Peel police say they have found the child seen walking by himself in Mississauga on Tuesday afternoon.
Const. Taylor Halfyard said a motorist driving south on Creditview Road saw a toddler walking in the curb lane, prompting them to call police.
Officers attended but did not find the child.
Police shared a photo on social media of the child standing in the middle of the road, saying they wanted to speak to the parents or guardians to confirm the child’s well-being.
“So obviously concerning to us that we would receive a phone call and we would have some photographic footage as well of a child who’s in a live lane of traffic,” Halfyard said. “That’s somewhat concerning, an unattended child.”
Just after 9:30 p.m., police said the child had been found.
