The boy, Kenton Weaver, left his home in Boca Raton early Tuesday, drove his father's Ford Explorer to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, parked in a ramp and boarded a Southwest Airlines plane, West Palm Beach television station WPBF reported.

The boy flew to Chicago, waited through a layover and then completed a second leg to San Jose, Calif., not far from his mother's home.
 
Holy crow! I sooo see how this could happen!

My 12yo son is - right now - on a school trip to FL. My biggest concern was after dropping him at the airport. I just kept worrying about him staying with his group and being on the right plane.

My family thought I was nuts, but seriously? We grew up on Home Alone. It could happen. Once I talked to a chaperone who had personally sat with him, I was totally fine.

And, yes, I have emailed all of them this article. :p
