He was last seen in Fort St. John, B.C. on July 9 at approximately 9:30 a.m.

@Samantha, if it’s kidnapping when a part time dad doesn’t return the kid(s) on time the same thing applies if the mom doesn’t. Unless mom’s should have special rights that nobody else gets and everyone else gets penalized. Wait, for some reason that sounds familiar for some reason………
This isn’t a kidnapping, she has been the sole parent his entire life. What a disgrace the system is
This isn’t a kidnapping! She has been the sole caregiver his ENTIRE life. What a disgrace the system is.
There was an amber alert issued for me and my son last year. RCMP then came and roughed me up and took my 3 girls that were with me and put them into a foster home for a night. My wife, and his 4 sisters and I have not seen my son Theo for over a year. Crooks in the Gov legally kidnapped my son and are human trafficking him. the amount of money spent on MCFD and court proceedings is a scandal
Yet another parental kidnapping
