The father of a one-year-old girl who was the subject of an Amber Alert in Montreal earlier this week was charged Thursday with kidnapping.
The child’s mother, aged 18, appeared on Wednesday. She was accused of breaking into a residential home to commit a kidnapping.
The Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions (DPCP) announced Thursday that the father would remain detained and that his case had been adjourned until Friday.
The little girl was reported missing Tuesday morning in the Lachine district of Montreal.
The mother and baby were found in an unspecified location in northwest Montreal shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday, the day after the Amber Alert was issued.
A publication ban prevents the disclosure of any information that identifies the child.
