MONTGOMERY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork)-- A 13-year-old boy from Long Island who had been missing for days was located and found safe with relatives, police said Saturday.

Amari's mother said he packed a bag the night before and then disappeared.
Amari's mother made an emotional plea Friday night before her son was found, hoping that he was watching.
"Amari come home. Just come home," the boy's mother said. "Whatever it is that, you know, you have going on personally, mommy's here for you, you know, and she just wants to talk to you. She wants to know that you're OK, and I just want him home."
Police said the teen was found in Montgomery, New York on Saturday and was "with family in good health."
No additional details regarding his discovery were made available.
