ROSEBURG, Ore. (AP) -- A 5-year-old California boy was reunited with his mother after Oregon State Police troopers found him at a bus station in Roseburg.

Troopers say the mother had gotten off the bus to use the bathroom when it stopped in Grants Pass.

But the boy remained aboard, and the bus left without the mother, resulting in a 9-1-1 call to police.
