The Pierce County Sheriff's Department says the missing 5-year-old boy with autism Scotty Meyer has been found safe and he appears physically unharmed. The child was found by a volunteer searcher's dog in a wooded area near the Mississippi River about a half mile from his home. The boy went missing about noon Tuesday near Prescott, Wis., and hundreds searched for him.

Five-year-old Scott Meyer's autism prevents him from describing what he went through last week when he wandered away from home and spent a night on a Mississippi River bluff. Nurses pulled eighty deer ticks off of him. But apart from countless mosquito bites and a sunburn, he's okay. His parents publicly thanked the 200 volunteers who searched for him and the man whose golden retriever found Scott.
