I didn't realize anyone was lost until I saw that the mother and two children were found safe. I'm sure leaving was a hard decision for James Kim, but when desperation sets in, people have a tendency to not act rationally. So we plan to avoid desperation.
Unfortunately, I think James Kim became desperate which led him to make a bad choice and take risks he should have avoided. It's difficult to watch your family going hungry, especially when you hold yourself to blame.
We've all heard the old saying, "When you're lost in the backwoods and find a stream, follow it. It leads to civilization." Total speculation, but when someone leaves a road to follow a creek, they're losing rational thought, that's bad. You are already on a road, that leads to civilization too and it's easier walking.
Hopes and prayers go to the Kim family.
