SAN BERNARDINO MOUNTAINS - Authorities were searching Saturday evening for a 9-year-old boy who disappeared in the morning from a mountain campground.
David Gonzales of Lake Elsinore was reported missing shortly after 8 a.m. after he went to fetch cookies from a van near his family's campsite at Hanna Flat campground, said U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Tricia Abbas.
"It wasn't very far away. ... Adults were in viewing distance from where he was last seen," Abbas said by phone.
The boy arrived at the campground Friday afternoon with his parents, Jose and Rosenda Gonzales, and two other families from their church, Abbas said. It was the second time the family had camped at Hanna Flat.
Hanna Flat, a family-oriented campground and favorite among off-roaders, is about two miles from Highway 38 along Rim of the World Drive near Fawnskin, a small community on the north side of Big Bear Lake.

Bones may indicate boy killed by cougar
Associated Press — June 3, 2005
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — The discovery of a child's skull and bones near a Big Bear area campground could shed light on whether a cougar killed a 9-year-old boy who disappeared last July from the same campground, authorities said.

Then the deaths started in CA, not one in Oregon yet, because after 1993 OR and CA made it illegal to hunt them with dogs. The only way to successfully hunt them. So now the kittens are getting more and more used to humans, and are getting more bold. The male's domain is a 50 mile radius, the female, about 30 miles. With no predator, man, they will become more abundant, on the west coast at least, and more domestic animals, dogs, cats, sheep, cows will die. Then people will be attacked more and more.
Fish and Wildlife even made it illegal for the farmer/rancher to kill the Cougar when it has attacked and killed their sheep or calves, you have to prove which cougar it was then you can get a permit to hunt it with dogs.
Someone in my family has seen one at least every other year for the last 13 years. They hunt on my property, but are still very cautious. We saw a carcass of a deer last month about 20 feet from our driveway.
you shoot one round here, and there's even the SLIGHTEST chance somebody will find out, you damn well better have teeth/claw marks on you proving it attacked you when you shot it else you'll be sitting in jail. in any other situation, you best bury it deep and Never, EVER, tell anybody... or else see above.
