He retweeted the tweet to his 250,000 followers. Later that day, police found the missing child thanks to a tip they received on Twitter.
The department thanked Carr for his help.
“So it appears the secret to sharing local missing child info is a RT by your local @NFL QB. Thank you, @derekcarrqb! Child safely located,” Bolton tweeted.
