Yesterday’s story of a missing 10-year-old boy at the beach in Carlsbadistan<\/em> has a very happy ending. Carlsbad Police were first notified that a boy was missing at 4:45 PM and by 6 PM the San Diego County Sheriff was flying up and down the beach alerting the public to the missing child with a PA. But, according to Police, by 7 PM the search was over and the child was back safely with his parents.<\/p>\n

A Carlsbad Police Department operator said the boy apparently wandered off and then, after hearing his name being called from the helicopter, borrowed a cell phone and called his dad. <\/p>\n

In a comment on this post people who claim they found the boy said that Christian did not in fact call his dad on a cellphone.<\/p>\n

“He was walking down the beach in South Oceanside asking folks which way was Carlsbad,” the commenter said. “Two women asked if he was Christian, he said yes, and a group of about ten of us started waving like crazy to the police helicopter frantically. We waited with the boy for the land police to show up. The boy had never noticed, much less heard the PA system calling out his own name. He really was unaware of any fuss or how much time had passed, he just wanted to walk back home. Police drove him back to Carlsbad.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to everyone who commented and cared.<\/p>\n
