The child, who told officers his name was Trayson, was taken back to LAPD's Southeast Station where authorities tried unsuccessfully to contact his parents.
DCFS was later able to contact the parents based on the child's previous history of wandering away.
No arrests have been made, however the incident was under investigation by both agencies.
