Social Services: Quebec

Quebec: Members of the Lev Tahor community of about 200 people -- about half of them children-- were under investigation by social services in Quebec for a host of issues including hygiene, children's health and allegations that the children weren't learning according the Quebec curriculum, according to CTV. Quebec child-welfare officials said on Monday they briefed their counterparts in Ontario on the case and would wait to see how authorities in Chatham-Kent and Windsor, Ont., decide to proceed and MONTREAL -- Child-welfare authorities and local police in Ontario say they found nothing unusual when they checked in on an ultra-Orthodox Jewish sect that fled to that province last week amid allegations of child neglect. The community denies any mistreatment of the children, but left Quebec a little more than a week ago and ended up settling in southwestern Ontario. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
