After reviewing a recorded 911 call more extensively, Whitehorse RCMP have found a youth who had left a Mary Lake group home Oct. 21 was directed by the operator to walk back to the facility.

The situation was raised in the legislature earlier this week by Mount Lorne NDP MLA Steve Cardiff, who spoke with the constituent who found the boy hiding in bushes.

He was so cold, his lips were starting to turn blue, Cardiff told the legislature.

The teenager had eventually called the emergency number over the situation.

RCMP originally said Wednesday the boy was not advised to walk back to the facility.

However, Sgt. Roger Lockwood said this morning there was some confusion about the digital files when the call was recorded.

Police had originally listened to only three parts of the conversation rather than the four that made up the phone call, he explained.
