HOLLY, Mich. (WXYZ) — Holly police say they have located the parents of a 18-month-old child who was spotted on a Ring camera after getting out of his house.
They say the child had been safe the entire time a search was underway. Officials say the child had gotten out, but his parents didn't know. However, he was home by the time police arrived at the scene to question his parents after they received word that he lived in the area.
Watch the video report below:
Police say they went to the home four different times on Friday before the parents admitted it was their child. They say the parents had thought they would be in trouble for the boy getting out. Officers are still following up with the family, and the case is still under investigation.
It is important to note that there were no reports of a missing child filed with law enforcement as part of the investigation.
According to officials, they received a call from a homeowner in the 500 block of Elm St. saying their Ring camera system had been activated shortly before noon by a child. Officers responded to the home and canvased the area, but did not find a child.
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office responded to a request for assistance by sending a K-9 and drone to the area.
