It blows my mind that mom just decided to leave her 5 year-old child alone all because he was 'tired' and 'didn't want to go farther'.
I'm not a parent, so I'm sure I don't really get it...but can't you just pick the kid up and tell them they don't have a choice? Vivid memories of my mom dragging my whining ass through various stores and parks.
I hope the little boy is found safe promptly.
This was definitely my first thought. Agh, yikes.
Don't people know to stay out of the forest?

Missing 5-year-old boy found dead in Alaska after mom left him on hike to get help
https://nypost.com/2020/03/30/missin...e-to-get-help/
The body of a 5-year-old boy was found in Alaskan woodland three days after his mother left him to get help after they got lost on a hike, according to authorities.
Jaxson Brown and his mom Jennifer Treat, 36, got lost last Wednesday in Lunch Creek Trail close to their home in Ketchikan after they “became disoriented and lost the trail,” Alaska State Troopers said.
When the youngster grew too tired to continue looking for aid, the mom “left Jaxson to seek help on her own,” the release says.
“In her rush to find help, Treat reportedly tripped on a root and significantly injured her leg. Treat was found the following day and search and rescue efforts immediately began for Jaxson,” the troopers said.
After helicopters aided searchers on the ground, the youngster’s body was finally found Saturday afternoon, the troopers said. The cause of death has yet to be released.
Five-Year-Old Boy Dies on Hiking Trail After Lost Mom Leaves Him Alone to Find Help

According to Trooper Sgt. Grant Miller, while the boy had been on the trail before, "we are not certain how far up the trail he's been. He has never been by himself.”
It wasn't until 2:45 p.m. on Saturday that Jaxson's body was found, around 1,000ft from the trail, and further up from where his mother was rescued.
An autopsy will determine the cause of death; the weather -- with rain, mist and fog, and overnight temperatures plummeting to mid 30s during the time he was missing -- may have been a factor.
The death is not being treated as suspicious.
