A woman with Métis roots whose 10-year-old daughter was placed in the permanent care of Alberta Child and Family Services (CFS) because she kept taking her to the doctor to diagnose ailments the little girl didn’t have has lost her bid to get the child back using pseudo-legal arguments.

The mom, identified only as MD in a recent decision out of Calgary’s Court of King’s Bench, wanted the judge to fine Alberta $100 million for each year she was separated from her daughter.
