedTurkey1 right
s/o to the neighbor
@@Original-PhantomShe doesn't need to be "recognized", just to show a good faith yk??
Takeaway #1... If your backyard connects to a wood, you may consider putting a fence.
Right? Even all the houses nearby got fences.
I'm sure they will now!😰 I wonder why there wasn't one to begin with?
Or watch your kid.. she did say it was her first so she probably never made that mistake again. And the neighbor has a pool she didn't think to check until way after he boy had been missing. That could have ended horribly.
Agreed!
@@denise8791affordability. Fences are expensive AF. Or it could be a rental home that won't erect a fence.
After watching countless police interrogation videos, seeing a video like this one-where a missing boy is found-is incredibly heartwarming and fills me with joy.
Me too!! It's terrifying when you lose sight of your babies. I'm so glad he's back home safe!!
Good job neighbor lady for hearing the crying!!
Good job Midnight!! Good boy, definitely deserved a big bone for finding the baby!! 🩵🩵🩵
Right, I kept waiting for it to turn for the worst and the mom to be involved or something because I’ve seen so many recently, it’s relieving to know she was truly just a caring and worried mom
That neighbor is the reason that child is alive. He was completely off path of where they were searching, literally in the opposite direction. Thank you anonymous neighbor, you saved a child's life that day even if nobody told you!
Exactly! You know mom didn’t thank her, she seemed entitled and rude and no, I’m not being insensitive. She was barely surprised when she heard he was found, still yapping about her coworkers tragedy.
@@Ruby-ev9ym to me it seemed more like she was so distressed that she had to focus on something else (like finishing her thought) to keep herself from freaking out more. this whole time she seemed like she was having a panic attack while being in shock
Having a K9 dog is teamwork amongst the dog and handler. The officer should have did his best to take Midnight’s lead but I can understand how stressful that would be when you’re in the woods with other predator animals. The officer was moving as fast as he could under all of the stress
@@Doolaidman good point! I was looking at it through my own bias of how I act under stress 😊
@@sagittaria9566other predators. What predators? And he’s heavily armed with a k9. It’s a patch of woods out back of some houses not the jungle or African savanah with lions and rhinos running around
A breath of fresh air honestly, so many sad videos out there it’s nice to see a win
Made me cry when they found him!😊
As the cops said, this is a good part of the job. I imagine everyone felt such joy and relief!
Agree.
Was nice to have a safe happy ending and a doggo who did his best! Thank You neighbor lady 🎉
Yes! Ewu makes great videos, I try to avoid the ones with children since I have a 2 yo too. It hurts so much when the mom felt hope dwindling, ad the story about the 3 yo that pass was heartbreaking. I hope that family blessings and this mom n her family blessings too. I love my MIL with her strict eagle eyes with my baby.
I hope the hero neighbor sees this video and reads the thousands of comments acknowledging her for helping finding the little boy. Ma'am, if you are reading this: You are awesome and a hero in our eyes. ❤
Thank you my son i appreciate that❤
It was 100% down to the neighbour that they found the boy at that time. If she hadn't alerted the cop when she did then there's no knowing when the kid would've been found. That lady definitely deserves the most recognition. Show her some respect at least!
You can’t leave 3 years old baby for 5 minutes, “she said he knows”
Aw I love how kind the officer was to the dog. When he suggested a different dog, he said he didn’t mean any disrespect and knew midnight was able to find people
he wasn't suggesting another dog. He was suggesting human trackers. Also midnight didn't actually find him.
@@3DGFan9000 i never said the dog did, but that the officer said it was able to
@@3DGFan9000 the officer WAS suggesting different dogs. he was talking about dogs that primarily search for humans. midnight was probably trained for bombs and drugs too, meaning he might not be as specialized.
@@devonkelly44looks like midnight wasn’t trained for humans bc the dog did nothing but got the recognition. Kudos to the neighbor and officer for finding the boy!
The dog got all the honor, he did absolutely nothing lol. Cute dog tho
That neighbor is such a kind soul for helping. Faith in humanity restored ❤
Honestly, that whole neighborhood deserves credit. Seems like everybody who was not at work dropped whatever they were doing to help. I wish my neighborhood was like that.
The neighbor deserves a big hug and some definite recognition! If it wasn't for her, the cops would still be looking!
Nah, they give up after 8 hours. Call off the amber alert after 24.
I think you underestimate the power of a k9.
@@RyanStonedonCanadianGamingDid you even watch it?
@@MsPinkwolf yes, but the kid would've been found still, making it sound like they'd be searching for hours/days longer...
The cops were already heading towards the neighbours is why the neighbour told them she heard crying.
@@RyanStonedonCanadianGaming Except they used a drug dog, and not a tracking dog. The dog lost the trail several times! If it wasn't for the neighbor, the cop wouldn't have gone down there!
Want to thank the neighbor who heard the cry of the child. THANK YOU FOR CARING. GOD BLESS YOU .
Damn, that kid has a pioneering spirit. He went deep into those woods in a short amount of time.
A pioneering spirit and the survival instinct of a tomato
@@sebastit7d just like most toddlers lol
Yes he does & he didn't even lose his little blue tablet. 💕💕💕
@@HenyaStudentyeah and that’s why parents are supposed to watch their toddlers. Not let them into the backyard unsupervised with open access to the woods with a fucking tablet to watch over them.
3 year old are fast on their feet
These k9 tracker dogs are insane. I watched one recently where someone robbed a store and didn't leave anything behind and the dog tracked to a shopping cart with all the stolen goods then through multiple yards over fences into a specific shed that he was hiding in. These dogs are well trained and completely unbiased to the outcome. They are trained on a job and perform it until they are told to stop. What a resource.
Yooo I watched that too lmao bro robbed a Gamestop
wow. that’s amazing i don’t see how they do what they do. but i’m great full for them for sure
That guy was crazy lol
do you remember which channel you watched it on?
Code Blue Cam
Thank God he was found safe. That neighbor deserves to be recognized for her hearing a cry and informing them
The fact nobody is talking about the mother leaving a 3 YO by themselves is crazy to me
"He knows not to go into the woods"... he's 3
He obviously doesn't "know not to go into the woods" or he would not have wandered off. I would never leave a 3 year old alone in the back yard with the assumption he won't go into the woods.
Never leave a kid who's 3 alone, never know what can happen ..
A FENCE has many purposes!!!!
Most drowning accident with kids happen with kids 0-4 years old, as if a 3 year old "knows" that they're not supposed to walk off...
I guess she regretted not keeping a closer eye on him now . A mountain lion or coyote could easily get in that garden and try to eat the child , lucky the little one was alright .
The neighbor is a hero to that entire neighborhood for the rest of her life.
Naw. Just a regular person that heared a cry in the woods and told the cops when she found out a baby was missing in the woods. Not a hero, just a regular person doing the logical and sane thing. Her not telling the cops would be up for notice, what she did should be expected.
@@guy2006Where do you live that everything is peachy like that??💀
Parent needs to watch her kid and get rid of the babysitter/tablet 3 yo with a tablet wth
@@guy2006I absolutely 💯% agree.
And if one's neighbors or neighborhood isn't like that, I'd be moving.
She got up off her arse and went outside ... She didn't have to @@guy2006
I lost my two year old once. Was really panicked, had the whole neighborhood looking. My legs were shaking and knees buckling.
She had climbed into the closet and fell asleep in the dirty laundry pile. Never thanked God so much in my life as when l found her. 😊
God bless
I don’t know why you would thank a god for that. Doesn’t seem to have done anything at all. Maybe thank the people who helped look.
I was that kid. My mom had so many panics because of me. I feel so bad about it now that I'm a mom myself.
@@judyives1832Please, just go away
@@judyives1832 always thank a god for evetything
Had an old English mastiff who found a lost little 3 year old with autism, was the best moment ever. He tracked him down and barked at him like crazy when he found him. ❤miss u boomer
Sorry for your loss he sounds like a good boy
RIP to the Goodest of Boys
The goodest boy that ever good boy'd!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm thinking of getting a Mastiff next... Either an English or a Boerboel, depending on what pairing comes up at the right moment. Probably an English type.
I've got my ear to the ground and the money put aside.
I've gotta get another service dog at some point in the next six months to go through the assistance dog program here in Australia, it's so hard to get a spot and I wasn't ready last year. I had a Rottweiler last time (I didn't actually get him with the intention of putting him through the program, but he was perfect) however I just can't find one as perfect as my Rollo was for me and I think a Mastiff suits my particular circumstances a little better now.
He's going to have to come to work with me (I own a company in the performing arts world) and Mastiffs are just that little bit less work driven and happier to chill with more people coming and going. I'm experienced and will give him the best upbringing, I just love having crazy looking dogs like that, as I'm sure you know walking a large dog like a fully grown Rottweiler or a Mastiff is like walking down the street with a freakin rockstar much of the time. Sometimes it's annoying, but it really helps me socialise and Mastiff types are well proven to be suited to my particular assistance needs.
Anyway, I know how tough it is to move forward when you lose one that was your best friend and although you never replace them it's an opportunity to find that unconditional love once again. This year I'm ready to go again.
If i was the mom i woulda let the pup keep the toy
The mom cared more about finishing her story than hearing the cop say they found him. I would have hit my gd knees.
I thought that was weird too. When the officer said, "We found him," I would've dropped to the ground and thanked God!
That was so strange! Even I felt a burst of relief I starting tearing up and got goosebumps, then I seen her reaction and was like what??? Definitely weird!
didn’t even ask about the condition he was found in, didn’t seem eager to get to him after learning he was found, very very odd
Weird
Trauma responses very differently for everybody. The news likely hadn’t even registered with her because she was so distressed.
If that neighbor happens to see this, just know that you played a vital role in that childs safe return home. That handler really wanted to place praise on his dog, but in reality, it couldn't have been done without your huge lead in the right direction. Bravo to you 👏👏
I wonder if that odd mother even thanked the neighbor.
@@thecatatemyhomework nothing to thank,every body was alerted by the community posts that a kid is missing,she just got out of her house cus she heard a kid crying,the kid is his own rescuer.
@@stephenroger4527 uh, if she hadnt bothered to leave her house, hadnt bothered to go listen, hadnt bothered to report the sound to the cops, especially considering she thought it couldve been cats, then this wouldnt have happened. Pretty ridiculous to give her no praise whatsoever and act like the crying was what solved it. Obviously it wasnt because until that specific lady heard it no one else had and who knows if they wouldve. Sounds like youre going out of your way to be a jackass.
@@stephenroger4527 also just look at the other comments, almost every single one is praising the lady's actions. So obviously a lot of people thought her actions were key.
@stephenroger4527 Nah, it wasn't the neighbor OR the kid. The real hero is sound waves, because without sound waves nobody would have heard the boy crying.
Or actually the REAL hero is vocal cords.
Oh no, the real hero is air. Without air the kid wouldn't have been able to cry.
Earth is the hero! If it wasn't for our planet, the atmosphere wouldn't have...... blah blah blah.
Shut up already. It was a collective effort.
Shout out to that neighbor for helping out her community!
+ the police. LOL. God Bless.
I' m a grown old man but this made me cry when they found him. Great story..
Ah yes! It's great when men cry! Don't let anyone make you think otherwise
Same
damn u need to watch more anime if this was a sobfest for u
That neighbor is now recognized by all of ewu followers, thank you so much, ma'am! your help was vital into finding that sweet kid!
Dog: *doesn't find the boy*
Nieghbour: *gives info that helps find the boy*
Everyone: THAT DOGS A HERO!
(Dog is still a very good boy and deserves all the treats in the world)
Yeah, the neighbor found the kid 100%
I kind of think it's more of an assist, like when citizens call the police about a suspect in the area and the police arrest the perp. It doesn't mean the citizens personally arrested the suspect. 😂
But fr that neighbor definitely deserves a big thank you.
I'd definitely bring them food every holiday as a thank you.
Quite a few things i don't understand about that 🤔
No fence? Didn't go look yourself immediately? Neighbor heard child crying in the woods, did nothing? Weird
@@australien6611probably thought mom was with him bc who tf leaves a 3yo outside alone in Florida
@@australien6611 its not her kid bro, and she didnt do nothing. this all happened in a short time span. she heard crying and went to tell the police that were walking all over. its not that deep.
I once lost my son, who was 3, in a mall, specifically the food court. I found a mall security man and was describing what my son looked like. I remember staring at his shoes telling him what color my son’s shirt was and I thought I was going to throw up. I can’t even describe the feeling of dread that had consumed my entire body. A few minutes later we found him and I just lost it….
I worked at a department store and we had a missing child once. She turned out to just be hiding under a table in a different area, and the way the mom just broke down when they were reunited. I think she'd only been gone like 3 minutes! But I totally get it, I mean we were close to the store entrance so I'm sure the mom was terrified of the worst.
I always keep an eye on other peoples kids just for this reason! You never know!!
@@jennah2970 definitely takes a village to protect our kids
I've seen a ton of comments of people talking about watching a kid better. These people are not parents, themselves. Kids are extremely curious and 10 seconds is all it takes for them to wander off somewhere. It isn't bad parenting when a kid disappears into thin air sometimes.
Now I'm gonna see if I can put a tracker on my kids tablets!
Hearing this big manly officer talk baby talk to Midnight makes me so happy haha hims such a big boy!
Hearing the officers talking to the police dogs in goofy voices is always delightful! Especially when the dogs have really serious names.
The high pitch voice praise is kinda like telling your dog good good!! 😊😊
Yes!!! It was so cute!! It made my heart super happy
The way the officer talked to Midnight was adorable and you know that pupper was serious about his job. We don’t play here homies. Get that money!
Loved that too! Good job, bubbas!!! lol
The excitement of the neighbors and the officers when the boy was found was pure joy! Job well done!
The moms flat affect made her look like a psychopath
Mom was like, oh they found him? But let me finish my story first.
@@SteveJobIessthat was so bizarre.
@@SteveJobIess She seemed so bummed! She thought he was engaging with her dumb story about her friend. The neighbour was thrilled and gave her a full hug, to which she allowed it, but kept her arms in front of her so did not return the hug. What a strange reaction to your toddler son being found.
I noticed that too. Very very bizarre behavior from this woman.
@paulinegallagher7821
No three year old knows to stay out of the woods.
Yep, parental mistake
she's really worried about looking like a bad parent to the officers but there's no way she can't look bad here
The fact that he didn’t let that tablet go says a lot, kids don’t play with their tablet
Your just wrong. He definitely knows not to go out there when moms around. Just bc he's 3 dosnt mean he's stupid you clearly don't have little kids lol
That’s the whole point though. Even if the kid knows or doesn’t, they should never be left unattended.
The neighbor is a hero and the goodest boy Midnight is a hero! Midnight deserves all the belly rubs, treats, and toys!
You didn't watch the video did you? Midnight is a good dog but he absolutely did not find that child. The truth matters.
@@LaceyR_FreeEricBrandtok negativ nancy
@@jacquelinese1787 😆Ok, the truth is negative. Got it 👍
@@LaceyR_FreeEricBrandt the truth is he still found him. With some help 😝
@@jacquelinese1787 - That he did! 🤗
What a great neighbor!! She definitely saved that child’s life.
Enjoyed a body cam video with a happy ending too
Without that neighbor’s tip, who knows what could have happened. They deserve just as much recognition as the police do here.
It warms my heart to see how great all the police officers acted when he was found. I know it was scary for mom and child but cops really need to feel like they are doing something meaningful.
They seemed more relieved, honestly.
“These are things we’re going to remember our whole career”… gave me chills ❤
"He has his tablet with him" "he's only three" yeah.. outstanding parenting right there.
@@MrNinjaman63they’re a millennial and gen alpha. Maybe instead of making fun of a whole generation go back to kindergarten.

@@MrNinjaman63 dude what? 💀💀
@@AmyRaa30 sorry your parents were a phone
Kid going missing can happen to anyone at any time no matter how good a parent you are, but yeah I'm not sure giving a tablet to a 3yo is the best idea. Although if it had mobile data it could've at least been GPS tracked.
That neighbor was a real hero, her information absolutely led to little Kayden being found by Midnight. Huge props to everyone involved, it's nice to see a video with fully competent people and everyone did the right thing to get the best end result.
that neighbor that helped and gave information deserves to be recognized just as much as the rest of them that helped in this search
in what way? who wouldn't say something if they head a kid crying?
@@srt4b you would think anyone would say something, especially about a kid missing
If you give your kid a tablet, make sure you have it linked to your phone so you can track it. All three of my kids have devices that I can track whenever I need. Even if the location is off.
No need to, always have your kids right beside you at all times until they are old enough to understand fully their surroundings
@@AyeYoCalbut kids being kids, are gonna find a way to run off
@@AyeYoCal In an ideal world, yes. However, kids are able to sneak off very quickly. As evidenced in this video.
@@l0Ash0l Exactly, that's why they should have fenced off the wooded area before leaving her kid alone.
Creepy.
Never in my life been happier to hear a child cry.
Also, midnight is the goodest boy
Props on clearing the house. Several times we found missing kids in the home and each time the adults thought we were crazy for looking
Spent 45 minutes helping look for my friend's kid in their neighborhood - turns out kiddo was hiding under mom and dad's bed and just didn't come out while we were calling his name. I could never handle being a parent and having to deal with that terror.
My grandma used to always tell the story of the time when she couldn't find my uncle and called the cops to report him missing. The cops didn't search the house at first and were looking elsewhere... About two hours later he woke up from his nap in a somewhat hidden alcove in the house and walked downstairs asking if he could have a snack. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Quantamtechtonics Kid's have this innate ability to think you're suddenly playing hide and seek with them when they find a weird place to just get away from everything. Happened with my niece a few months ago, last we saw her she was just in the play room minding her own business, after about an hour of silence we started getting worried, an hour of searching inside and outside the house, aswell as around the block while frantically yelling her name we got no response. just as we were about ready to call the police and report her missing she appears out of thin air.
She had tucked herself in amongst all of the clothes in the wardrobe and stayed incredibly still and silent when we were searching the house. This was during her "I want to play hide and seek" phase where she'd essentially play by herself, and we'd generally find her relatively quickly but this one time she finally found herself a damn good hiding spot.
That's exactly where they found my 3-yo, even though I had searched myself. She had climbed to the top bunk of her brother's room and took a nap!!
Stfu, most children are not found in their homes ffs.
This is how an INNOCENT parent reacts! Look, call the cops quick, let them show up, and THEN call other ppl.
honest mistake but easily avoided too
And she was obviously freaking out but trying to stay calm. Some of these people who who are not innocent, it's just ridiculous how they act. Her only real mistake is letting a 3 year old have a tablet, tbh.
💯💯💯
And they stay calm as well
Yeah, take some notes, criminals. Or don’t.
“He knows not to go in the woods” ..Ma’am he’s only a 3yr old, ofc he's still gonna wander off and play far out there , that’s just how kids are
Right. But my daughter at 3 still knew the dangers of things. She is a panicking mom.
why are you so harsh ?
@@misscecity Because sometimes the truth is harsh?
It's harsh because there's alligators and water out there!! Id have deadbolts and locks the kid couldn't reach . That's just crazy . And she wasn't even happy when they found the kid. Almost like she didn't want them to find him .. yes, the truth is harsh ..
@@meganthemomnot really .. she's busy on the phone
I don’t like how the parent cared more about telling her story then them finding him
Probably wanted him dead tbh
Seemed like she had panick to me.
Well the cops were the ones telling her to stay put and not interfere. Plus in her condition she wouldn't have been any help.
Omg I just made the same comment there; it was beyond jarring and weird when she had her story about some friend of hers interrupted with the cop telling her: 'Guess what? we found him!' and she interjected just before that with: 'You know her!' and she seemed disorientated like she was thinking: 'Aw now I cant finish my story about my friend and my attempts to flirt with you because I guess you found my son'. What a bummer, like. Strange woman. Even the neighbour was more relieved and excited than she was; she gave her a full on hug and she kept her body closed.
@@gijoemasters well if my child was missing and they told me they found him alive and well id be hitting my knees in thanks
After the Amber alert we got in Louisiana yesterday, and the news this morning that one of the girls were found dead. It's nice to see an outcome like this.
I got that alert too but hadn't heard the horrible outcome. So sad.
I've been following that and it's horrific! I live in Covington so I'm not far from Loranger.
Thats so sad😢
You just had to spoil this video didnt ya?? You just couldnt wait !!!!
@@adambane1719 Shut up
When the mom asks someone to look into the pool was absolutely gut wrenching, you could hear the panic and fear in her voice
I even knew the outcome but that made my stomach drop.
That's crazy, in my country it's the law to have a fence specifically just for a pool to help stop this very thing from happening.
@@TravisHi_YT Did you not see the fence?
@@uhhello173 And its a child. Fence or not, it's still a possibility, no matter how grim it is.
maybe she should keep an eye on the genius 3 year old who knows not to go out with his tablet.
"We found him"
"Anyways-"
The mothers reaction was off..
One time I walked away from my mom shopping at target. I went to the video game section to play demos they had. Eventually I heard my name being called on the intercom. I started walking to the front and saw my mom with workers and she came up to me crying hysterically. I was like 10-11 years old and thought her reaction was ridiculous I was fine but knew it was out of love. And I was a big kid. This mother's reaction was just odd.
Yeah, weird. So anticlimactic lol. She’s like, thanks….
Right?! I thought I was trippin!
That was so weird to me too! I would've hit the ground screaming and thanking God over and over.
The mums reaction was kind of underwhelming when they said they’d found him, weird how she just went straight back to telling the other story she was telling before they said they found him
That's what I thought!! If they found my kid and just said so I'd fall to the ground in relief
@@KRISTINA-mm1uf Exactly! I’d of lost my train of thought completely!
I found that strange as well!
Doesnt seem like the most intelligent decision to be carrying the blanket with the kids scent on it while theyre out there searching
That’s what I thought. I choose to believe that Midnight would’ve found him single-handedly without them making that silly decision Lol
@@000blocks000 They didn't bring the blanket the first time, Midnight lost the scent so they had to go back to the house and start over. I think they ended up bringing the blanket because of how they would've kept needing to go back and forth every time the scent was lost otherwise
I watch tracking dog videos for deer recovery and yes carrying the scent on the trail is going to confuse the dog. Scent is going to be blowing off that blanket and will smell stronger than the trail does. The extra officers coming on the trail with the dog and his handler were also fouling up the trail. They kept getting ahead of and circling back and spreading out. Should've been just Midnight and the handler searching the immediate area he was last seen on to pick up the trail faster.
Are you trained in sniffer dogs? They are.
@@VioletJoyApparently not very well
“He knows not to go in the woods” lady he is 3
yea, kids don't really start to listen until they are 5 and up.
@@dangermanv6133even then sometimes they get curious….man I say until 9-10 is where they wisen up
When they told her he was found, she didn't seem happy.
She let him change his gender though once he got home.
@@HcKingPin ok trumper
Big thankyou to the neighbor who was not recognized, she was just as much of a blessing that day
The neighbor was really a Heroine!! Along with that beautiful dog and his officer.
The mom couldn’t have been less enthusiastic about getting the news that they found him.
Came here to say this! I was really disappointed in her response 😔 The cop was so excited to tell her the good news. I had to watch that twice
Yeah that's what I was noticing too! Wondered, was I the only one 😔🤔
everyone reacts differently. in her mind there was no way they weren’t going to find him so when she got the news it was expected for her. some people go into denial where their mind convinces them they will be found no matter what it’s a coping mechanism
@@mycrazylife408 idk man i see it different, it seemed like she was just about to give up all hope. Asking them to check the pool next door with a 10 foot fence around it, about to tell the cop the story of her coworker having to bury their own child that wondered off and drowned. She was prob thinking the reason why noone has found her kid was because he was face down at the bottom of a pond, she was strong for most of it but at that very moment when he told her the news she was about to break down, adrenaline was wearing off at this point. Coping was done with and reality was setting in that just like her close friend she will have to bury her own child...
Yes her reaction, even when she physically saw the boy, was extremely underwhelming.
The mom fighting through tears to ask the neighbor to check the pool absolutely broke me. So glad that kiddo was found .
A few years back I was at Walmart and I remember seeing a momma and a toddler. Idk why but I got a clear image of the mom and just as I was walking out after check out I see the little girl walking towards the exit but no momma. I asked her where her mom was and all she could repeat to me was “mama” I found the first employee I could see and informed her that the baby was lost and they announced it on the speakers and mom came forward and you could see the fear and relief in her eyes. She cried and kissed her baby and After she calmed down, she gave me a one of the tightest, most warming hugs I have ever received.
I held my breath the whole time even though I knew they’d found him. The neighbor deserved recognition too
If you have a 3 yr old and have a forest right outside your yard. I think it's smart to put a fence that separates the forest from your yard. This is part of toddler proofing your home. The neighbor pointed to the right direction and Midnight put 100% of himself in searching for that boy. Makes me happy watching good things from cops and finding missing people, and especially seeing their K9s be acknowledged of their hard work and dedication.
I was thinking the same exact thing. And no way in hell would I go in the house for a quick second and leave the child out there by himself. Fenced in or no fense he coming in with me for that quick second. The child is 3 years old that is an age of learning. You gotta watch them extra closely cause if not things like this can happen. I'm glad he was found safe and un harmed. But lord this could have ended badly
Never thought I'd feel so happy to hear a small child cry.
You've obviously never witnessed childbirth then.
@@KaiLucasZachary I said small child, not baby. I thought that would make it clear what I meant. Apparently it was not. Sorry I confused you.
This comment deserves a whole lot of likes!!! 👍
I think the officer was as shocked as me right now with her not reaction when telling her they found her son 😮
She really wanted to finish her story
She was lost in telling her story about how her co-workers toddler died and was probably lost in that thought when he interrupted her.
I came to the comments specifically to see if anyone mentioned how underwhelming her reaction was 😅.
I get that her mind was probably just stressed to the limit by then though.
I wasn’t leaving the comments until I saw someone say this or I posted it myself 😅
I was like, ok she didn’t hear him, he just needs to repeat himself. I felt like a second hand embarrassment for the officer for some reason. That was so cringy.
To the neighbor that was in her back yard and heard a child crying and alerted the police…. Thank you!!! And to Midnight and his K9 Cop a HUGE THANK YOU!! An thank you to the rest of the officers involved with the search. Thanks to the cop who stayed behind to give the Mom emotional support. So happy for a happy ending! Glad the child was unharmed!
How underwhelming was her response to him being found??
That's what we thought. Is that all the gratitude she could show....😶?
😶 ?!
Yes ,doesn't sit right,either does her story
I agree.
People react in different ways.
Ok, but how do you hear your kid gets found and you’re just like, “ok cool… so anyway, as I was saying…”
Right!
Exactly what I was thinking
the same way she is so worried about her kid drowning and going into the woods, and not putting up a fence instead of just hoping the kid wont go there... Im sure shes a good person, but not smart in the least.
I mean that's probably how she copes tbh. Everyone handles stress differently, I'm sure she was elated they found her son.
Oh no she didnt react how you wanted her to terrible
This hit hard. My daughter has Down Syndrome and took off once. Were extremely rural and very close to a major east-west highway. It was 3 hours before she was found hiding in a shed from a stray cat that tried to attack her. Our deputies and community were amazing looking for her. I could feel this moms anxiety. I wanted to hug her.
These officers are actual heroes. They get no praise most of the time and yet, they continue doing their jobs day after day. Thank you officers.
She's being recognized now! ❤ Honestly it was a community effort.
A great success because so many came together. 😊
Dog was like "k I found you so this you is for me now thanks"
Shoutout to the cop gently educating the other cop, "can't have gotten far hes only 3" "youd be surprised" letting him know they need to extend their search
But clearly the boy was only 2 houses down. A 3 year old can't get far in 10 minutes. Cops don't know it all. I mean they had a natcotic dog looking for a child when they should have used the prison dog like the other cop suggested. And I know for a fact a toddler will not get fat in 10 minutes. They wont walk for very long bc they are tiny and theh tire easy especially in the woods. The dog didnt find him the cop made it look like he did cause the dog lost his track twice and his ego was busted when the other cop suggested they use the prison dog that searches for actual humans. And the ego busyed cop handler made it look like the dog found him when the cop found the boy but made it look as if the dog found him cause his ego was busted.
People are not trusting what their eyes show them and it's really annoying.
The video obviously shows the cop spotted the boy (bc of the neighbor) before the dog did.
@@amandafight7627 a 3 year old CAN get far in 10 minutes like hello did you forget why the Harambe tragedy happened. Also look into missing 411, people will look away, turn there heads back after a few minutes, and the toddlers are gone, some were never found and others were found DAYS later, MILES away, each with their own stories as to what happened. Do not speak as if you are in any way an expert on this topic. Prison dogs and K9 officers BOTH are trained to find people, and there's specific sniffer dogs as well for catching scents, different dog breeds are better. The kid ran off into the woods where there's bears, mountain lions, snakes, and crazy people, doesn't matter how long it was. Your weird af
This is definitely a cautionary tale to ALWAYS keep an eye on your child REGARDLESS of how much time your away from them. Even if it’s “2 seconds” as the mother says.
The neighbor who gave the vital information received the best reward: knowing the child was home safe with his family.
Thank you neighbor for your vital role in helping this family find their beloved son. You are the unsung hero!!! God bless you
Our son is everything to me...and my husband (?)...the way she said that was telling. As soon as a kid comes along, you're number 2 at best guys. I get the angst here, and I can't read too much into it I guess, but that stood out.
I know right little kids have very strong lungs 🫁 to use to cry out for help especially when they get lost and away from mom/dad. Poor little baby yes I know that three years of age is considered a toddler but I say baby to show concern and that I care.
Dude if I knew their was a child lost in the woods and heard crying in the woods I’d run back their and fucking find him?!?!? It’s not the fucking Amazon dude.
fr
It's not telling of anything other than she loves her son very much.
Midnight is such a good boy! Great job to all the cops, including Midnight!
The cops totally failed, useless dog, fumbled the search, unnecessary helicopter drowning out the childs cries....
Neighbor literally walks the cops and the useless dog to the area where the boy is at and then the cops give themselves all the awards without ANY mention of the neighbor?? Like WTF???
@@adambane1719I agree that they didn’t mention the neighbor after bringing the child home (in the footage we saw), and they most certainly should’ve. But I don’t agree that they failed, they showed up in groves and had officers going door to door. Their mere presence is prob what got that neighbor to give such information. So nobody failed here, aside from maybe mom taking her eyes off her 3yr old. Which isn’t hard when you’re busy, but I doubt it was less than 20secs like she said. No way a boy travels so far that she can’t find him on her own, in that short amount of time.
@@Anneliesebunny Fair points. Which is quite rare for a female. Well done.
May God Bless the neighbor abundantly for her kindness, concern and great information!
GREAT JOB MIDNIGHT!!!
The neighbors hearing is what found the child
@@davidblackburn7690right, the dog lost the trail twice. the neighbor let them go thru her yard where she heard crying, and the kid was right there. the dog didn't do anything lol
@@pooh_berrybear Then why didn't the neighbor find the kid? Why did it take the dog?
@@profd65 she was an older woman and she found the cops and told them she heard what sounded like crying or cats in the woods behind her house. why would she look when the cops are right there, already looking? you should watch the video again. the cop heard the crying before even entering the woods and the kid was right there. the dog didn't search for or find the kid. the dog failed twice at finding the kid from the kids backyard. that neighbor helped more than the dog. everyone praised the dog when they should have been praising the woman.
@@pooh_berrybear Oh, you're a genius, aren't you? So the kid is lost, the whole police department is out looking for him, but you actually hear the kid, and instead of just going and getting him you waste time going and talking to the cops and give the kid the opportunity to get lost again? No, the lady had no idea where the kid was, or even if she heard the kid. The dog was more important than you're willing to acknowledge.
Every parent hopes they are surrounded by great neighbors like this.
Midnight is the bestest boy. He was exhausted from tracking in the heat but he kept going as best he could. Props to his handler for staying patient with him.
That wonderful neighbour needs recognition. Her attention to sound, even with the helicopter hovering around, made this a happy outcome.
As a parent and grandma, I had chills when i heard Kaden cry. Great job to mom, his handler, the lady neighbor, and the entire Deland police department & Fire Rescue. You're all heroes!! ❤❤❤
@@catgarza4947 I read this comment as the crying started and I also had total body chills.
So grateful these precious people and doggy found him and were recognized! Best regards to the neighbor who heard the boy and reported! ❤️
There’s something sweet about hearing cops talk baby talk to an animal❤
😂
Crazy that she was told they found him and she was like "whatever, anyway I'm not done telling a story"
I actually wondered to myself “wait, did she mishear what he said??” It was definitely a little odd, but her body/mind was probably wayyyy out of wack in this situation so I’m giving her the benefit of the doubt here
I thought the same thing. She was like "oh, so anyway.." that was such a weird reaction. Maybe she was emotionally drained? Idk but it was definitely odd
Maybe she just had to get that fear off of her chest by finishing sharing it with the officer??? Especially now that she knows her son's safe.
Just had to let it all out, possibly.🤷🏽♀️
I was like "WTF?" as well. She must have just been overwhelmed.
@@owls381she said she saw him go down the trail and didn't stop him or follow.
Who would leave their 3 yr old in the yard without supervision? She doesn’t deserve him.
God bless that neighbor who heard something and did something as well as all the people who took time to help find this little boy
"We found your son"
"Yeah so anyway back to my story blahblahblah"
???????
That's not how the conversation went. The cop told her to continue her story.
Sometimes you really have to get your worst fears out there so you can let them go. The officer was kind to let her finish and set the worst case scenario down; I know I wouldn't be able to rest until the child was in my hands and looking at me.
It was kind of weird how he said "guess what" at first and she said herself she'd like to see the boy right in front of him to really make sure he was found lol
Yesss I was looking for this comment!!! What in the world ! ?!
shock does wild things to the human brain
ten cops helping out and a dog getting treats..........but an unrecognized neighbor who ACTUALLY found the kid!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like how the dog got all the honor, but when the bodycams got out you can see how utterly useless it was lol.
For real....that dog literally did NOTHING!! The neighbior basically told them where she heard the crying, and they walked until the heard it. Honoring the dog was stupid. The neighbor was the "hero" in this story!
Cried my eyes out when they found him...as a mum but also on a human level... What an incredible moment. Hope the boy and his mama doing really well!
Thank you neighour! And thank you Midnight!
This is the second time I’ve seen this story, but I love EWU so I watched it again, and I cried again. Happy ending, and a valuable lesson.
So valuable to have caring neighbors. I was so glad to hear crying from that boy. 🙏
So nice to see some good in the world. A good mom, a good kid, good cops and good neighbors. As a 48 father of 2 boys I'm a little choked up. 🙏
Good mom?! Whatttt she left a 3 yr old on his own knowing the woods are wide open there and when the cop said we found him she's all "ok cool" and continued on with her poor me story .... moms a narcissist and didn't gaf her baby was found. Bad mom100%
@@Anfluffab Dude forreal. She was scared of consequences.
No good mom gives their 3 year-old a tablet outside and just leaves them alone. She was careless.
I don't think we have enough information to say if she was a good or bad mom. If what she's saying is true and she took her eyes off him for a 30 seconds, then I'd say that's not an abnormal amount of time for a parent to get distracted by something else. If what she said wasn't true and it was minutes or some other thing happened then we won't know or ever know.
It's debatable whether that weird mom was a good mom.
We don't see enough positive videos like this. Very refreshing and wholesome. My favorite police channel on RUclips
In tears. God bless that dog and the partner we can’t see.
Happy ending! Glad the 3 year old was found safe. Thank you to the ❤neighbour, all the officers and the police dog. ❤❤❤
Hero Neighbor and Hero Cop Hearing.
Exactly
Mom needs to put up a back fence, especially after this. It’s amazing how such young kids can disappear so far, so quickly with no help, on those little legs and through that terrain.
She might be renting
If not for that neighbor, they would not have found him. God sent that neighbor out into the right spot at the right time. ❤
Can we just take a second to acknowledge how ADORABLY this officer speaks to midnight? ❤️ Love it!
A giant hug from a mother to that unsung heroine who helped save that little boy! ❤🎉🤗
