A 9-year-old boy reported missing in Brooklyn was found on the roof of his apartment building, playing on an iPad instead of attending school. His parents alerted the police when he did not arrive at school, prompting the NYPD to issue a missing person alert. A news helicopter from CBS New York spotted the child lounging on the roof and confirmed his identity with the police. The boy was wearing an orange tie, matching the description given by his parents. A neighbor observed the child on the roof earlier but did not realize he was missing. After the police arrived, the boy was safely returned to his parents.
