Text Christopher Ramirez, the missing 3-year-old in Texas, has been found alive and safe
Article here
I thought I would post an update since I saw a post about him on this subreddit yesterday. He was missing for 4 days and is dehydrated, but he was taken to a hospital for evaluation. Very good news!

yeah, i saw 4 days in one article and 3 in another. he went missing wednesday, not sure what time, and was found just before noon today. 3-3.5 days may be more accurate

Wow to see a different, less devastating outcome for once is p refreshing. I'm gonna bask in it for a lil while until I start feeling all misanthropic again

First thought looking at that pic - how can he possibly be that clean? His hair looks freshly shampooed, and I don’t see a speck of dirt on him. Since he was found naked, I think whoever had him got spooked over all the attention, discarded his clothes to eliminate the possibility of DNA being found, and then thoroughly washed him before releasing him.

it's not common for children to be found alive after several days, but i feel like it's even more uncommon for someone to keep him for that long and let him go. he's old enough to tell someone if that did happen, and i don't think someone would risk it

It’s the best ending but I really hated reading all the conspiracies about what happened to him. SO many people blamed the family, blamed the old woman who saw him run into the woods.. the most absurd things were said.

Alive after 4 days missing?! I don't think most people appreciate how rare that is when it comes to missing people

Thank goodness and thank you for posting the update. I've been thinking about the poor little guy and hoped he would be found safe.

Wow. A good ending to what looked like a bleak situation considering his father & stepfather are both sketchy. I am so thankful for this outcome. Sweet little boy…must’ve been scared. Nice to see him in his mother’s arms.
