Don't know the facts. But the wife said the news last night said the boy moved a chair to a door, and climbed up and unlocked the door. It only takes a few seconds to do that, so don't place blame please. Our prayers were answered! What a trooper indeed! Playin' in the creek and making mud pies! Gotta love him! Thank God this didn't happen in July.

So very happy to hear this little boy was found. I worried and prayed for him and his family yesterday when I first saw the story. No stones need to be thrown, we don't know the full circumstances. I have children and I pay attention to them too, but it literally takes seconds for a child to wander off. I know good people who have had similar things happen. My son wandered off in Walmart at about that age. That doesn't make me a bad parent, just a human who errors.

@prayerchain - I grew up in Stone County as well. I don't get back as often as I would like, but the folks there are real "salt of the earth" kind of people. @shameless - You need to change your screen name to Heartless.

WOW. What a great ending. He is a heck of a trooper. Lost for 30 hours and was found doing what kids do, playing in a creek. I am so glad he was found safe. Hopefully it wont happen again.
