The parents of a toddler found disoriented and wandering in Tokoroa late last night have been found.
The boy, thought to be about two, was first seen by a member of the public in the Carrington Crescent area of the town about 9.30pm.
At 11pm the person saw the boy again in the same place and contacted police, who collected him.
The little boy was cold, upset and seemed disorientated, police said.
He was being looked after by Child Youth and Family workers when his parents were found this morning.
