If I remember correctly my Miami Vice, the son’s of diplomats have immunity and can’t be detained.

In Hollywood, anything is possible.

In the real world, as per the article:

If Dube’s son is charged with criminal offences, he cannot rely on diplomatic immunity for protection, said Adam Barratt, a spokesman for Foreign Affairs. “Dependents of consular officials enjoy no immunity whatsoever,” he said.

Willy Wonka's take on it.

Later media reports in Canada make no mention of diplomatic immunity for the kid. I don't think he has any, he is on his own. Also Canada can waive diplomatic immunity if it exists. That would be a distinct possibility in this case.

FYI the father is quoted as saying the youngster was "a perfect kid". I'm thinking not so much.
