Ms Chacon told Fox11 she wanted to ‘thank everyone’ and the Ventura police department for helping find her son.
Police said he rode his bicycle too far, got lost, and was unable to make his way home and it was unknown how he survived the night.
But he was found in ‘good condition’ and the family was relieved this story had a happy ending, according to officers.
