A Quebec judge has ruled in favour of a mother who wants to have her son to receive COVID-19 vaccination without the father’s consent, and has also banned the father 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 also said the child’s father took him to the February trucker convoy protests in Ottawa, claiming he wanted to instill democratic values in the boy. She was against it and argued that such protests were “dangerous” for children.
