Provincial police ‘scaling back’ search for boy, 3, swept away in flooded river
Ontario Provincial Police say they will “slowly begin scaling back” their search for a missing three-year-old boy who was swept into a swollen river in southwestern Ontario.
In a release Monday evening, OPP say they will be “continually reassessing” the conditions along the stretch of the Grand River where they’ve been searching for Kaden Young.
The toddler was in the family van in the early hours of last Wednesday when the vehicle was swallowed up by the fast-moving river.
His mother managed to get the boy out of the van, but lost her grip in the strong current and he was swept downstream.
