Deeply worried, the mother of a 16-year-old boy from Montreal’s South Shore who has been missing for days is fighting to find him safe and sound.
“I want him to know that the whole family loves him and that we’re here to help him. He needs to come back,” sighed Melissa Duplantis Olette, 36.
On January 24, Loick Charlebois-Bruce was last seen around 7pm in the Saint-Hubert area of Longueuil. Melissa Duplantis Ouellet says that before she left, she told her father she was having suicidal thoughts, which made him fear for her safety.
“I tried to write to him, but his phone is switched off. I wrote to him that I was worried and that I love him,” she adds, shocked by the turn of events.

“I got two addresses from a source who knew where he was hiding, but he might already be gone. The parents who live at these addresses say they’ve never seen Laic,” laments Melissa LaRose.
Call for help
On social media, the teenager’s mother pleaded with the parents of Lok’s friends to bring him home.
