""It was emotional for everyone," San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Doug Hubbard said. "Tears even came to Briant's eyes. It was a beautiful thing."

The little boy was none the worse for wear, police said -- except the kidnappers had cut off his long curly hair, shaving his head.

The boy was found last week across the border in Mexicali, Mexico, wandering the streets and at first police there had no idea who he was.

Only on Friday did they realize that he matched Briant's description, and they contacted San Bernardino police and the FBI agents investigating the case."

This is great he is safe & back home.

However, the mother needs to make an
effort to become a U.S. citizen.

Plant trees for life......

I was thrilled when I heard that they found this beautiful little boy!!! I have to admit that I didn't have much hope for a happy ending. I am SO glad to be wrong.
