3-year-old boy and father found alive after Quebec Amber Alert: police | Globalnews.ca
'The Amber Alert came to an end on Saturday when investigators found the 36-year-old man and his child not far from where they were last seen in Sainte-Paule, Que., roughly 400 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.

“They are located, but there’s still negotiation and operations to handle that situation,” said Sgt. Stephane Tremblay of the Sûreté du Québec in Montreal.

Both the man and the child were still alive, Tremblay said, but there’s no further word on their condition.

Tremblay would not provide details on how the pair was found but said police would release more information in the coming hours.'

The carefully worded updates make it sound as though they may barricaded somewhere (hence the negotiations), sort of a hostage situation actually if this is the case IMHO only.

Scary!! Hoping for positive news ASAP!

“Several police officers surrounded the house where the father and his son are cloistered at about 4:10 p.m. inside a wooded lot south of Matane. Shots were also fired by the father at the police, according to what was learned. None of the officers were reportedly injured.

At the time of going to press tonight, David Côté was very hostile to the authorities and refused to go with his son

Dozens of police officers from the Sûreté du Québec conducting an operation where the child and father were found.

The major deployment was still underway at about 10:30 p.m. The SQ was stingy with comments. The health of the toddler and father was still unknown. Negotiations were underway between the father and the authorities on the spot.

"SQ teams are deployed on the way from the Coulée-Carrier to Sainte-Paule. People are asked not to approach the area during the operation, "said Ms. St-Pierre at the end of the day.”

"Police said Sunday that they had found the pair in a home in Sainte-Paule, Que., where the Amber Alert was first issued and where the search had been focused.

They said they are in contact with the father, but could not comment on the status of the son — only that they know he is inside the house."

…The police surround a residence on Carrier Coulée Road, where the suspect and the child are barricaded.

According to the information officer of the Sûreté du Québec, his colleagues are still negotiating with Côté to get him to surrender and release little Jake….

A major deployment of Sûreté du Québec vehicles, including armoured trucks, surrounds the area circumscribed by the state of siege.

Police vehicles obstruct the village's main road of some 240 inhabitants. Recall that David Côté would be armed and that, according to our information, shots were exchanged.”

"According to the former deputy director general of the Sûreté du Québec, Marcel Savard, police intervention will be carried out as a last resort, and only if the child's life is in danger.

"In this kind of situation," he says, "we favor discussion and negotiation."

Thank you, but I’d be lost without the Google translation. You are needed here!

Same here, I'm happily surprised, Google Translate does a very good job. It's a real improvement from a few years ago when results weren't intelligible

This still appears to be a very dangerous and volatile situation.

From what we know about Côté, he must be a pretty tough guy to negociate with.

This is very worrisome. He’s a bad dude. His son must be so scared.

Pure selfishness on Cote’s part. What a terrible thing to put your child through.

He must be exhausted by now. I don’t see what he could ask for in negotiations, except for food, items and more time with Jake.

His other two children were taken from his home previous to this incident. Maybe he wants to be able to speak with them as well.

I’d be fascinated to hear the dialogue in the negotiations.

Litle Jake must be so frightened knowing that he is 3 years and police is after him also.
