Speaking on behalf of the family, Gounden says the child's undergoing medical examinations.
"It was very emotional because he had been missing for quite a few weeks. We wish to thank everybody, including East Coast Radio, that came on board to make such a difference in the lives of the family.
"The reason that he was found is because of the circulation and it was also due to the fact that the person who did advise us was somebody who knew him as well."
The circumstances surrounding the teen's disappearance aren't yet known.
