Phenix Wilkerson, the 4-year-old Alabama boy believed to have been lost in the woods for two days, remains hospitalized after being found by volunteer searchers Sunday afternoon.

“Phenix is currently recovering and receiving medical treatment,” according to an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency press release on Monday.

Authorities have not released his condition, but video of him being found showed him to alert, conscious and barefoot.

The boy, who authorities said is non-verbal, was reported missing about 12:30 p.m. Friday in the area of Sid Bush Road in Barbour County’s Clayton community.

His mother, Shyanne Ray, said she had left the family’s camper to go walk over to her mother’s residence and returned a short time later to find her son gone. Earlier reports stated there was someone in the camper with Phenix when his mom left.

ALEA’s Fusion Center issued an Emergency Missing Child Alert on Friday, and multiple searchers – both official and volunteer – turned out to help find Phenix.

He was found about 3:15 p.m. Sunday when volunteer Markeith Williams and others in group were walking near an area where searchers believed they had seen little footprints in field on Saturday.

Williams said Phenix was about 150 yards from that field. He looked up when he heard Williams approaching.

“Everybody just took off running to where he was,’’ Williams said.

Williams said Phenix was wearing the same clothes he was reported to be wearing Friday. He did not appear to be dirty.

“His feet and stuff were pretty clean,’’ Williams said.

He said one searcher put socks on Phenix’s feet, and another a coat. Phenix was given water as one of the searchers held his hand.

An officer eventually carried him to the top of the hill where Phenix was put in an ATV and taken to a waiting ambulance.

Efforts to reach his mother for comment were unsuccessful but Ray posted this on Facebook after Phenix was found:

“My baby has been found and is okay!! We are at the hospital right now, but overall he is ok!! I have no words..i am so thankful for every single person that came out and helped search for my baby. I wish i could hug everyone of yall and all of the law enforcement people too. Thank yall for everything but most of all I thank god for keeping him safe and bringing him home. God is good and he listens. My baby is okay yall!!!”

There has been some criticism on social media that the mother left the boy in the camper. Ray addressed that as well.

“I am a human, and I see everything yall are saying,’’ she wrote. “Idc really but it’s sad yall have nothing better to do. My baby is home and alive.”
