Officers, sniffer dogs and a helicopter were hunting for little Jenson when his sister found him in his hideaway - 02-21-2013

I've bean here all along: Huge police search for boy, 5, asleep at home under bean bag.

Mum Samantha, 28, said: "I was out of my mind. We were fearing the worst.
 
"But my daughter moved our big bean bag and there he was -- fast asleep underneath it.
 
"Jenson looked peaceful but I was screaming with happiness. We were hugging him but he was completely unaware of what was going on."
 
The lad's distraught parents raised the alarm when he vanished from their home in Penlan, Swansea, at 8.15pm on Monday. He turned up at 9.45pm.
 
Dad Andrew, 29, said: "We had 12 police officers out looking for him, police dogs and the helicopter.
 
"They searched the attic, they searched everywhere. Everyone who knew me was out looking but even people who didn't know me were looking too.
 
"It was just incredible -- the support we had was phenomenal."
 
Samantha said the bean bag was moved several times so Jenson could not have been there the whole time.
 
She added: "All we know is he was sleeping soundly when we found him."
 
Insp Phil Thomas, of South Wales Police, led the search for Jenson and added: "It just goes to show how strong the community spirit can be when faced with situations like this.
 
"I'm glad the little boy was found."
