I am a huge supporter of LE, and have the utmost respect for the work they do. In this case, I'm frustrated with the RCMP. I think they should have listened to the father and not have tunnel vision. Are the odds the child is in the river? Most likely. But a parents intuition always supersedes probabilities in my books. That invisible thread that connects parent and child is inexplicable, and produces many unexplained "knowings". I think LE needs to take a fresh look at the case, and listen to Mr. Kouakou.
I stand with the father.
I totally agree with you. It has never been reported that the Montreal police have asked for assistance from other police forces in this case. The RCMP have jurisdiction outside of major cities and in this case, they wouldn't be involved imo. But Ariel's father initiated a petition to urge the province to create a joint specialized response unit for presumed kidnappings. We all recall when Ariel's dad went to the precinct to report his son missing, he was told to go home and phone it in in to the proper phone number. When you are reporting a missing nine year old child, that lack of attention and caring is appalling. Obviously Montreal police need more training in their response and action of reported missing kids.
