Officers find missing 3-year-old boy last seen with grandfather

SEATTLE -- Police found a 3-year-old boy who was in the custody of his grandfather Thursday afternoon, a short time after a missing persons report about the child was filed.

The 3-year-old boy was left by his mother in the custody of his grandfather while she went to work, Seattle police said. When she returned home, neither the grandfather nor her son were there, police said.

The mother called police when she could not find her son.

A media alert was sent out, and the boy was spotted by Federal Way police a short time later.
