MONTREAL – A Montreal woman, whose identity cannot be revealed because her two youngest children are protected under the Youth Protection Act, is suing Batshaw Youth and Family Centres for half a million dollars after her case worker got her pregnant.

She told Global News that she met her social worker Peter Fergus in June 2011 after her infant son was taken into Batshaw’s custody when she was 31-years-old.

She said that she was desperate to get her baby back.

“I thought this was my opportunity to have my son back, since this man cared so much and that felt for me like love,” she said.

According to the mother, the two became intimately involved not long after their first meeting.

Soon after, she fell pregnant, and Fergus ended the relationship.  (more...)
