A ground search is underway in the southern Alberta town of Raymond, Alta., to find a 10-year-old boy reported missing on Monday morning.
RCMP say Myles Gilbert left his home at 7:45 a.m. Monday to walk to school.
According to Myles’ family, the boy usually walks to school with his sister and they eventually meet up with their cousin, but on Monday he walked alone.
Security cameras at the school didn’t show Myles arriving, and the family says it’s not like him to disappear without any warning.
