A 4-year-old boy was found wandering the streets alone in Lauderdale Lakes Wednesday morning.

Someone found the child in the 4300 block of Oakland Park Boulevard.

The boy told Broward Sheriff's Office deputies his mother had dropped him off at his father's house Tuesday night.

According to police, the boy's father went to a Wal-Mart near his home to buy his son some snacks. When he returned home, he called police to report his son was missing.

Police said they continue to investigate the incident but at this time don't expect to file any charges.
