A 5-year-old Florida boy who had wandered away from his home was found “happily enjoying his breakfast” at a nearby Chick-fil-A by officers, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said.<\/p>\n
Police said Chick-fil-A employees called them to report the barefoot boy’s solo appearance at their restaurant.<\/p>\n
When they arrived, officers found little William enjoying breakfast and lots of attention from the staff.<\/p>\n
After some detective work and a ride in a police car, William pointed out his home.<\/p>\n
Officers found that the gate was locked, and William had squeezed through it earlier.<\/p>\n
“Officer Perri climbed over to knock on the door. You can imagine his parents’ surprise when they learned about their son’s morning adventure,” the JSO said.<\/p>\n
William’s mother said, “It’s kind of scary, actually, because we didn’t realize what was going on until after we came out.”<\/p>\n
She said she believed he had unlocked the front door while they were still sleeping.<\/p>\n
“He’s never done that,” she said.<\/p>\n
The JSO reminded parents to teach their kids their home address, parents’ names, and a phone number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 5-year-old Florida boy who had wandered away from his home was found “happily enjoying his breakfast” at…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":196246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5136],"tags":[109118,5229,3188,723,7310,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-196245","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville","8":"tag-109118","9":"tag-america","10":"tag-fl","11":"tag-florida","12":"tag-jacksonville","13":"tag-united-states","14":"tag-united-states-of-america","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","17":"tag-us","18":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115139201252514793","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
