An Amber Alert issued for a six-year-old boy who was last seen in northeastern British Columbia has been cancelled, but police say the child remains missing and the investigation is ongoing.
RCMP issued the alert in Alberta late Wednesday after the child was reported missing from a rural community northwest of Grande Prairie. The alert was later expanded into British Columbia, as well as parts of the Northwest Territories and Yukon.

The boy was last confirmed to have been seen in Fort St. John, B.C., on Wednesday morning.
Mounties say the Amber Alert was cancelled because it no longer met the criteria for an active public alert. However, the search for the child and the other individuals continues.
WHERE was the provincial Amber Alert?? Nobody in my circle received one. I sure didn’t. I saw this on facebook. How irresponsible of police agencies. These Amber Alerts should ONLY be cancelled AFTER the child is found. FULL STOP. Make it a national alert, too! Ridiculous how you people cancel it because this child doesn’t meet “criteria”. They are STILL missing!!! I wouldn’t put it past the blue line there is undertones of racism. I have seen more of it in the past two years than ever before. It’s disgusting.
At dinner last night in Vancouver, 6 of us at the table and only 1 person received the Amber Alert text. How come?
Yet another unblockable alert over a custody battle. I am so completely fed up with Amber Alerts. I would hack my phone to block them except the hack also blocks REAL emergency alerts. Stupid government policy.
And social media is full of the same demographic saying stuff like
If you see this lady, no you didnt
and
run momma run
The fact is, you have to be an absolute monster of mother to not win sole or primary custody due to a biased famiy law industry. Buit oh oh a relative posted that the dad is a pdf file and the the mother has made (false legally strategic) accusations of SA before so….
These women are disgusting
If it’s near the border with Alberta then why are they sending emergency alerts to people in Vancouver at 2AM?

@davis lim
Doubtful. Be a better parent.
@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
