A joint effort between Michigan State Police and the Clinton Township Police Department, along with the community, led to the swift and safe reunion of a nonverbal teen with his father. The teen found wandering along I-94 in Macomb County, had authorities reaching out to the public for assistance in identifying him and connecting him with his family.
Michigan State Police were called to the scene early today after reports of the teen walking dangerously close to traffic on eastbound I-94 at Harper. According to WWJ Newsradio, the boy is believed to have autism and communicated through a written note, which read, "Caleb Dad." This piece of information was the key to finding his family.
The Clinton Township Police Department also posted a message on their Facebook page, stating, "Thanks to some very helpful information relayed by the community, this gentlemen is being reunited with his father. Thank you all for your assistance." They did not hesitate to express their gratitude for the community's support in ensuring the teen’s well-being.
The boy, approximately 5’9” and 140 lbs., was wearing a distinctive outfit consisting of a white t-shirt paired with "Simpsons" cartoon yellow shorts, complemented by black socks and gray slides. Witness reports and community input were instrumental in reuniting Caleb with his father.
