A two-year-old boy has been reunited with his mother after police say he was found wandering the streets in Oshawa, wearing only a diaper.

Durham Region police say the toddler was spotted by a driver at around 3:45 a.m. Wednesday.

They say the driver stopped to help and then called police.

They checked the child out just to make sure he wasn’t exposed to the elements for too long,” said media officer George Tudos.

“It wasn’t too cold, but for a child just wearing a diaper, I can imagine it was pretty cold.”

Investigators say they were eventually able to get in contact with the boy’s mother and the two were reunited.

They say there are no charges at this time.

“Somehow, he just managed to get out the door,” said Tudos.
