(Stoneham) A public appeal is being made to help authorities find an 18-month-old child who is missing with his mother.
Posted at 10:52 p.m.
At the request of the Department of Youth Protection (DPJ) of the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ) is asking for the public’s help in locating 32-year-old Jacqueline Beaudoin-McClintock and his 18-month-old son James Audet, both of Stoneham.
The mother reportedly left the Stoneham area over the weekend with her son.

“The circumstances surrounding their departure from the region lead the authorities to believe that the child’s situation is or may be considered to be in jeopardy,” the SQ statement said.
The disappearance of the child is not the subject of an Amber alert since the mother has legal custody of the toddler.
Anyway, the police and the DPJ want to find the toddler as soon as possible.
The information gathered by the investigators suggests that Jacqueline Beaudoin-McClintock may have left Quebec, but that she would have tried to entrust her son James to an acquaintance before leaving, according to the SQ.
The woman is 1.54 m tall, weighs 54 kg, has brown hair and blue eyes. She could be wearing a wig and having dyed her hair since she left.
Little James Audet and his mother would be traveling in a white Chrysler 300 vehicle, built in 2005. The vehicle could be registered Y61 XQX or Z09 WGC, the SQ said.
Anyone who sees Jacqueline Beaudoin-McClintock or her son James Audet is asked to contact 911.
Any information that could help find the young woman or her son can also be communicated, in complete confidentiality, to the Criminal Information Center of the Sûreté du Québec at 1800 659-4264.
