Authorities clarified that the parents were not in any trouble and had taken several safety measures. <\/p>\n
JSO says the boy was able to identify his home after a police car ride, but officers were unable to get through the gate the boy had squeezed through before.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s office says they want to use this story with a happy ending as an example for others.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a good reminder to teach kids their home address, parents\u2019 names, and a phone number. It could make a big difference in an emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n
