YatharthPaying It Forward
When Megan Kessler, heard the news about Kaydon’s disappearance, she used her own resourcefulness, to provide the volunteers with food and water. We are not among the first 100 volunteers who could search, so we did what we could, we brought coffee and chili and basic supplies that were of help to the search team.
Going Viral
It was made sure that every resource that could get them Kaydon to the earliest was put to use. The Tennessee Endangered Child Alert went to Facebook and posted a picture of Kaydon which was further shared by WBIR Channel 10, The post included Kaydon leach’s description and details of what had happened. More than 2000 people shared the post that sent out a clear message, everyone banded together to find Kaydon as soon as possible.
Running Out of Time
Kaydon was nowhere to be found, he was out somewhere, and what awaited was a dark and cold night. There was a possibility that Kaydon might suffer from respiratory infections as he didn’t have any warm clothes on that could be lethal for a boy as young as Kaydon, the situation demanded quick actions and results.
Pushing On
The search was still on and the rescue teams targeted a radius of half a mile from Kaydon’s home. The search teams had to wait until the morning to expand their search into the mountainous area. It was natural for Kaydon’s parents to be worried, they were blaming themselves for allowing him to play outdoors. It was only a matter of time before they would find Kaydon, safe and accompanied.
A Dedicated Community
They were determined to find Kaydon, the rescue teams were working day in and day out. Not only that, the Blount County community would help by disseminating eatables and water bottles to the rescuers. They knew that a 6-year-old wouldn’t have gone far away, and they were not going to rest until they find Kaydon.
A Daylight Mission
It had now been hours and Kaydon’s parents’ worry was growing with time, they were thinking of the problems their little son was; starving, frightened and lonely. Finding a 6-year-old boy in the woods was not a walk in the park, but it was much easier to search for Kaydon during the day. The search teams contemplated and came up with new ideas, praying that Kaydon was okay.
