It is absolutely true! It happened less than 50 miles from where I live in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The whole state is rejoicing that he is okay, since the day he disappeared and the day after were bitterly cold and the day that he was found started out with torrential downpours. That he came through with only a few scratches is a miracle! Many of us here in Eastern North Carolina believe that the prayers that were offered up around the clock until he was found had a lot to do with the outcome!

I do believe in prayer helping. I don’t believe he was outside for two nights. And for the ‘big dog’ possibility, has anyone in the area said their dog was outside for the two nights the child was missing? No, I don’t have an answer. But what is law enforcement supposed to say? ‘There is evidence the child was kidnapped and we are looking for a perpetrator? No. I am still leaning on the side of the family making the story up and wanting money, but I guess this story has been wrapped up all tidy with a bow and there will be no more discussion. The boy COULD HAVE been stuck in the brambles during the last night and then found, looking like he had been outside for one night in freezing temps and one night during a total downpour.

Since you are close by the event, was it reported whether he had hypothermia after two days outdoors? How was he dressed? I have not heard any reports confirming whether he had hypothermia.

Also, wasn’t he found by someone called it in ... rather than try to render aid ... the caller saying the boy could be found in a thicket? Who was the caller?
