Ontario Amber Alert: 5-year-old boy abducted in Mississauga

UPDATE: The amber alert has been canceled. The boy and his mother were found safe at KFC in Tilbury. Some identifying details have been removed.

An Ontario Amber Alert has been issued for a 5-year-old boy who was allegedly abducted from Mississauga by his mother, local officials say. Anyone with information is urged to call 911 immediately.

The child was last seen at his school near Cawthra Park between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Wednesday. His father reported him missing on Thursday morning when the child’s mother failed to bring him home.

The mother has been identified as Juliet M., a 47-year-old female with brown skin, black hair, and brown eyes, standing 5 feet tall and weighing 130 pounds. She was last seen wearing a blue shirt, black leggings, black boots with fur trim, and a brown jacket.

M. may be traveling in a grey 4-door 2003 Toyota Matrix with Ontario plates.

“Juliet does have some preexisting medical conditions that require medication and if she does not take that medication it does cause her to act of character,” the child’s father told CP24. “Attempts to contact Juliet have been unsuccessful and there is concern for both her wellbeing as well as the wellbeing of [the child].”
