Having just received the Amber Alert, a nurse recognized the boy she had just checked into the hospital and called the police.

The State Police said they are awaiting photographs of Tiffany and Qavai Cherry from Pennsylvania authorities.

Information collected earlier Friday night suggested she may be in the Waltham area.
