[@r.r.6863]

When our brother was 14, he did not come home one night when he clearly stated he’d be home at 11 pm. We could not locate or contact the friend he went out with (also 14). Worried sick, very early the next morning we called the non-emergency police number in Calgary. The officer who took the call totally didn’t give a shit. He’s just out with his friends. We tried to give as much information as possible. Their ages. They never did this before. This was very unusual. The other family cannot locate their son either. This was pre-cellphone era. The officer (I should say POS) became impatient, kept dismissing every thing we said, he was cruel & heartless. I asked him why he was a cop which made him angry. Very unprofessional cop was not going to do anything or process our call any further. It was mind blowing that he didn’t listen to anything we said. Turns out my brother & his friend met two older guys who took them to a party outside the city and left them there! The two took hours to walk back home in the dark but also slept in a field in the early morning hours. They arrived home in the afternoon starving, hungry, dusty, and in so much foot pain. They never went out without a quarter ever again! I’m grateful my brother was safe but cops then and today need empathy training and coaching on how to be human being toward families worried or in distress. Our situation turned out ok. I’m so sorry this mom received cruel treatment from the police. Condolences to all the family and friends. 💔

[@karinhaland-kinnapel9219]

I am actually 100% sure that the Journalist did not mean anything bad by the words; "Can a mother get over losing a son"...I don't think it was meant as a question at all , I think she said these words more to ascertain a heartbreaking fact to all of us listening , because believe me Not all people actually have enough empathy to understand that a mother will never ever get over the loss of a son/daughter..At least that's how I interpreted the words because I've heard so many times how much compassion and consideration this Journalist has for the victims and their families. She is a nice person with her heart in the right place, she would never say anything to hurt anyone, especially not a mother who is completely broken with grief and pain...

The gaslighting is unreal. I don't believe a word of these alleged 'sightings'. He met his end at that party and for some reason the RCMP, as usual, were in cahoots with criminals and covered it up. Hospitalizing the mother, then attempting to convince her that he was alive and well are their usual manipulation tactics. Phil is guilty. Wearing his clothes, removing photos, drugging his friend, were all actions of a GUILTY person. RIP Charles and strength and love to his mother. ❤

[@lunagoodhart5489]

I agree that the RMCP lied when they said they were believed he was alive and seen years after he was last seen at the campground. It was a tainted identification through photos. They know something happened to him at that campground but they botched the investigation from day one and never wanted to turn it around. Reminds me of the case of an Australian man Owen who disappeared in Canada after going to a music festival. He was assaulted & ended up disappearing from the hospital. I can't remember how many years it was before they found some of his remains in the forest. RMCP bodges that investigation and treated Owen's family poorly.

The RCMP guy said there is no evidence of foul play! How about the Tiny Town manager wearing his clothes after disposing of his passport and all the other belongings he didn't use. The RCMP didn't find evidence because they didn't seem to do much investigating when he went missing for the first 3 years. They didn't do anything until his mum travelled there and got leads and the media got involved. They obviously haven't seen the shows about The First 48 or The First 72 - its much harder to find evidence after the first couple of days. If there was evidence its pretty unlikely RCMP would find it.

What up with the silence from other family members?

[@Liliarthan]

Good questions. One can only assume that he was out of the picture. Could have died or maybe have no relationship with Dennis and Charles. Dennis is such an extraordinary woman who did a remarkable job raising a lovely young man who had a loving relationship with her. She deserved to be treated so so much better. I usually refrain from imagining and wishing that the crimes didn’t happen in true crime cases because I know it wouldn’t change anything and I’d just end up too upset. But in this case I really really wished Charles went home to his mother instead of going to that awful place and for them to have spent their lives together. She’s been alone for all these years and seems alone now. It absolutely breaks my heart. As a mother, I can imagine myself doing the same as she did. 😔

Charles mother was and is a remarkable woman. She has gone on to advocate for the missing loved ones from peoples worlds. She and others who have missing loved ones have also gone on to form the Missing People's Choir who perform to keep their loved ones in peoples minds and to hopefully find them. The choir came to the general publics notice when they performed on BGT UK, and won the hearts of millions around the world who also had missing loved ones. The BGT platform made a huge difference to their cause. I hope that sometime they have the answers.

Cautious does not mean callous & derisive, & disrespectful of the grief of a mother. Shame on them all.

[@goredoll]

What an appalling way to treat his mother. It’s truly shameful.

Its still so weird seeing my hometown in amy video. Good morning from Kelowna! ✌️

[@hillbillyhank-h9x]

i live here and the people are cold and ruthless despite the picture perfevt scenery theres a ton of crime here as well tons of theft and drug addicts everywhere even hiding in bushes

What are the people who live on the lake like? I’ve visited once and it seems like there’s a local population and perhaps a large seasonal population as well (people who can afford holiday lake houses and jet skis). Just wondering what the relationship is like between the populations and if the RCMP treated everyone the same (like garbage, apparently).

[@Liliarthan]

Also, is there a strong gang presence there?

[@Ketowski]

@@Liliarthan Probably. There is in most places where there’s a Port, especially where there is nice or mild weather.

Wow that was tough to watch! Poor mum!

I'm so sorry for this mothers loss❤.....and I hope she will get her answers.

Campground manager Phil Flett passed away in September 2021 by Covid 19. Phil kept his active lifestyle going while refusing vaccinations and justice was done.

[@phylliskumi4355]

Such a terrible story. My sympathies to the mother. May God reveal the whereabouts of this young man and the circumstances of his disapperance.

[@asahel980]

Its always a money issue when someone is reported missing , they dont take them seriously first because they cant possibly mobilize a search and rescue operation everytime someone is reported missing. and yet Ive seen some cases that police acted so quickly because they know someone in the police or very rich and/or connected.

[@lizmonard]

This is so sad, and so badly managed. There is nothing worse than a missing loved one.

[@arcticgoddess]

When a missing persons investigation of a relatively normal individual has progressed to news coverage, the chance that they have 'run away because they wanted to' by a dumbass cop is stupid and insulting. Shameful story

[@tnkn969]

Heart broke for this mom.

[@theodorebandamartin]

wow..the poor mother..what she had to go through..tough tough brave woman 🙏💔

[@trishaprett7721]

Obviously no hope of justice in Canada at the time.What is worse their lack of respect for victims ‘families.What a wonderful mother.

[@verityowens9638]

I cant see him hiding from his mum.People are so stup.d! Just because she wont hive up on her child she is judged.

[@denisewarner8287]

I am 22 mins in...the shameful way the paramedics treated Denise is HORRENDOUS beyond belief. The Canadian police have a lot to answer for in the way they treated this lovely lady who was/is just trying to find her son.

[@verityowens9638]

Omg! A mother looking for her son and ends up in a mental hospital.Seems she had no support and they lacked compassion for a grieving mother.Shameful Canada

[@MichaelWalsh-qn3ef]

Best of luck to Mum. I hope peace finds you soon.

[@Ghost_Rider_786]

Why didnt the father of Charles lift a finger to help find him ? What kind of lame excuse of a man is he ?
