Abducted Calif. boy reunited with mom
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. -- A 3-year-old California boy kidnapped nearly two weeks ago is said to be in good spirits after being reunited with his mother.
Officials say Briant Rodriguez appears to be unharmed, though his long, curly locks have been shaved off.
San Bernardino County Sheriff Rod Hoops says the odds that Briant would be found safe had been going down every day, but he says his detectives "never gave up.
" The child was found alone Thursday, wandering the streets of the border town of Mexicali, Mexico.
The boy is being checked over at a southern California hospital.
The reunion between Briant and his mother ended an ordeal that began May 3 when authorities say two armed men burst into the family's San Bernardino home.
Authorities say they may be closing in on at least two suspects.

Hundreds of volunteers 'Give Back to America'
EAST CLEVELAND -- There's no ulterior motive here. Hundreds of volunteers gave up part of their Saturday to help out their neighbors.
Home builder Michael Audrick came up with the concept of "Give Back America Day" and members of the Concord Baptist Church got the ball rolling with the project.
Volunteers went around to the homes of senior citizens in East Cleveland, offering to do repair projects.
Organizers hope the idea will catch on with other communities.
