Missing children. You see that on the news and your heart stops, especially for all the parents out there. The truth of the matter is that parents are always trying to keep an eye on their kids. and they should be. Sometimes they can be tricky though and get away, and for various reasons of course.
That s why were are giving a BIG shout out to New York State Trooper Brian Hotchkiss. He, along with serval other Troopers, raced to search for a missing girl in South Bristol last weekend. The sun was going down. They were rushing to find her and, thankfully, they did.
A trooper for six years and longer in law enforcement, he knew missing-child cases could end badly.
“I’ve seen these things go really bad,” said Hotchkiss, who was about to follow up on an assignment last Saturday when the report of a missing child came in at the troopers barracks in Farmington.
With the missing child taking precedence, Hotchkiss and another trooper headed to South Bristol, where the child was reported missing from her home on County Road 33.
The time was 5:18 p.m. when the 911 center received a call that the toddler had wandered from her home, said Ontario County Sheriff Kevin Henderson, whose agency took the lead in the search that drew law enforcement from across the region.
