A 3-year-old Ohio boy has been reunited with his father, and flooded with dozens of Christmas gifts, after local authorities began investigating his mother on the suspicion of abandoning him at a cemetery only two days before Christmas. 

The boy, Tony, first jumped onto the radar of local authorities after he was found near Hope Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Hinckley, Ohio, on December 23, said Hinckley Police Department Chief David Centner shortly before Christmas. A witness told police at the time of the incident the boy was running after a car that abruptly sped off, and a dog was following him.
