WTF:Missing boy spends the night at Walmart!!

Kevin Perez, 11, spent the night at the 24-hour Riverview Walmart store apparently afraid he would be in trouble if he went home, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

The boy walked to the store from his house and didn't realize what time it was until he got there, reports the St. Petersburg Times.

Meanwhile it was an all-out boyhunt for the missing youth.

Dozens of sheriff's deputies searched for the boy with helicopters and canine units. They also launched reverse 911 calls. At least two dozen sheriff's cars converged on the boy's neighborhood.

A Walmart employee noticed Kevin milling around the store at about 2 a.m., but thought perhaps the boy's parents were with him.

Later, employees realized the boy was alone and called deputies. As early morning employees began their 7 a.m. shift, Kevin waited for the police to reunite him with his family.

Kevin and his parents were whisked away from the scene and into their neighborhood by the deputies.

Authorities plan to leave any potential punishment to his parents.

If this were your son, what would you do?
