Scout's parents: Brennan hid from strangers


The parents of 11-year-old Cub Scout Brennan Hawkins said their
son "continues
to amaze us" after surviving four days alone in the Utah
wilderness. They said
Brennan was taught to stay on the trail if he ever got lost and
also not to talk
to strangers, so "when an ATV or horse came by [searching for
him] he got off
the trail ... when they left, he got back on the trail."

That's the consequence of telling children what to do, but not why.

I see the same behaviour from public servants.

Sylvia.

Good answer.


Also,
Literally thousands of searchers gave of their time to find this kid,
but, god gets the credit from the parents for answering prayers and
creating a miracle.
