A father who was praised back in October for saving his three children from freezing conditions after getting lost on a hike has now been charged with child abuse. Micah Smith may have heroically saved the lives of his young children in the Utah wilderness but what happened during their hike paints a picture that’s the opposite of a hero.
Earlier this year, Smith took his three children, his 8-year-old daughter, 4-year-old son, and his 2-year-old son, on a hike in Utah’s Big Cottonwood Canyon. Unfortunately for the family their trip went terribly wrong when they found themselves caught in a storm.
