HOUSTON – Authorities are piecing together where a child’s parents were after a little boy was found wandering the roadway in Spring early Tuesday morning.

Details are limited, as it’s an active investigation, but officials with Harris County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office say they first received a call for a “welfare check” on Cypresswood Dr. and Cypresswood Heights.
