An amber alert has been lifted for a four-year-old child who went missing in Saint-Jérôme, just north of Montreal.
The child and his mother were found safe on Albert Street in Ottawa, Ont. around 4 p.m. Wednesday.
“The mother was immediately arrested,” said Audrey-Anne Bilodeau, a spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
“But we will give her the time to meet with investigators and explain herself.”
The boy can no longer be identified under Quebec youth protection laws.
“[The] child [will be] taken in charge by either members of the family or social services,” Bilodeau told Global News.
