Police spokesman Mark Fulghum said a woman and her two children drove to the Home Depot on Tacoma Mall Boulevard. The mom went in, leaving her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son in the car. The two got into an argument, and the 10-year-old walked off.
The daughter told her mother, and the two looked in the area and couldn't find the child. They called the police, who have been searching the area.
Fulghum said a neighbor told officers that she saw a boy matching the missing child's general description walking with an adult a few blocks from the store near South 64th Street and Wapato Street.
He is described as a 4-foot tall black male, wearing a red shirt, jeans and black and white shoes. Anyone with information should contact Tacoma Police.
missing child has been found safe, Fulghum said. It appears he just wandered off.
Pierce Transit supervisor found the boy and took him to an off-duty officer. The officials "put two and two together" and discovered he was the missing boy.
The boy was reunited with his family.
"He just got mad and wandered off," Fulghum said.
