In Florida, deputies heroically saved a 5-year-old autistic girl lost in a swamp.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office launched a rescue on February 26, 2024. They found the girl using a thermal camera. The rescue video shows deputies gently encouraging her, saying, “Come here, sweetie. Come on, sweetheart.” Another clip shows a deputy comforting her: “Hi, baby girl. Let’s get you out of the water.”

Sheriff Chad Chronister praised his team: “Their quick action saved the day, turning [a] potential tragedy into a hopeful reunion.” This act showcases the importance of community and vigilance.

The girl’s parents were home when she wandered off. No charges were filed.

Verse of the Day

“that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”

2 Corinthians 5:19-20
