Reply to comment by CheesyLala 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

That 2-year-old boy's name?

The whole article reads like it was written by a high schooler on their first internship.

When we moved into our new house several years ago my son who at the time was 3/4 vanished in the morning. I wake up early for work and found the front door wide open and couldn’t find my son anywhere. I’m outside in a panic looking for him and what feels like an eternity searching eventually my neighbor flags me down and informs me he’s with her. Apparently he wanted to play basketball with the neighbors kids.

If you're doing search and rescue you don't trust your gut. You search everywhere systematically.

And you also don't continue searching after you find the person (or their corpse).

People getting shitty would be actually being mad at the kids raising the money or the man accepting it. They are mad at the reality of the situation. Just because you don't like when people acknowledge reality when feel good stories like this are posted doesn't mean those people are being shitty.
