A 12-year-old boy from Normal Heights has been reunited with his family, nearly 24 hours after he was reported missing.
Police say he was at a friend’s house.
The pre-teen was last spotted around 5:30 p.m. Friday on Hawley Street near Adams Elementary School. His mother told NBC 7 he had never gone missing like this before.
“It’s completely abnormal. He’s not the type to do this at all,” she said.
Family and friends spent Saturday passing out fliers around the neighborhood. Police set up a command center at 35th Street and Madison Avenue and brought in search dogs.
The boy was reunited with his family around 3:45 p.m.
