An eight-year-old boy has been reunited with his mother, after he was reported missing when he didn’t show up to school Tuesday.

Tyler Cadougan was located around 3:15 p.m., after police searched for him for several hours.

He had been last seen leaving his home near Finch Ave W. and Islington Ave., around 7:50 a.m. Tuesday morning.

Police say that before he left for school Cadougan had gotten into an argument with his mother. “It was a simple mother-son argument. He wanted to take something to school, and mom said no,” said Const. Caroline de Kloet of Toronto Police.

Cadougan normally takes the bus to school by himself, but did not board the bus, or arrive at his school.

Police were called about the missing boy just after 10 a.m., and said at the time there was concern for his safety.

A search of the area was underway involving both 31 Division and 23 Division of Toronto police. The mounted unit was also called in to assist. Police searched through the Albion mall, which Cadougan was known to frequent, but did not find him there.

Police set up a command post Tuesday morning, which eventually moved to the parking lot outside the Islington and Finch arena.

No Amber Alert was issued for Cadougan, and police did not expect one to be issued. Const. Victor Kwong of Toronto police explained that an Amber Alert is only issued in situations where the OPP suspect foul play, but that no foul play was suspected in Cadougan’s case.

“Nothing at all has indicated foul play,” Kwong said before the boy was found. “He’s upset, he’s an eight-year-old boy who’s upset because his mom wouldn’t let him bring his skateboard to school.”
