00:00We arrived on scene. Hello. Hello. And as we walked in, we see a little kid sitting at the table eating his breakfast with one of the managers. Hey, buddy. Oh, look at that. We asked where he came from and he kept saying he walked to Chick-fil-A. You know where your house is, right, honey? It's right across the street right over there. Okay, cool. I have children and, you know, the first thing, you know, you get that knot in your stomach because, you know, somebody else who's a parent is missing their child. Are you going to show us where you live? Yeah. Okay.
00:29We gathered him up. Look at that. Say thank you. That's a California. I walked him to the back of my patrol car. Are you going to get me in jail? No, I'm not going to put you in jail. And we started checking here. All right, buddy, where's your house at? We were wondering where did this child come from? Is it right here? None of these doors are open. None of these garages are open. I don't live in a duck pond. So then he explained that he had a white fence. That's where it is. Right here? Yeah. And that's when we pulled up in the driveway. Ah.
00:58And then we realized that the call box wasn't working. We had no way to get through the gate. How about this?
01:08My initial thoughts were, I can't believe he came out of here. It's the most secure house on that block in reference to having a fence all the way around front, back, sides.
01:19Police. I'm Phil. And I'm Victoria. Good morning. Hey, good morning. Hey, do you have a son named Lee?
01:25Bill, you. Yeah, a little boy? Yeah.
01:28Our five-year-old William had an adventure a few weeks ago, and we live nearby very close.
01:33Yeah, he was down at the Chick-fil-A. Are you kidding me? No, we have him in our police car. You want to come get him?
01:38You could just see the look on his face. It would be for any parent, including myself. It's disbelief.
01:43It's kind of scary, actually, because we didn't realize what was going on until after we came out.
01:49Do you have any idea how he got out?
01:50Yeah, he just felt unlike the front door, but he's never done that.
01:53I was worried about him because was he scared? Was he crying? Was he upset?
01:58Come on, little man.
01:59He was quiet, which is unusual for him.
02:01Oh, my God.
02:01Did he get scared?
02:03He's such a...
02:04Why didn't you go to Chick-fil-A?
02:05You're welcome.
02:06I think it did shake him up some, so I don't think we really needed to, you know, impress
02:10too much that you shouldn't do it again, things like that. I think he understood that it was
02:13serious, but we did talk about it.
02:15He said he opened the gate and cut Fonzo and went down the street.
02:18I know he knows how to get to Chick-fil-A because we walked there. I would have never expected
02:22him to come down here on his own in the morning before anybody else in the house was up.
02:27Good morning. Good to see you again, sir. Good to see you again.
02:33How are you, sir? How are you, young lady?
02:39Hey, what's up, buddy?
02:40Hey, dude.
02:41You remember us?
02:42Say hi.
02:43Oh, are these for me?
02:44Well, thank you, buddy. I appreciate it.
02:46Oh, man. I can't wait. Thank you.
02:49These are awesome.
02:50Oh, nice.
02:51All right, here. Can you take a picture?
