Fans of Canadian sports anchor Dan O’Toole are breathing a sigh of relief today, as he just revealed his 5 week-old daughter Oakland is “safe” hours after he said she was missing.
“My baby Oakland has been found and is said to be safe. Police informed me at 12:07am. I still have not seen Oakland or held her. To those that have decided to attack me for fearing for my daughter’s safety, I don’t know what to say,” O’Toole tweeted on Friday.
“I just hope that you never have to look in the eyes of your own children, and tell them that you don’t know where their sister is, or when they will ever see her again. I am still broken. I don’t know if any of us will ever be fixed. We just want our Oakland back.”
“A 5 week old baby. 5 weeks,” he added.
“A child that was supposed to be in my care. 5 weeks old. I’ve still haven’t seen a picture of her, let alone held her. Yet my character called into question? Attacked. Defamed. People ‘question’ the story? I have no words. I’m done.”
This came one day after the 44 year-old host posted photos of Oakland along with the caption, “praying that whoever has you, is holding you. That whoever has taken you from me, is protecting you. That however (sic) has you, let’s you come back into my arms.”
He has since taken down the photos and wrote that his “amazing ex-wife Corrie has NOTHING to do with this. Please leave her alone.”
Durham Regional Police in Ontario, Canada confirmed that Oakland had been found with her biological mother.
“We have looked into the social media post of a local resident/sports broadcaster regarding an alleged abduction of his baby daughter. Although this was not reported to us, we can confirm the baby has been/continues to be safe with her biological mother in the Peterborough area,” the police department said in a statement, according to Fox News.
O’Toole is the cohost of the show “SC with Jay and Dan” on Canada’s The Sports Network (TSN), and he is the father of two older daughters as well.
