PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A 10-year-old Philadelphia boy was found safe in Upper Chichester, Pa., more than 30 hours after he went missing.

The fourth grader was found in his former Delaware County neighborhood after walking out of his school cafeteria in Southwest Philadelphia on Tuesday morning.

His family said they recently moved to the city and were concerned about his safety because of the extreme cold and his age.

Sources tell Action News the child took an Uber to Upper Chichester to see a friend he missed.
