Tragedy here in Toronto today.....
Toronto three-year-old found without vital signs after wandering outdoors overnight | National Post

I am so upset about this little boy.... to have your child wander into the frigid cold night.... unimaginable. As a mother if my babies woke up I always wake up too but a grandparent might not as these ones didn't. What they must be going though is the worst kind of agony. My thoughts and prayers are with this family. Count your blessings people... like is precious and it can turn on a dime.

I've been following this since I woke up.
It was like -37 out last night. I'm not far from Toronto.
I really hope this lil guy pulls through. This is so heartbreaking.

It's been a heart-breaking story. There is a security camera photo of the little guy which shows him in the foyer of his building, alone, at 4am, heading outside. Just horrible.
