Authorities are questioning the parents of a 3-year-old boy who was found wandering alone near a gas station.

Roma police told Action 4 News that the 3-year-old was found by a woman on Obregon Street near the El Tigre gas station around 1 p.m. Friday.

No one has called the police department looking for the child prompting investigators to release a photo of him in hopes of someone recognizing him.

Police said the boy's parents showed up at the police department just before 2:30 p.m. Friday.

Investigators are questioning the boy's parents and have notified Child Protective Services.

Criminal charges may be filed depending on the outcome of the investigation.
