Where do you get all that?
The caller could have easily been on a cell phone and waited with the boy for police to respond. They have not released specific information about how he was found, who called, if the reporting person was on a cell, standing with the boy, etc etc.
The only fact that seems evident here, is that someone called and the boy was picked up and is now safe. I'd guess that is a good thing.
From the article:
“Cole was found alone on a quiet street outside a Methodist church in Las Vegas late Saturday night.”
Do you have a different interpretation of that?
