Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- A 5-year-old California boy , missing for two years after his parents lost custody and then allegedly abducted him , was found undernourished and weighing 38 pounds , Los Angeles County authorities said Tuesday . The boy , tracked down Friday , was returned Saturday evening to the custody of his maternal grandparents in Rancho Palos Verdes , California , about 40 miles south of downtown Los Angeles , authorities said . The boy was undernourished and had other medical conditions , authorities said . `` He is beginning to adjust to living in a normal environment , '' Deputy U.S . Marshal David Dominguez said in a statement . Although doctors say the boy 's recovery will take a while , he should thrive with proper medical attention , Dominguez said . The boy is already scheduled to attend school and is getting his appetite back , authorities said . His parents , Ausar Allah-El and Serenity Sol-El , are in custody in New Orleans on charges related to the alleged 2009 child abduction , with bail set at $ 100,000 , Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Captain Mike Parker said in a statement . Extradition to Los Angeles County is being sought by sheriff 's investigators , Parker said . The boy was abducted from a Carson , California , child care center on April 25 , 2009 , when he was 3 years old and in the custody of his maternal grandparents , authorities said . For the past two years , the boy and his parents were apparently living on the streets , Parker said . `` It seemed as though ( the boy ) and his parents had disappeared without a trace for almost two years , '' Parker said in a statement . The parents had lost custody of their son after Los Angeles County officials made `` repeated attempts '' to help the parents care for their son and found the boy suffering `` from numerous medical conditions that could have been prevented with the proper care and medication , '' the statement said . `` His parents refused to provide the child with necessary medical appointments , dental exams , occupational therapists and ophthalmology appointments , '' the statement said . Asked why the parents allegedly did this , Parker said , `` Apparently , they have some type of belief that affects what they feed him and what type of medical care that they will allow him to receive . '' Then , on February 20 , a National Park Services police officer noticed `` something odd '' about a man panhandling in Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans , and as the officer interviewed the man , the panhandler texted someone on his cell phone , Parker said in a statement . A warrants check revealed the man to be the boy 's father , who was wanted by the Los Angeles County Sheriff 's Department for child abduction , according to authorities . After the father was in custody , he indicated he had been with his wife and child , and U.S . Marshals authorities searched for them for two weeks , Parker said . The mother and son had been staying with her friends and acquaintances in the New Orleans area , and authorities apprehended her and the boy following a surveillance , Parker said . The family of three had been living there for at least a year , though the couple may not have been living together most recently , Parker said .
