JONESBORO, Ga. (AP) — Police say they arrested the father of a teenage boy and four other people after the child was found in a home in Clayton County, south of Atlanta.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the boy had been reported missing four years ago, and was reunited with his mother after police found him around 2 a.m. Saturday.
WSB-TV reports that the father and a woman at the home face charges of false imprisonment, cruelty to children and obstruction. Police said three juveniles were also arrested.
WSB reports that authorities said the boy was visiting his father in 2010. He then refused to return the boy to his mother.
Police could not immediately be reached Saturday by The Associated Press.
