During an initial search late Friday night, officers couldn’t locate the boy, Clayton County police Sgt. Kevin Hughes told the media.

“While at the location during the second call, the victim was able to establish phone contact with his mother and she in turn passed on additional information to the officers on the scene,” Hughes told WSB-TV. “The victim was found behind a false wall within the residence.”

The boy’s father, Gregory Jean, 37, and his stepmother, Samantha Joy Davis, 42, and three more suspects were arrested, according to USA Today. All were charged with obstruction, false imprisonment and cruelty to children.
