A Cape Breton mother has lost her son because he is dangerously overweight.

A judge removed the child, indentified only by the initials B.F. from his mother’s care because at the age of 5 he weighed 132 pounds when he was taken into custody by Community Services in 2015.  Justice Robert Gregan said the child was in danger of liver and other organ damage.  He has now dropped to 80 pounds.   The judge also pointed out the mother failed to deal with behavoural issues like ADHD.

He refused to allow either of the boy’s parents to visit, saying it would disrupt the progress he’s making.

A Sydney man is going to prison for six years for multiple sexual assaults and forcible confinement.

22 year old Tyler Rudderham was found guilty of multiple counts and yesterday the judge gave him six years.  With crdit for time served in custody, he has two years and four months left.  He initially was charged with 37 offences in Sydney between December of 2013 and September of 2014, and was found guilty on 23 involving the same woman who suffered permanent nerve damage to her face.
