But, as the video points out, Ilya's parents reached out to the state police for help. Soon after they called the authorities, informing them of their missing child, 100 police and volunteers joined the search for the 3-year-old boy.
Thankfully, after searching for the young man for nearly three hours, Ilya had been spotted by a helicopter rescue team. The pilot located the young man in a beanfield. The clip details how the crews on the ground and in the air worked with one another. The pilot in the copter directed people on the ground right to the child's location.
Thank the Lord! A potentially devastating disaster had been avoided.
After people on the ground reached the child, they gave the pilot a thumbs up, signaling the young man was OK.
There were no injuries to the child reported. But he had somehow managed to lose his shoes. He was also said to be "soaking wet," according to the video.
