SANSOM PARK (WBAP/KLIF News ) – The Sansom Park Police Department is looking for the parents of a child who was found wandering near the Sansom Ridge Apartments at 3100 La Junta Street near North Washington Avenue Wednesday night.

Officers responded to the call at 9:30 p.m. They went door to door and canvassed the area to try and locate the child’s family members, according to a news release.

He’s black, 3 and a half inches tall, 25 to 30 pounds and had braids in his hair. He was wearing a white Nike shirt with blue lettering and light blue shorts.
