B.C. boy with mysterious broken bones returned to parents after abuse ruled out
VANCOUVER — While watching their son and daughter play in a home near Vancouver’s children’s hospital, a couple from northern British Columbia received the news they had been praying for.
The Ministry of Children and Family Development had seized their two children for the second time in October, because their five-year-old son kept suffering unexplained broken bones.
During an interview, the father read an email from their lawyer out loud. It said the ministry was officially returning the kids to their parents’ care.
“They state there’s no reason for the director’s continued involvement,” the father read, his voice trembling with excitement. “They are, as of 9:15 a.m. this morning, out of your lives.”
