DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — DeKalb County police are seeking public assistance to reunite a non-verbal child with his family after he was found running onto the roadway in Lithonia Friday.
Officers responded to the 1600 block of Laurel Creek Circle around 11 a.m. after receiving reports of a boy running onto the road. Unable to locate his family, police took the child to a hospital for evaluation.
The child, who is non-verbal, could not communicate where he lives, complicating efforts to identify his family. Police are asking anyone who recognizes the boy to contact them.
