Reply to comment by Chappietime 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
We had a neighbour that got the whole street looking for her little girl. Turned out she fell asleep behind the couch.
When my youngest was like 2 1/2 I put him down for a nap. I checked on him like an hour later and he wasn't there.
I went ask over the house yelling and screaming. It's not like he could have left the house on his own because the front door is bolted, the sliding glass door has a blocker thing up high and the garage door is noisy as hell.
We had looked all around the house for 20 minutes and my wife was literally on the phone with 911 when I found him.
He had crawled under his bed, created a wall of toys around him then fell asleep.
I didn't see him when I looked under the bed because of the toys.
He definitely heard me screaming for him but he stayed quiet because he thought I was mad or something.
Me looking at my 2 year old and taking notes
Tell them about the monsters that inhabit under their bed to avoid a similar situation. Or take away their bed. And toys. For their own safety, of course.
You bad! Lol
You have no kids, right?
No joke the best thing I did for my toddler’s safety is get an indoor camera with motion detection pointed at their door while they are napping and at night. You can tell when they’re up and which direction they went (toward kitchen, toward front door, whatever) when they left their room.
My mother tells a story about me that goes something like this:
When I was about your son's age, I apparently decided one day that I was tired and wanted a quiet place to nap, so I climbed into the lazy Susan cabinet with a pillow and blanket and slept in there.
Apparently my mother was looking for me for a solid couple hours because I'd tucked myself in the back corner.
I don't remember this happening but I can still bet I was comfy xD
Honestly all these situations remind me about how useful it is to have a ring camera in the house, if you lose a item you just had in your hands or a person you can scroll through hours of footage on your phone for the last location of said person or item. It helps people like me with scatter brain. Just dont become addicted to it and check constantly on stuff you shouldnt know about.
Ugh these comments remind me of a case from Mexico in which a girl couldn't be located...she was eventually found at the foot of her bed :(
Death of Paulette Gebara Farah
>Paulette Gebara Farah was a four year old disabled Mexican girl who disappeared, and was subsequently found dead under suspicious circumstances. She went missing from her bedroom on March 22, 2010, in the municipality of Huixquilucan de Degollado, Mexico. Upon her disappearance, her family began a search campaign utilizing television, advertisements, and social media. Paulette's body was found in her own room wrapped in sheets between the mattress and the foot of the bed, the same room where her mother had given interviews.

Oh that's a sad story
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.
Our street is crawling with kids all summer, this happens weekly. But the kids do a good job keeping everyone informed, and the all parents have a group text.
My brother did this too!
My sister fell asleep at the neighbor’s house once. Ran all around outside looking for her until neighbor was like, oh yeah she came over and fell asleep!
I'm starting to think people should put airtags on little kids
Airtags only work if an apple phone is close enough to detect it, which is about 33 feet, so wouldn't be as helpful as you'd think.
Maybe not for out in the wild, but if you're in the middle of a city it would.
