Reply to comment by KayakerMel in A 2-year-old boy was lost in the Florida woods for 24 hours. Everyone feared the worst. Hundreds of volunteers came out to look for him. One volunteer came to a fork in a field: right or left? He trusted his gut, went left and soon heard a whimper. It was the little boy, crying but in good health. by ConquerWyoming

Avoidable for sure. A neighbor saw him outside by himself playing with dogs and then he just kept driving away to the gas station. Idk if I see a 2 year old or a 5 year old whatever age playing alone in a front yard I’m gonna sit there for a second until I see an adult come out with them and if that doesn’t happen then go knock on the door to see wtf is up.

I’m so glad he was found safely though.

It’s kind of a fucked up story. He got dropped off to his mother and another person who were both asleep - the person dropping him off didn’t wake anyone up. The mom lied and said he had only been missing for an hour before she called the cops but he had actually been missing for 4 hours before she called. Terrible supervision of a child.

Reply to High-Speed Rail Project Will Create Over 10,000 Jobs in California by gammapsi05

This is the biggest scam since water “rights”

Edit: people seem to not understand how much money had been wasted and obviously funneled through the railway program that California has been trying to launch for 2 decades. It is a rigamarole of bullshit and legislation, where a lot of the wrong people have gotten paid to do NOTHING. Legit, the valley is still the worst commuting in the entire state. Second, my comment about “rights” is actually tongue-in-cheek, because California has some super funky laws about who owns the water and right to water, and it definitely isn’t the people. The responses show that you guys are completely disassociated from the reality that this state does absolute damage to everyone when funding public projects where most of the money ends up going to legislators and other “project managers”. But it’s okay, can’t judge a blind guy for smelling fish and calling it pussy

It's just the writer taking poetic license. Making a choice of which direction to walk in is all you're doing when you're working on a search crew. Hopefully a grid approach has been discussed with a team, but this may have been the work of a lone-wolf amateur seeker.

We had a neighbour that got the whole street looking for her little girl. Turned out she fell asleep behind the couch.

It’s a field in the middle of a forest. So when you enter it, there is a forest to the right and left. He went left and the boy was in that forest area.
