Mounties said the boy, believed to be about five years old, was found by himself at the Hunting Hills High School on Lockwood Avenue just before 9 a.m.

Officers canvassed the area but didn’t find his family. As of 1 p.m., no reports of a missing child had been made.

At about 7 p.m., Mounties said the boy’s parents had been found and they urged people to be considerate regarding the situation.

“We are also asking that people be kind – you don’t know all circumstances surrounding an investigation. Comments on social media have not been kind," RCMP said in a release.
