College Station police responded to a call of a citizen finding an almost four year old boy about a half mile from his home. College Station police report the child was able to give his name and officers used Facebook to identify the boy’s father. A Facebook photo of a park led officers to the apartment where the child lived. According to the arrest report, two men who were not family members answered the door.
