A frantic search for a missing nine-year-old boy in New York City ended on a surprising note when he was found safe and sound—relaxing on a rooftop.
The boy’s parents reported him missing Friday morning after he failed to arrive at school, prompting an urgent search by the NYPD. As officers scoured the area, FOX 5 New York sent a helicopter to assist in the search.
In a twist, the helicopter’s cameras captured the boy lounging in a lawn chair on the rooftop of his family’s Brooklyn apartment, casually using a laptop.
Dressed in his school uniform, the boy seemed unfazed by the commotion below. Helicopter reporter Dan Rice was the first to spot the boy, who was eventually reunited with his relieved parents.
This story is a rare case where a missing child was found safe, bringing relief to everyone involved. Rice noted that this was an unusual but satisfying outcome compared to the often tragic endings of missing child cases.
