B.C. toddler unharmed after floating 12 kms downstream

A B.C. toddler survived a harrowing ride after he drove his toy truck into a river and was carried 12 kilometres downstream before rescuers caught up with him.

Three-year-old Demetrius Jones disappeared on the weekend from his parents' campsite at the Peace Island Park in Taylor, B.C. near Fort St. John.

The boy, who was not wearing a lifejacket, disappeared Sunday morning at about 7:30 a.m. PT, and was found far downstream more than two hours later after campers and RCMP launched a full-scale search for the boy,

He was eventually spotted by Don Loewen.



Personal Note:\


I see many negative comments here towards the parents. We could all judge and make this into a really nasty scene or we could be grateful that the little boy enjoyed his birthday party rather than having his funeral....


I for one am smiling over this article.

    And I'm quite sure if this had happened at a state run day care you'd be saying the exact same thing... right?
