California boy, 4, found safe after vanishing from campground, spending night in wilderness

A 4-year-old California boy who vanished from a campground in the Fresno area has been found safe after spending 22 hours in the wilderness, police say. 

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office has released a video showing Christian Ramirez being brought to safety by the Tulare County Search and Rescue Team following his disappearance last Thursday from the Rancheria Campground near Huntington Lake. 

"We're going to get you back to your family," one rescuer is heard telling the child while carrying him through the woods. 

Authorities say Ramirez was reported missing from the campground shortly before 11 a.m. Thursday and was discovered on Friday around 8 a.m. local time.
