VIDEO: Officer rejoices “Lord, I love you, thank you!” after finding missing Georgia toddler

A blessing of an ending to a story that could have been tragic. These officers saved the day!

Body camera footage shows Georgia police officers rejoicing as they located a missing toddler Wednesday afternoon.

A two-year-old little girl was reported missing to the Port Wentworth Police Department and members of the neighboring Savannah Police recruits found the toddler hours later. Cadets Robert Parker, Luis Esquina, and Ernest Mobley say their team searched for about two hours before finding the toddler crying in the woods, according to WREG.

The video shows officers running toward a noise they believed to be a child crying out. The heavily wooded area where two-year-old Kamiyah Vicks was found was dense and close to a pond.

“The child has been located. Lord I love you, thank you!,” one of the officers is heard saying as another swooped up the two-year-old to console her.

While reporting back to their supervisors at search headquarters, officers are seen offering water to the child, who quickly accepted. The child was taken to the hospital for evaluation.

A cheerful story ending for all!
