Earlier in the month we brought you the story of a desperate father who came to 7News studios asking the public for help to find his missing, mentally ill 22 year old son.

It was a story that struck a chord with the public because the frantic father was just trying to get to his vulnerable son before something bad happened.

But today that father got some good news. His son Luciano Jr. showed up at the home of family friends and they called his father.

He picked him up and this afternoon we caught up with them as they headed to Belize City's psychiatric clinic for his treatment. That's where the boy's father profusely thanked the public for bringing Luciano Reyes Jr home.

Luciano Jr went missing on January 22nd so he had been missing for about 25 days.
