A drunk man reports his son missing: he returns home and finds him at home

He was convinced that his son had been kidnapped. A 29-year-old man reported the disappearance of his son in a grocery store located not far from his home. Convinced that his child had been kidnapped, he alerted the Connecticut police before realizing that the boy was at home, reports the local media CT Insider.

Grocery store run

Monday evening, Colby Parker visited the grocery store in the town of Tolland in the United States for the first time. For this race, he is in the company of his son and returns home with him. Later in the evening, he leaves by car in the direction of this small business, convinced that the child is at his side.

While doing his shopping, he realizes that his son is not waiting for him in his car and raises the alarm. For him at that moment, the child was kidnapped from the grocery store parking lot.

Extensive research operations

As soon as the disappearance was triggered, the grocery store staff and the city police began combing the area in search of the vanished child.

Of the dog units, called “K-9”, are also mobilized and the disappearance relayed on state standards. Thanks to the store’s video surveillance, authorities understand that the man made two trips to the grocery store that evening, only being accompanied by his son for the first.

Epilogue of a false alarm

The police then went to the thirty-year-old’s home and found the child “unharmed”. His father is subject to a alcohol test after authorities noted “signs of possible intoxication.” It turned out to be positive.

According to investigators, he did not understand that he had left his child at home for his second trip. He was arrested immediately and subject to prosecution for endangering others, violating the peace, driving under the influence and risk of injury to a child. His son was “returned to the care of a family member”.
