'My mother is dead': rescuers share first words of children who survived in Amazon jungle

[@mariereddy4259]

The eldest child utterance " am hungry" made me think she was depriving herself so her siblings could eat more. Very caring big sister.

[@uniwemusic2929]

Yes‼️‼️‼️❤️‍🩹💔

[@veroniquewill3546]

I immediately thought the same. I am just seeing this video

[@khawmtiti4460]

The love and care for her siblings are just remarkable

[@NourKLI]

She even knew what they could and couldn’t eat out there.

[@CallieRaj]

I just watched the documentary, Netflix recently released and I cried hearing her story on what happened and what she had to go through to protect her siblings. She’s such a brave girl!!

[@andyjulia]

I can only imagine what those children went through for 40 days. So thankful they were found.

[@selvamthiagarajan8152]

A story of inspiration to everyone who struggles to survive in this world. If the 4 young children (including a 11 month old) can survive in a jungle with no food and water, what excuses do the rest of us have?

[@uniwemusic2929]

Truly amazing‼️‼️. I’m glad that they listened to the mother before her body past on. 🕊️🙏🏾

[@sbdreamin]

40 days is a very long time to be off in a jungle for anyone.

The first thing a 9yr old boy said was "My Mother is dead". They really went through alot in this age.

[@khisra9938]

The boy was for, and the girls were 13 , 9 and 11months

[@duermedespierto]

The children have an amazing will to live. The oldest is a true hero...she probably sacrificed eating to feed her little brothers and sisters. I am so happy they were found. The children are selient

[@mjremy2605]

RESILIENT, not SELIENT. No such word.

[@debbiefox6846]

​@@mjremy2605 please be polite and have some respect. Everyone knew what they meant. Couldn't you figure that out yourself? English is not always someone's first language. People also make typos. I know my phone messes up & I am not perfect. Maybe think before you type because it's really easy to be a Big Cowboy behind the Keyboard.

[@pariosd3]

Made me cry... Thanks to these rescuers who never gave up and the amazing kids who were so strong and didn't give up either ❤

[@godbyone]

Omg imagine if they gave up

[@eileenarran]

This is the kind of story the world needed. These children, the rescuers, the whole nation of Colombia ... it's nothing short of incredible. This story pierced the hearts of everyone all over the world and in a very wonderful, loving way.

[@peggymcfarlaneBB]

We ARE family!! How powerful. Blessings for the work well done!!

[@jworth7203]

What amazing men this rescuers are. To not only be concerned with the children’s physical health but also to know that they needed to be held and comforted. What an amazing lovely outcome.

[@Steph_30.]

This rescuers deserved an award.Thank you for your serving in your country and rescuing the children.

[@francoismartin4405]

My daughter’s first name is Lesley (in her early twenties). She has not missed any single news related to this event since the kids were found and the name of Lesley (the older sister) came up. Lesley did an incredible job looking after her siblings. By her first words « I am hungry » you can tell the amount of sacrifices she endured to ensure the younger ones are well.

[@joellenpaull3294]

This makes me cry. What strong brave children.

[@bumblebee5990]

That is the most beautiful thing, how completely right to acknowledge trauma, providing immediate safety by connecting family, and then, there in the spot of trauma and loss they do a ceremony to leave those burdens there. How deeply compassionate, healing and profoundly human if only all people where this wise and well.

[@bernadette573]

Yes, they did exactly what was needed. ♥

[@beatpirate8]

bless these workers for finding these children with their expert knowledge of the forest never giving up

[@dwyerjones4542]

I am so sorry the children lost their mother. She and their grandmother's instruction saved their lives.

[@hometruths9411]

As with the boys trapped in the cave in Thailand we've seen here the strong connection the indigenous population have with their ancestral spirit world and Mother Earth. We can learn so much from these people.

[@Brinta3]

If those boys had such a strong connection to Mother Earth, why did they let themselves be surprised by the flooding?

[@againstthegraingolf301]

@@Brinta3they are still kids. This was an amazing rescue as was that in the cave.

[@Brinta3]

@@againstthegraingolf301 I agree that they were both amazing stories of survival and rescue. I was commenting on that BS sentence “strong connection with their ancestral spirit and Mother Earth.” These kids in the rainforest learnt from their family how to survive in that cruel nature. It’s all about practical skills, and certainly nothing to do with anything supernatural. Nature (Mother Earth?) wants to poison, wound, disease, infest, and eat you.

[@DavidGonzalez-ii7bl]

and we need to learn

[@rajr1032]

Hope they get over this huge trauma and loss of their beloved mother. Peace and healing!

[@korth26]

This story is unbelievable, the resilience from the kids, but also the human quality of these resquers. If you are a native Spanish speaker like me, you can tell that since they are indigenous, Spanish is not their natural language and they speak it odd, which makes it more memorable to me, it adds meaning and quality to each of their heroic words, just as a curiosity.

[@donotsupportterroristgroups]

Their Spanish was perfect, they have a different accent of what you may be familiar with.

[@korth26]

@@donotsupportterroristgroups no dude, I know regular colombian is just a different accent. But if you ever travel latin american and indigenous communities like i did in mexico, you get to know that they do speak it as second language, which is awesome in itself. so this is the case, trust me. at the end, when explaining how they did the little ritual, he messes the word even more. this is not to remark nothing negative, on the contrary.

[@romanmaster3217]

@@donotsupportterroristgroups I agree with you...their Spanish is perfect. I don't see as to why we have to see flaws in this situation.

[@korth26]

@@romanmaster3217 i see their dominion of two languages not as a flaw but the opposite. i like how they speak as i elaborated in my previous comment.
