Rescued California sisters, ages 8 and 5, say they survived by drinking rainwater from leaves and keeping ‘happy thoughts’ about their family
Their rescue was described as a “miracle,” but two girls who were lost in the Northern California forest over the weekend said Monday that they depended on each other to survive and had faith that their daddy was coming to save them.
Leia Carrico, 8, and her 5-year-old sister, Caroline, spoke publicly for the first time, described how they got lost while walking on a deer trail and wandered past a fallen tree on their family’s 80-acre property that their father, Travis Carrico, warned them never to go beyond.
“Leia wanted a little, tiny more adventure. But I wanted more,” Caroline said of how their misadventure Friday afternoon started.
Mom at 42 seconds: "I am going to kill you" 😀
I’m so happy they are safe
Wow thank goodness they where found, But something tells me that the parents are going to have to put trackers on there kids because the oldest looks like she just might do it again. Although i hope not.
if it was the other way around the older sister would be blamed
Bada$s3$!!!!!! Go on with your bad self's. Sure theses tuff son of guns have alot more to tell about there adventure tho.
I tell my kids if you get lost in the woods, you better pick a tree and hug it. "Don't make me run in circles trying to find you. Hug a tree and wait. Wondering off isn't good. So glad those 2 babies are safe. I couldn't imagine what mom and dad were going through. God is good.♡♡
Dude… just of how many creepers they had to avoid
Beats the hell out of learning video games. One of the neighborhood kids was a firebug so of course I gave him a place to play with fire. He had to build a firepit, he couldn't use any volatile liquids, matches or lighters. He eventually built a fire pit where his father burned trash. He could build a fire in the middle of a swamp in knee dep water. No shit.
If my kids were even missing for 5 mins ill panic. I cant imagine what the parents went thru let alone the kids.
My class read about an article at school
So so Lucky and blessed her children came back…!
Awww they’re amazing !!!
Resilience at its best 🙂
Wow they are soooo AMAZING and strong wow
Poor babies. Thank God!
Ummm I’m pretty sure their mom felt being lost in the wilderness was punishment enough……

My mom would’ve gave me an adventurous ass whooping 😂
title is click bate 44 hours isnt two days cmon abc news
This reminds me of that movie Mama
People these days
I’m more worried about the HIV status that popped up before the video started. There’s many more kids going through this with our climate change. In different many countries. Don’t be sheltered
The 5 year old desperately needs speech therapy. The 8 year old desperately needs a diet, and to be smacked into the next the century for the damn attitude after all the fun she had planning an “adventure”, and maybe she’ll get a fragment of an idea what is like scaring her mom out of her fucking mind and wasting emergency resources.
This reminded me of the movie ‘MAMA’ 😂
"Shes wearing her new birthday boots I wouldn't let her wear". It sounds like her mom has ZERO control over her kids lol. That's why they got lost for two days in the forest
Sssooo….did the fire start???
That is a really smart 8 year old
I think they need a good ol’ fashion ass whoopin’ !!!😠
Very smart girls.
My mom would've been happy that we were alive and well and then beat out asses.
Hold up…how far away was this "little more adventure?" I'm just confused how it took 44 hours for them to be found? Like did they go into Narnia or something?
What did they eat or drink ??
Wow smart girls
