NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. - DSS and North Augusta Public Safety officers are investigating the disappearance of 10-year-old Tyson Curry who was found alive and "okay" around 6:50 this morning.

Lt. Tim Pearson, the Public Information Officer with NADPS, says Curry's biological father called dispatch this morning to say his son was safe with him at the North Augusta Garden Apartments.

Deputies responded and said they did find the child "okay".
