A missing North York boy who became the subject of a province-wide police search on Saturday has been found alive and well.

Joshua Low, 8, was reunited with his father late Saturday night.

The boy and his mother went missing more than a week ago. Police issued a province-wide Amber Alert Saturday evening after they received information that caused them to fear for Joshua’s safety.

Joshua and mother Jessica Low-Zheng, 45, disappeared from their home in a subdivision near McNicoll Ave. and Don Mills Rd. on April 13. Police received a call that day and arrived at the family home, where the father answered the door and said his wife had taken their son “for unknown reasons.”

Officers launched a missing person’s investigation and received a number of leads over the last week. They located the mother and son Saturday night around 11:30 p.m.

Earlier that day police received a tip that the boy’s safety may have been at risk. Toronto police Const. Tony Vella refused to provide details on the nature of the tip, but said investigators were “quite concerned” by the information.

Officers contacted the Ontario Provincial Police Saturday evening to request an Amber Alert, a warning system activated by police when they believe an abducted child under 18 is in “imminent danger.”

The mother was taken into police custody Saturday night, according to Det. Mark Charuk.
