I've been reading on hiking with children and from what I've read there is no way this tiny little boy made it 4 miles over rough terrain. Some 7 year olds could manage a 4 mile hike on a clean trail with an adult and plenty of breaks.
Not even if he was panicked and running part of the way? How rough was the terrain he covered?
And what part of the four miles was on the road he was found near?
From Washington Trails Association:
"Children 5 to 7 years old can hike for 1 to 3 hours a day, covering 3 to 4 miles over easy trails."
If that's correct he could have gotten almost that far before they even made the 911 call.
