Saskatchewan and Alberta AMBER alert

So if there is both a pregnant child and a step parent, what happens to the statistics then?

The kids turned themselves in to Swift Current police tonight at 7:20 pm.

She was actually living with her sister, from what I understand.

Sorry- what I meant was she is a minor and with a male who is not her guardian. If this 16 year old is the father there maybe some statutory rape issues. (Again sorry if this is not the legal term.) Please correct me if the 16 year old is not considered an adult in Saskatchewan for this kind of legal issue.

I think the Feds altered it a while ago. It is statutory if the girl is 14-16 and the guy is over 18. I think a boyfriend under 18 is legal.

I seem to remember that Fowler. I was not sure. Any news this morning?

RCMP in Saskatchewan have cancelled an Amber Alert for a missing 14-year-old girl after she was found safe.

The girl, who is eight months pregnant, turned up at a Swift Current RCMP detachment Thursday evening, police said.

Police feared for the girl’s safety after her family reported that two masked intruders barged into their home Wednesday night and took her. It was believed that one of them was her 16-year-old boyfriend.

The boyfriend’s mother later said that the alleged abduction was just a misunderstanding. Police said the boyfriend’s family brought both teens to the RCMP detachment, hours after police began their search for the girl.

If masked men came into a house with a club and demanded a 14 year old girl pack her bags and leave with them, I would be little concerned as well. She had just publicly broken up with him on Facebook and changed her status to single. One of the masked men was the father of her unborn child. I would have no doubt this was an abusive controlling relationship.

I recall a similar situation happening in northern Alberta about 20 years ago. The man hid with his pregnant girlfriend in the northern woods for a couple weeks.
