A 2 -year -old missing child who used nothing more than a diaper was discovered curled up in a Dittch in the frigids of Michigan’s forests with the help of a police helicopter equipped with a heat search camera, a dramatic video of rescue shows.
The Michigan State Police helicopters located the child from the air around 11:30 pm on Sunday, approximately three hours after having disappeared, just meters from the busy interstate 94 in the municipality of Blackman.
The child was found lying in the fetal position, since the temperatures hovered just above the freezing.
Initially uncertain if the heat signal was the missing child or animal, the officers on the ground were seen in the infrared footage after the lios that are floated from the helicopter that directed them to the figure in the dark.
“We have it,” said one of the seekers triumphantly.
Several officers could be seen comforting the child, who was not publicly identified, since they are expected to arrive an ambulance.
“Although the child was cold, he was alert and conscious,” said the Department of Public Security of Blackman-Leoni in a statement.
The child was last seen watching television in the living room of his family’s house in the municipality of Blackman, about 77 miles west of Detroit, around 8:45 pm on Sunday and his parents denounced him to the authorities an hour later.
The child was urgently taken to the Henry Ford Jackson hospital, where after an evaluation it was determined that he was in good condition.
