Father of 5-year-old Ontario girl in Tuesday Amber Alert won't be charged

The father of a five-year-old girl who was the subject of an Amber Alert on Tuesday will not be charged, police say.

It was issued Tuesday evening after a 25-year-old signed his 5-year-old daughter out of her classroom at a school in Markham.

Initially, police said the father was not supposed to have access to the child.

At approximately 6:12 pm, York Regional Police tweeted that the girl was found in good health and the father was then taken into custody.

On Wednesday morning, Const. Andy Pattenden of the York Regional Police told Daily Hive Toronto that the dad will not be charged.
