The Whistler RCMP is asking for the public's help in identifying the family of a child found in Whistler Village last night.
On Saturday, Sept. 7 at about 10:05 p.m., the Whistler RCMP received a report of an unaccompanied child at the Dairy Queen located at 4338 Main St.
"The boy, believed to be approximately 12 years old, was found to be barefoot, and completely non-verbal," a release said. "While the investigation has continued through the night, there is no indication where the child came from or who his family is."
The boy is described as about 12 years old, with a light brown complexion, short brown hair, and brown eyes. He is non-verbal, and was found wearing a green T-shirt with a button collar, and heather-grey shorts.
Anyone who recognizes the boy or who has any information about his family is urged to contact the Whistler RCMP at 604-905-3044 immediately.
