Vacaville police have located the parents of a toddler who was found wandering around a neighborhood early Thursday morning.

At around 6:45 a.m., the unattended child was found walking in the southeast area of Vacaville wearing red footie pajamas. The child was alone, but otherwise unharmed, according to police.

The Vacaville Police Department posted a photo of the child on Facebook to ask if anyone knew of the child’s parents. KTVU reported a call was made to the police department that eventually helped locate his parents.

The Facebook post was later taken down.
