ALLENTOWN (WPVI) -- Police have located the family of a 3-year-old boy found wandering in Allentown Thursday morning.



The boy was found around 9:45 a.m. in the 2000 block of East Pennsylvania Street.



Police sent out his photo in hopes of finding his family.



A few hours later, they located his parents.



Police say the boy's grandmother who was watching the child worked the night-shift, thought her grandson was sleeping, and fell asleep herself.
