News Chopper Finds Missing Boy
/A Florida kid that was sick of school and ran away was found in the woods by WKMG's (Orlando) news chopper.
The 10-year-old student, who attends Saturn Elementary School in Cocoa, disappeared around lunch time, Brevard school officials said.
Several deputies and a sheriff's helicopter were canvassing nearby wooded areas when WKMG's Sky 6 photojournalist David Sprung located the boy from the air, reporting his location to authorities.
"Normally people don't like Mondays ... I now like Mondays," Sprung said. "This has been the absolute best day of my life since I've been doing news."
The boy, who was spotted by Sprung by his orange sweater peeking through the brush, was rescued by deputies and carried on one of the deputy's backs just before 2 p.m.
