Boy found safe on bus after mother feared “the worst”

    Kariym Muhammad was safe and sound in his Spongebob pajamas this morning after police spent part of last night searching for him.

    Muhammad was found asleep on a bus after disappearing from a daycamp his grandmother was running in West Philadelphia’s Malcolm X Park.

    His mother told Fox29 in an interview she feared “the worst” after another boy said he’d seen Muhammad leave the camp with another man. Police are still investigating how the boy ended up on the bus and why he was ultimately left alone.
