Foster Care and Superior Court Justice Lynda Templeton

Superior Court Justice Lynda Templeton: Superior Court Justice Lynda Templeton who will be deciding whether the children in the case should be reunited with their parents or remain in foster care told the members of the Lev Tahor community that she was concerned about the kid's legal rights, not their religious affiliation. , according to Hamilton Spectator. The appeal being heard by Templeton relates to an order by an Ontario judge, who upheld a Quebec court order that forced 14 children into foster care. Certain families in the community face unproven allegations of mistreatment, forced marriages and child marriages. Families from an ultra-orthodox Jewish sect who fled the country last month in the midst of a child custody case were chided by an Ontario judge on Friday for not allowing the country's courts to do their work. "Your children are not Lev Tahor children to me, they are just children," she said in Chatham. "I don't see them as religious entities or gender entities. I do not see them as any other entity than small human beings that have rights." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
