North Ogden police found an autistic teen safe Monday morning after his family reported him missing over the weekend.
An “alert citizen” helped tip police off to where 13-year-old Parker Ryan might be, and they found him “in good condition“ just after 8 a.m. Monday in southern Weber County, according to police.
The boy’s family had reported him missing Sunday after he reportedly ran away. They were afraid the teen was in danger because he suffers from autism and mental illnesses and needs medication.
The family was grateful to community members for their assistance in the teen’s return, police said.
