A three-year-old Texas boy who was missing for four days has been found alive and reunited with his mother in an emotional reunion.
Christopher Ramirez was found alive in a wooded area on Saturday and seemed to be in good health, authorities said.
Ramirez was found in a wooded area about five miles from his home following a tip from a member of the public and was taken to a hospital for evaluation, according to Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell.
It’s not yet clear how the child survived after he wandered off while playing with a family dog in the yard of his family’s home in southeastern Texas.
‘He’s drinking lots of water, but he’s good,’ Sowell said. ‘He’s alive, laughing, cutting up, crying. His mom is crying. He’s in good shape.’

Christopher Ramirez, aged three, who was missing for four days was found alive in a wooded area on Saturday and seemed to be in good health
The child disappeared Wednesday afternoon from his yard near Plantersville, about 60 miles northwest of Houston.
His disappearance set off a massive search effort, including local law enforcement, the FBI and EquuSearch
He was found not far from where authorities had been searching, Sowell said.
‘Hardly no clues to go on, we were running on prayers, four-wheel drive and overdrive to be honest with you because we had nothing else,’ Sowell said. ‘We had nothing else.’
On Thursday, the boy’s mother, Araceli Nunez, said she believed her son was kidnapped and she pleaded for his safe return.
The sheriff said there was no sign of foul play or an abduction but that investigators had been looking at all possibilities and had even drained nearby ponds in the search for clues.
