Re: parens law in canada
It is entirely immaterial whether or not your child has had her birth registered; if by asking if the Government has the right to take your child you are asking "can the social workers apprehend her because they say she is in some danger" the answer is yes they most certainly can. If you child was born here, she is a citizen, and by not registering her birth you are committing an offence. You MUST register her birth immediatley.
