I just read this on CNN and thought that maybe it will help some people out:
The parents of 11-year-old Cub Scout Brennan Hawkins said today their son "continues to amaze us" after surviving four days alone in the Utah wilderness. They said Brennan was taught to stay on the trail if he ever got lost and also not to talk to strangers, so "when an ATV or horse came by [searching for him] he got off the trail ... when they left, he got back on the trail.
that surprises me also.
A reminder to anyone that has children or may have children....you may need to throw in a "CLAUSE" that allows your children to talk to strangers when they are lost in the woods for four days, starving, and dehydrated. Especially when they are yelling your name.
In regards to the line: when an ATV or horse came by [searching for him] he got off the trail ...... I hope that this means that more than one person came around looking for him....because if he cannot tell the difference between an ATV and a horse he is going to have problems later in life.
These are things that you do not think about when you are raising children....but maybe something to think about.
