DETROIT (WWJ) -- Police say a preteen boy who disappeared on Detroit's west side over the weekend is back home safe.

According the Detroit Police Department on Monday, 12-year-old George Wooten went missing after he jumped out of his mother's car while it was at a stop in the 17200 block of W. McNichols on Sunday.

He ran off, and his mom wasn't able to find him.
