A Quebec judge has ruled in favour of a mother who can have her son receive the COVID-19 shots without the father’s consent, and the father is banned from taking the child to participate in COVID-19 protests.
In a ruling dated April 12, Superior Court Justice Nathalie Pelletier sided with the 10-year-old’s mother, who said the father told the child to lie about his age to avoid wearing a mask in public places.
The mother added that the child’s father took him to the trucker convoy protests in Ottawa last winter, claiming he wanted to instil democratic values in the boy. She was against it and argued that protests of such kinds were “dangerous” for children.
