Child Found Wandering Roadway
Knoxville Police have found relatives of a young boy found wandering alone along a road.
The boy is about three feet tall and has blond hair. A truck driver called 911 at 1:48 a.m. on Wednesday and said he found the child walking near the Ryder truck yard on Strawberry Plains Pike in eastern Knox County, according to The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/xaPGhj ). The boy was wearing a hooded sweat shirt and jogging pants. He wasn’t able to tell a police officer his name or those of his parents, nor could he say where he lived.
The newspaper reported a Knox County dispatcher later said police had found relatives of the child, but had no additional information.
The boy was put into custody of the Department of Children’s Services.
