Staff Writer

Friday's Amber Alert in Ontario ended in good news after the missing 11-month-old was found and .

But the 4 a.m. message didn't please everybody, according to Niagara Police, who shared a violent rant they received in their social media inbox and asked Ontarians to "#bebetter."

"TAKE YOUR B*LLS**T AMBER ALERTS OFF MY PHONE," the message reads. "I DONT GIVE A FLYING F**K ABOUT A KID THAT AINT MINE YOUR HURRASSING PEOPLE YOU WAKE ME AGAIN ILL BE COMING INTO THE STATION AND U WONT LIKE ME BERY MUCH."

The police account received plenty of messages of support, including one from the Peel Parademics Union: "Tell them you're calling the grammar police," the union tweeted.
