A while back, I came out of the cabin about 5AM to drink some hot tea on the porch and found a 3-4 year old boy in bare feet, a diaper, and a t-shirt standing at the bottom of the steps.
Temp was probably 45*F, and we had no idea where he came from.
He wouldn't talk, so we called the sheriff. (1 hour+ response time)
I started walking around the area, and after an hour, I saw a guy walking around obviously looking for something or someone.
He said the boy was his, but seemed totally unconcerned that his kid had wandered off.
"He does this all the time."
The boy was 1/4 mile from the cabin where they were staying.
I was stunned by his attitude.
Keep in mind we have regular visits by mountain lion, bobcats, coyotes, bear, rattlesnakes, and occasionally coral snakes, wolves & badgers.
