A 14-year-old boy, who was abducted as retribution for his stepbrother’s alleged drug debt, only remembers being pushed into the car and then waking up wearing construction clothing in a barn, his uncle says.
An Amber Alert was issued for the boy on Wednesday evening after he was forcibly pushed into a Jeep Wrangler around 8:30 a.m. in the area of Jane Street and Driftwood Avenue.
At the time, witnesses told police that they heard a boy screaming “help me, help me” as two men forced him into a vehicle.
Nearly 40 hours after being taken off the street, the boy was found by police “dishevelled” but safe inside an abandoned barn north-west of the city.
“When he woke up he found himself in the barn,” the boy’s uncle told CTV News Toronto on Friday. “He was in a construction uniform. They put that on him.”
“He was asleep the whole time. He doesn’t know anything.”
“He remembers being taken and was saying “help, help,” but then they pushed him in the car and that was it … He only remembers waking up.”
