your first name was

I'm kayla me I think we spoke to you earlier

this morning

So um first of all we're just so thankful to

know that he's safe

So Billy is safe

He's not hurt in any way and that's a blessing

in itself

I could be so much happier with outcome and you

know he's just getting checked out of the hospital right

now just to make sure just to be safe on

the safe side

But Bentley was really smart resourceful at his age and

comes from his parents

I know but I'm just very thankful for everybody involved

and helped out

I couldn't thank y'all because this could have turned out

really bad and it didn't and he's okay and I'm

very thankful for that

But all unfortunate everybody step all night including his two

older sisters spent all night with him looking for him

Do you want to say a few words Yeah I'm

glad that I was one of the first few people

with the guys that found him

I took off running when they were circling and jumping

fences

He was found safe and sound

He he's resourceful

He got shelter he got something to eat and the

good thing is he safe and the community of window

how they come together and everything in the world that

we live in now with everything going on

That's amazing

I can't thank everybody enough and He's safe

He's sound and I just wanna tell everybody thank you

because that's awesome because it could have been a whole

different way most of times

You see these on movies like lifetime movies and stuff

there's a different type of ending and I'm just happy

with the way he was excited jumped about 10 ft

in my arms and that's the best feeling I could

feel to where I found my son and he's all

right

He's resourceful

He found an RV to stay in for shelter and

it had power so he stayed warm

He didn't get wet all night and he found a

cat that he fell in love with

That we might end up taking home

You know the question that the community has and hopefully

you can answer this for us is why would he

not get on the bus and leave and flee the

million dollar question

But there could be multiple reasons nine year old that's

what we're still trying to let him get him checked

out by the E

M

S

Make sure he's alright physically

The main goal is that he's okay

We can talk to him to see what was actually

going on with him and what he was thinking to

see what we can do to one thing at a

time one thing at a time for him we don't

want to bombard him

You know he's a

D

H

D

Combined so you can't you can't bombard somebody like that

with questions

You said he got something to tell me about that

power and R

B

He was resourceful

He even learned about hypothermia in a survival book that

we gave him

You know so

you mentioned that he has A

D

H

D

You know have you had any issues with impact him

in any way when it comes to stuff like this

school really

Um But no no other issues

Um But even now that you know he's on the

proper medication that actually helps him you know it's that's

all that matters to you know he's good

We got him on a regimen that works for Bentley

He was so happy he was so happy

He was the best feeling in the world

He looked he looked at me and he smiled and

he was like I knew he was gonna find me

I was like son I ain't been asleep I ain't

been home I ain't been to work

I couldn't just go nowhere and just sit around with

my son out there

That's not the type of dad I am

I can't do that and wait for a phone call
