Kidnapped Boy Found Safe in Las Vegas

The article I read is about a 6-year old boy who was kidnapped last Wednesday in Las Vegas. I had not ever heard about this before I read the article. I wanted to read about it because I was curious to see what had happened. It said that 3 men came into his house on some sort of drug-dealing related rampage and tied up his parents. When they searched the house and couldn't find any money, they took the boy instead. They activated an Amber Alert and on Saturday they got an alert that someone had seen a boy who mathced the description walking alone on a sidewalk in the city's eastside. They confirmed it was him. I also learned, they think it could have had to do something with the little boy's grandfather, who had earlier been involved in a "significant drug dealing" and may have taken millions of dollars from drug dealers. Now that they have found the boy, they are focusing more on finding out about the drug dealing and the 3 men. I would like to know who the men were that done this because it is very mean to take someone's child. At least he was unharmed when they found him.

Thank goodness he is safe. Seriously though it was a bit selfish to say the least of the grandpa to be involved in the shady business of drug-dealing. He obviously didn't once stop and think how his actions could affect his family including his poor and innocent grandson.
