TWIN PEAKS (CBS) — The parents of a Southland boy with severe autism, lost in the mountains for 30 hours, lost their initial bid Thursday to re-gain custody of him.
Joshua Robb, 8, was rescued Tuesday by searchers in the San Bernardino mountains. Following the rescue, Joshua's parents spent an hour with him -- their first visit together in a week.
The county took Joshua from the Ron and Patricia Robb after someone reported the couple had restrained him with a tether.
In court Thursday morning, San Bernardino County officials granted them visitation rights to their son every Monday. The will have an "emergency visit" with him Friday.
Joshua's parents were recently evicted from their home, and are unemployed.
The court has ordered the Robbs to take classes. They say they'll do whatever they can to get their son back.
The Robbs will return to court for another custody hearing on Sept. 26th.
