Missouri Deputies Help 11-Year-Old Boy Get Home as Storm Sweeps in

Two Missouri deputies helped an 11-year-old boy make it home safely as a fast-moving storm swept in on July 30, the Clay County Sheriff’s Office said.

Dashcam and bodycam footage posted by the sheriff’s office shows deputies spotting the child with his bike on the side of the road. The child can be heard telling the deputies that he did not know that there was going to be a storm.
