Friends, neighbours and volunteers joined Heidi Hardy on Thursday as they formed a line and walked through a Blossom Park forest, searching for any trace of Heidi’s missing 13-year-old son, Alexandre Baron.

The slim teen with his new brush cut hasn’t been seen since 2:45 Tuesday afternoon when he stomped out of the family’s Emerald Gate Avenue home in Blossom Park.

“It’s all a parent can ask for, that people care enough to help look for their child,” Hardy said when reached on her cellphone Thursday in the middle of the search.

“I haven’t slept in two days. I’m just waiting at the front door with a pillow and blanket.

Alexandre has never run away from home before, she said, and had no money or bus pass when he left the house. He did have his cellphone, but it’s been dead since the last time it “pinged” a cellphone tower at about 3 p.m. on the afternoon of his disappearance.

He hasn’t contacted his friends, nor has he been on his social media accounts.
