Words can't adequately explain the relief Penny Page when her 6 year old grandson finally returned home Saturday afternoon.
Steven Page was missing for four and a half hours after walking away from his grandmother's Inglewood Apartment
"He said can I go outside for a minute and I said yeah," said Page
The grandmother says a few minutes later she went outside and the 6 year old was nowhere to be found.
The family searched nearby apartments and eventually the search expanded to the woods behind the Inglewood apartment complex.
Aunt Angela Hebbeler says after hours of searching and finding nothing the family started to fear the worst.
"Is he gonna come back? This world is crazy and when you have a kid missing that long it's scary," said Hebbeler.
As it turned out those worries were for nothing.
Steven was actually playing with a friend in an apartment across the street.
He came home safely after seeing his own picture on television reports.
"We're just so grateful to you guys and everybody that helped," said Hebbeler.

Miss. chooses new firm to run Woodville prison
May 18, 2013 20:50 GMT
WOODVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Mississippi officials have picked a new company to run the Wilkinson County Correctional Facility.
Utah-based Management and Training Corp. announced Friday that the Mississippi Department of Corrections has chosen it to run the 1,000-bed prison starting July 1, the Natchez Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/10MvOGv).
Corrections Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tenn., had run the prison since 1998. MTC says it will keep "the vast majority" of employees.
MTC will get a five-year contract to run the prison with two one-year options. Last year, officials chose MTC to take over East Mississippi Correctional Facility, the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility and the Marshall County Correctional Facility from the GEO Group. MTC won 10-year contracts for each.
CCA still runs the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility and the Adams County Correctional Center in Mississippi.
