Boy found behind false wall in father's home - four years after he 'disappeared'

A couple have appeared in court after a 13-year-old boy reported missing four years ago was found by police behind a false wall in their US home.

The boy's father and stepmother were denied bail as they appeared this morning to answer charges of obstruction, false imprisonment and cruelty to children.

The boy's mother, who reportedly lives in Florida, had a tearful reunion with her son hours after he was rescued from the house in Atlanta, Georgia.

The boy's father had allegedly refused to return him to his mother after a visit in 2010.
