Lost toddler survives for three days
By Tom Baldwin
Wandering boy managed to elude bobcats, coyotes, deep ponds and a police search


EXACTLY how 2½-year-old Kevin Brown survived for 69 hours and 16 minutes on his own around dark woods, tall grass and deep ponds may never be known.

But after vanishing from outside his home in Alvarado, Texas, last week he not only eluded roaming bobcats and coyotes but also the frantic search efforts of rescue helicopters, 40 police officers and 100 volunteers for almost three days.

1. That's great!
These stories usually have a sad ending. It's nice to know that God smiles on us every once in a while.

7. Actually, he is
There was a pic of him & his parents in yesterday's SA paper. I'm so happy he was found. Too many sad stories about kids lately.

8. The local news covered it quite a bit
They even had a scroll on local channels when he was found.

I'm glad that he was found safe.

6. Wow! So happy for this family.
It's good to know things can still have happy endings. Bet they'll be keeping that little guy on a short leash from now on. :)
