A 3-year-old boy who was left in a corn maze by his family is safe after a good Samaritan reported he looked lost.

News Station KTVX reports the boy "looked like he was lost" when he was found alone in a corn maze in West Jordan, Utah on Monday.

Sgt. Joe Monson of the West Jordan police told KTVX that the boy didn't tell him his name but did say he was three. He added staff "waited for a while to see if anybody showed up for the child."

The child spent the night with the Division of Child and Family Services after the child's parents didn't arrive, reports KTVX.

The boy's mother reported him missing at about 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, about 12 hours after he was found alone at the corn maze. Investigators who went to the boy's home said he lives with multiple families with approximately 10 or more children. The news station didn't clarify further about the boy's living arrangements.

Kendall Schmidt, owner of the Crazy Corn Maze where the boy was lost, told news station Fox 13 that the boy was crying and upset that he couldn't find his mother. Schmidt said he used a bullhorn and made announcements to come to the front of the maze if anyone is missing a child.

Schmidt added he was grateful that the good Samaritan stepped up and helped the child and that his mother reported him missing. Both news stations were unable to confirm if the boy is back in the care of his mother.

The case remains under investigation.
