Boy found in wall - A 13 year-old boy had finally been reconciled with his mother after he was reported missing for four years. The boy was reportedly hidden by his step mother and father. Now, the couple faces charges on obstruction, child cruelty, and false imprisonment.
The boy found in wall has yet to be identified. For one, he has been reported to be missing almost four years ago and was only reunited with his mother on Saturday.

Authorities immediately run a search at the father's home only to come up short with no evidence that the 13-year old boy was inside. However, thanks to a text message the boy had sent to his mom, officials were able to pinpoint his exact location. The boy found in wall was discovered in Atlanta city, 17 miles south.
The 13-year old boy found in wall was hidden in a panel in a linen closet in the house's' garage. Investigations are still underway as to what pushed the father and the step mother to hide the child away for four years. The couple, Gregory Jean and Samantha Davis, along with their three children now face charges on obstruction. In addition, the couple involved in the case of the boy found in wall have been denied bail thus remain in prison for the time being.
Neighbours of the family were reportedly shocked following the reports on the case of the boy found in wall. The family allegedly moved in six months ago and mostly kept to themselves. A few neighbors claim to have seen the boy working in the yard. Davis and Jean are set to head back to court by Dec. 9.
