OPP confirm that the feared abduction of a boy possibly 8 to 11 years was actually a parent dealing with a son who was “running away from home.” Because of concern on the part of whoever saw this exchange, a province-wide Amber Alert was issued. The process included an over-ride of all television signals in a large part of the province, not just news bulletins. No doubt this is being discussed in the offices of television and cable firms today. .The alert was cancelled about an hour into the alarm with police saying the boy had been located and was safe.
