"I went over there and was like, 'What do you see buddy?' and he pointed and said, 'Feet,'" out of pure innocence. Brittany couldn't see anyone from where she was standing but when got to the little boy's eye level, crouching down, she also saw a pair of feet.

"If you get on his level and look through, you can see some of the broken sticks and that's where she was laying," Brittany panicked wanting to save this person and protect her son at the same time: "I didn't know if I needed to go into fight or flight because I had my little boy out here and the other inside," she added.
