Searcher finds missing child in vacant house

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. (AP) -- Four-year-old David Tippin seemed not to know what all the fuss was about. After going missing for two days, the child was found unharmed and sleeping in a vacant house less than a mile from his home.
The discovery Tuesday came after hundreds of neighbors and police with bloodhounds joined in the search for the little brown-haired boy who wasn't in his bed when his family came to wake him for church Sunday.
About 9 a.m. Tuesday, Bobby Hinton, 70, noticed lights on at a rental home he owns near his house. He went to check it out and then called his wife over.
"He called me to the door and said, 'Look who I found,'" said his wife, Martha Hinton.
She called 911 and gave the boy the milk and cookies. The Hintons said David was surrounded by frozen food he had taken from the refrigerator. Martha Hinton guessed he was looking for toys.
He was taken briefly to a hospital, where he ate a serving of pudding before snacking on a hot dog and french fries and talking about kindergarten, which he starts Monday. He had suffered only slight dehydration and scratches on his face and legs.
At the hospital, David, wearing a red shirt, shorts and yellow socks, responded to reporters' questions by spelling his name.
