The parents of an autistic boy, who ran away from school and was lost in the mountains for 30 hours, have lost their fight to regain custody of him.
Joshua Robb, eight, was found in the wilderness more than 24 hours after he ran away from his elementary school in Twin Peaks, California.
He was airlifted to a hospital for an evaluation and was said to be fine after his ordeal.
The boy's parents were not able to take him home, KTLA reports.
Instead he was placed in the care of a social worker.
Joshua's father said: 'I told the nurse, "I know you have your job to do, but this is just totally wrong. Take him to a proper home".'
Joshua's parents recently lost their home to foreclosure, and authorities believed the boy may have been searching for them when he disappeared.
The boy was placed in protective custody two weeks ago and had been staying with a teacher.
His parents are currently facing child abuse charges for allegedly keeping him tied up with a rope at their home.
San Bernardino County officials granted them visitation rights to their son on Thursday.
The court also ordered the couple to take parenting classes.
They are due back in court on September 26.
