The parents of a four-year-old B.C. boy who spent more than 30 hours alone in the wilderness say they can't begin to thank the emergency crews and volunteers who banded together to bring their son home safely.

Over the weekend, Tykao Hazard and Kris Benoit spent more than 30 agonizing hours wondering what would become of their son George. The little boy disappeared from their van on Saturday while Hazard and a friend were picking berries near Lions Lake, outside the small northern community of Mackenzie.

"I saw the helicopter coming in from outside town," said Benoit. "I had this overwhelming sensation of calmness…I knew right then and there our boy was home." Mackenzie, which has a population of about 3,700, has fallen on hard times with mills closing and people losing their jobs according to Mayor Joan Atkinson.

Again, I just want to say fuck these people. They are low life scum. Have some self respect, honor and cherish your children, and let people raise your child who will.

Shame on these people. The mom left him unattended in a hot van, which he escaped from. He could have lost his life. I'm so over neglectful parents getting hall passes. Anything for a GoFundMe me, right?

Yo thanks to all the search and rescue team they found the child. Bless and energy to all.

Ottawa drag queen story time disrupted by anti-LGBTQ protestorOn the eve of Ottawa’s Pride celebrations, a man disrupted a drag queen story time event for children to hurl vitriol at parents and organizers. To be 'anti-LGBTQ' is to be anti-individuality. Every 'individual' is born as a genetically-different entity. Just as no 2 snowflakes are alike, no 2 individuals are genetically 'identical.' But it seems any tiny difference can lead to hate! So sad. Grooming of children by adults should never be encouraged. This is a common sense issue, not a religious one. Anti-sexualization of children people should be happy
