Family was in 'bad condition' after parents found barefoot, children without hats, gloves
A family of four, including two children aged one and two, was rescued by the RCMP overnight Thursday after crossing the American border into Canada and becoming lost in the woods in Havelock, Que.
RCMP Cpl. Martina Pillarova said the four were suffering from severe hypothermia when they were found.
"They were in a very bad state," she said. "They were not able to move anymore. They were frozen."
Pillarova said the family possibly became lost in the woods after crossing the border and had been walking for hours before the mother called 911.
"It was the [Sûreté du Québec] who received a call and they called us for assistance at around 3:15 in the morning," Pillarova said.
That call, she explained, allowed police to get GPS co-ordinates of their approximate location and narrow down the search area.
They were located within an hour in the forest, sitting huddled beneath a tree and unable to move.
The parents were found barefoot, having lost their boots in some sort of body of water, according to Pillarova, and the children were not dressed for winter weather.
"The children were dressed only in shoes and sneakers, no hats, no gloves. So they were in a bad, bad condition," she said.
The family members were transported out of the woods to a waiting ambulance, with the mother carried on a sled, the two young children in the arms of officers and the father being rescued a short time later.
Pillarova said the ambulance was waiting roughly one kilometre away from the rescue site, on Covey Hill Road in Havelock.
The Sûreté du Québec and local firefighters assisted in the rescue operation.
As of Friday afternoon, Pillarova reported that all four family members remained in hospital and were in stable condition.
The RCMP confirmed the family asked for refugee status and the Canadian Border Services Agency are now in charge of the file.
It's Canada and it's February... Catch a clue.
BTW - Notice that there is no mention of these illegal immigrants actual nationality? I hope they enjoy the hotel and monthly cash payout that they will receive in Canada, while they wait years for the government bureaucracy to decide their fate.
Well - the idiot parents learned a valuable lesson...
Canada ain’t like Guatemala in the winter!
When they asked for asylum, did they mean insane asylum?
Did they speak Spanish, or French?
Maybe Somalis from Maine. Leaving because Maine is too lefty.
It’s hard to believe people are that stupid. They do not deserve to breed.
Smells like bovine excrement to me. Theres more to this story.
I’m not saying this is why they were underdressed, people with hypothermia can start to feel warm and take their clothes off. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/541627/
Trump paddles, staged Trudeau style. Thus story is a psy-ops media tactic.
On same page is a link about a man who froze to death trying to leave Canada for the USA.
“Fritznel Richard, the 44-year-old Haitian man who was found dead in 2023 after trying to cross into the United States, likely experienced hypothermia before drowning in shallow water.
Coroner Andre-H. Dandavino says Richard was found on Jan. 4, 2023 in a ditch containing 45 centimetres of water near the U.S. border in St-Bernard-de-Lacolle, Que.
The report says Richard had been living in Montreal for two years but wanted to join his wife in the United States, and attempted to cross the border on foot through some fields on Dec. 23, 2022."
Very confusing combination of events.
psy-ops?
Correct.
The article was most lacking. Surprised it even included a date at the top.
“ Thus story is a psy-ops media tactic.”
I agree.
Bump
It never happened.
Yup.
Pure anti Trump propaganda.
Not working.
Yup.
Soon AOC will be up there there to cry by an empty snow fence.
Be funny if it was a pair of white American lefties (hapless babies in tow) running for Canada because they’re scared of Trump.
Was the family’s last name Smollett?
This article is too politically censored to understand what happened.
