Two women have been charged with kidnapping a five-year-old boy from a Montreal suburb whose disappearance triggered an Amber Alert for several hours on Tuesday.
The suspects, aged 65 and 48, appeared in a Longueuil, Que., court Wednesday, where they were charged with kidnapping, kidnapping with the intent of taking a person out of Canada, and abduction of a person under 14 with intent of depriving their parent or guardian of possession.

The Crown prosecutor’s office says the two will return to court on Thursday for a bail hearing.
Their names are under a publication ban to protect the identity of the five-year-old.
Police issued an Amber Alert at around 4 a.m. on Tuesday after the boy was allegedly taken from Brossard, Que., south of Montreal, by a person in a Tesla 3 with Ontario licence plates.
The boy was found unharmed later that day in York Region, north of Toronto.
