Two-year-old boy found wandering Philadelphia alone at night reveals tragic truth that his entire family are sleeping in a makeshift cardboard home
The boy was found just before midnight and handed over to a police officer
He'd
been sleeping with parents Angelique Roland, 27, and Michael Jones, 24,
and his four-year-old sister underneath the Fairmount Park Welcome
Center
Jones said the boy must have woken up after hearing the skateboarders and managed to open the box to chase after them
The couple said they don't have money to pay rent and slept in the park that night because the shelters were full
The boy and his sister were placed with Department of Human Services
A homeless advocacy group has since launched a $12,000 campaign to help the family reunite and afford a place of their own
