Nova Scotia mother loses custody of tenth child due to safety concerns

A judge placed a woman's tenth child in the custody of the province because the child would be at 'substantial risk' if returned to its mother

A Nova Scotia mother who had already seen nine of her children placed in the care of others has lost permanent custody of a tenth child.

The mother is identified only by the initials GR in a new decision from the family division of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court. The child in question, identified as N, was taken into the temporary care of the minister of community services at birth and has lived with a foster family ever since.
