Police say the boy’s mother has been charged with one count of abduction, and the boy has been returned to his father.
The Edmonton boy at the centre of an Amber Alert that spanned two Alberta cities has been found safe, and police are crediting an off-duty officer from Calgary with spotting the child and his mother.
When they issued the alert Friday night, police said they believed the boy was abducted from school by his mother that afternoon, and that he was believed to be in danger. “It was only at that point that we utilized that system. We don’t use it sort of as an investigative tool to help us resolve the matter quickly. We use it when we’re satisfied that it’s met the criteria and that the child is in fact in danger,” Emerson said.Emerson said he didn’t know details of how the Calgary officer knew an alert had been issued for the boy.
They were quickly denounced by others, including actor and comedian Andrew Phung, who was in his hometown of Calgary when he said he received the alert.
