Police say the family of a young boy found alone in Fairfield, Ohio, this week has been located. The child was found in the Sherwood area, and officers had been working to identify his family.
According to WKRC, the boy's parents had been found. Officers asked anyone who might know the child or his family to come forward, and the department released a photo of the boy credited to the City of Fairfield Police Department as part of that effort.
The child was found Tuesday in the Sherwood area of Fairfield, according to a separate report from local12.com. The same outlet reported that the boy's family had been found.
Tip Line Stays Open as Police Stay Quiet on Details
Fairfield police had asked anyone with information about the child or his family to call 513-829-8201, a number cited by WLWT in its own coverage of the search. It remains unclear how officers ultimately identified the boy's family or what led to him being found alone in the first place.
Fairfield police have not released the child's name or age, nor have they described the circumstances that led to him being found without a parent or guardian nearby. No details about his condition or any further investigation have been made public, and police offered no additional comment beyond confirming that his family has now been located.
