THUNDER BAY — A foster mom in Thunder Bay worries that allowing foster children to see their parents and siblings during the COVID-19 pandemic is jeopardizing the safety of all concerned.
The woman, whom TBNewswatch has agreed not to identify in order to protect the identity of her foster child, says the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services and the Children's Aid Society are going against the specific direction of health officials.
"All foster parents got a letter stating that it's business as usual even though we're in lockdown. They're going back to their parents for visits...or to siblings," she said.
