Kids Found After Being Lost in Woods for 14 Hours

Three kids wandered off the path in the Sam Houston National Forest in Texas, triggering a search in the dense woods. After 14 hours overnight, the kids were found by a volunteer rescuer. The kids, aged 6 and 7, followed the grownups out of the woods. Sergeant Jason Smith tried to keep the kids’ spirits up as he led them on a 20-minute excursion to the edge of the forest. “You want cheeseburgers?” he asked the kids, who said they had no food or water the whole time they were lost — and they did. #InsideEdition

Can we just appreciate how that police man was so frickin nice?!

"I'm trying my best, " is probably the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Especially since they were probably traumatized during that ordeal, and genuinely trying their best.

Funny how most kids would be terrified and probably crying, and these kids attitudes was cheeseburgers. Gotta respect them for high morale at such a time

They don’t sound like kids who were lost in the woods overnight at all. Brave kids

[ChillFrost]

The volunteer who found the 3 kids REALLY deserves to be acknowledged.
HUGE RESPECT for the volunteer who persevered and located them!

You can hear the relief in his voice that they found 3 totally okay kids and not the ending these stories usually get.

[mymak-jqhy]

I can’t imagine how relieved their parents were after finding them.

I was expecting the kids to be crying and panicking but these kids had a strong composure. Very strong kids for their ages and well done to remain calm.

[MrWhosaywat]

the fact that they weren’t crying at all 😱 if i was one of them i would totally be crying

[cprogrammerguy]

Hats off to the kids braving the woods for 14 hours, they really deserve more than cheese burgers at this point.

[heatherkaye]

"Well, I'm trying my best!" Was the sweetest thing. He sounded so chipper after such potential trauma.

[Youheardwhat]

The fact that the kids were so happy and In a good mood was even better. They weren’t panicked.

[Taekwon.]

I thought they would've came out crying & petrified, these kids came out wanting burgers King & a cold drink.

It's so sweet seeing the police interacting with kids like that. We need more officers like this guy! How did they end up in the woods alone? That's what I'm wondering.

I once got lost at Disney world when I was kid. While my family was losing their minds especially my mom. I was starting to accept the fact that this is my home now and I was 1000% ok with it…well my dream was short lived as an employee found me.

This officer sure was sweet & encouraging. What a wonderful way to handle a scary situation for those poor children.
