Missing Quebec child: Police scrambling to find toddler who vanished in Montreal​

Quebec provincial police are searching for a three-year-old girl who was last seen Sunday morning in Montreal.

The Sûreté du Québec (SQ) says the child, C.B., was reported missing Sunday afternoon in Coteau-du-Lac, Que., about 50 kilometres west of where she was last seen in Montreal’s LaSalle borough.

According to authorities, a woman who was caring for the girl entered a business in Coteau-du-Lac around 3 p.m. and said she couldn’t find the child.

Police searched through the night in both LaSalle and Coteau-du-Lac and also looked in Ontario.

3-year-old girl missing from LaSalle, could be in Montérégie​

Quebec provincial police are looking for a three-year-old girl who was last seen in Montreal’s LaSalle borough.

C.B. was last seen on Sunday at 9:45 a.m. near Newman Boulevard.

The person who was taking care of the girl at the time, who sources have told Noovo Info was her mother, reported her missing at 3:30 p.m. in Coteau-du-Lac in the Montérégie region, almost an hour away.

“There was a person who was taking care of the child, who came [into a store] to say that they didn’t have the child anymore, that they lost her; they didn’t know where she was,” said Jean-Raphaël Drolet, a spokesperson with the SQ.

Drolet says police are looking for the girl both in LaSalle and Coteau-du-Lac, adding that she could be with her dog, a brown, long-haired chihuahua.

“If you see a dog that looks like this, don’t hesitate to call 911, and we will respond,” he said. “That’s the kind of information that could break the case.”


Police are asking anyone who lives near the two search areas to check their backyards, doorbell cameras and more for potential sightings.

Camila Alvez, who lives near the family home in LaSalle, says she never really noticed the girl or her dog.

However, she says she witnessed police searching “every apartment” for them.

“I talked with the police by the entrance [of the building] last night,” she said. “They [the police] were searching door to door. It was horrible.”

‘Every hour mattered’: Missing 3-year-old Quebec child found alive, spotted by drone in Ontario | Globalnews.ca

A three-year-old Quebec girl missing since Sunday has been found alive in Ontario following a frantic search.

Todd was arrested and charged Tuesday with unlawful abandonment of a child after she reported her daughter as missing Sunday in Coteau-du-Lac, Que., about 50 km west of where she was last seen in Montreal’s LaSalle borough. The child had last been seen around 9:45 a.m. on Newman Boulevard.
Authorities said hours later, Todd parked her SUV outside a store in Coteau-du-Lac, went inside and told staff she couldn’t find her daughter.
After days of searching, investigators got a major clue earlier Wednesday. Investigators in Quebec were able to establish that the girl and her mother had been spotted alive about 2 p.m. in the Casselman and St. Albert area on Sunday.
Police sought the public’s help to figure out where Todd was that day between 2 p.m. and her return to Quebec around 3:30 p.m.
Helicopters, drones and tracking dogs were used in the search.
On Tuesday, the SQ had asked people to be on the lookout for a long-haired chihuahua with reddish-brown fur, who might have been with the girl. Hours later a dog resembling the family’s chihuahua had been found dead near the junction of highways 20 and 30 near Montreal.
 
What a miracle! I too, really wonder what in the world was going on, however. How did the dog die? And did Mom just leave her child out there to fend for herself?
 
Still waiting for any of this to make more sense. You drop a dog, you drop a child and tell the child to wait for you? In the middle of nowhere apparently?

She's lucky her child is not DEAD and she likely won't get as harsh of charges as she should. She deserves a charge over the dog too and I imagine all sorts of things. NEVER should she be near a child again imo but we will see what happens...

3-year-old missing Montreal girl found safe in Ontario needs rest, privacy: Quebec police​

Quebec provincial police are are asking the public to stop sharing the name and photo of the three-year-old Montreal girl who was found alive in Ontario after going missing for four days.

While tips from citizens in Quebec and Ontario, who widely shared the girl’s name and photo throughout the search, contributed to her being found, police are now asking people to restore her anonymity.

“What she experienced as a child was a very difficult ordeal,” the SQ’s Jean Raphaël Drolet said in a video on the police force’s social media Thursday. “And what she needs right now is to rest, regain her strength, and also to return to anonymity. We’re counting on everyone right now to stop spreading her identity or posting photos or videos that could identify her.

“This is intended for her, today and in the future, but also for her loved ones, who also experienced this event.”


The 34-year-old mother is scheduled to return to court Friday for a bail hearing.

Lasalle woman found not criminally responsible in missing child case​

A Quebec Superior Court judge has ruled that the LaSalle mother, 34, who abandoned her three-year-old daughter in June, is not criminally responsible for her actions due to mental illness. Judge Bernard St-Arnaud issued the decision after a brief hearing Monday at the Valleyfield courthouse, following the submission of evidence and a psychiatric evaluation. The woman, whose identity is protected by a publication ban, was evaluated at the Philippe-Pinel Institute after her arrest. According to the psychiatric report presented to the court, she was suffering from a mental illness on June 15, the date of the incident, and was incapable of distinguishing right from wrong.

The hearing included a summary of the facts of the case and testimony from the accused’s parents. The judge is now considering whether the woman should remain detained at the Philippe-Pinel Institute for further psychiatric treatment or be permitted unescorted leaves. The defence is seeking the possibility of unescorted leaves after a period of treatment, while the Crown opposes this, citing public safety concerns.

Testimony began with the woman’s father, who described his daughter’s longstanding mental health issues. He told the court that she was initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which was later revised to a schizoaffective disorder. He stated his belief that her illness could be managed outside a hospital setting with appropriate medication adherence and support. The father also expressed concern about his daughter’s engagement with the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT, describing it as similar to conversing with a person and suggesting that excessive use could be detrimental for individuals with mental health problems. He referenced media reports of others hospitalized after developing dependencies on such applications. “She needs a friend. She needs a real friend,” he told the court.

The accused’s mother, who is also the child’s maternal grandmother, told the court she intends to support her daughter through ongoing treatment. She confirmed that her daughter’s diagnosis is schizoaffective disorder and described it as a chronic condition requiring lifelong management. She also stated that she has had dinners with her granddaughter since the incident and that the three-year-old has expressed missing her mother.

The psychiatric assessment, prepared by Dr. Marie-Michèle Boulanger, recommended that the accused remain at Pinel for treatment, with the possibility of future unescorted leaves if her condition improves. Dr. Boulanger testified that the woman had been suffering from untreated mental illness for several months leading up to the incident and that she lacked awareness of her actions while in a state of psychosis. According to Dr. Boulanger, the accused rarely mentioned her daughter during psychiatric evaluation, instead focusing on issues related to a former colleague. The psychiatrist described the woman as intelligent but isolated, with limited social supports. Dr. Boulanger also stated that the accused’s sister, her closest relative, resides in another province.


During Monday’s hearing, Crown prosecutor Lili Prévost-Gravel described the conditions in which the child was found, characterizing the area as hazardous and unsuitable for a young child. Prévost-Gravel stated that the girl’s father remains unable to return to work as he cannot leave his daughter unattended.

The judge is scheduled to hear further arguments on Tuesday regarding the appropriate conditions for the accused’s continued detention and the possibility of unescorted leaves from the Philippe-Pinel Institute.
