Two Brothers Run Away in Mountains Two Miles From TN Line

Brent and Gabe Cutshall went missing at around 11:30 a.m. Thursday from their home in the Shelton Laurel area of North Carolina, two miles from the Tennessee state line.  Rescue crews say the boys, ages six and 10, ran off soon after being punished for breaking a mirror.

Madison County, North Carolina emergency rescue crews asked for help from the Unicoi County Sheriff’s Department.  The Southside Volunteer Fire Department and Unaka Search and Rescue also joined the search.

After a five hour rescue effort, the six and 10-year-old boys walked out of the woods on their own unharmed.  The older boy, Brent, said he just wanted to live free off of the land, but got scared after being gone for a while.  He said he worried about his parents.

I watched the video without any difficulty whatsoever.

The problem evidently is NOT with the Tri-Cities.com site - a fact of which is what is genuinely ‘typical’.

The older ‘little feller’ certainly seemed mature for his chronological age by the way he spoke during his ‘interview’.  He obviously reflects good upbringing - even in consideration of his inherent streak of independence and everything.

The parents have a right to be very proud of their ‘younguns’.

I click on the video and nothing happens. Typical for this website.
