The mother of the Granby girl who died last April as a result of ill-treatment plans to file a lawsuit of more than $ 5 million in civil suits by the end of September, according to TVA Nouvelles news on Saturday.
Montreal lawyer Valérie Assouline, who represents the mother for free, said the lawsuit would target the Youth Protection Branch (DYP), as well as other organizations.
"We are pursuing all the players who should have defended this child. There were a lot of speakers. We are talking about the DYP, which was supposed to protect her and who did not do it, we are talking about hospitals, doctors, schools, the school board, "she explained in an interview.
"The mother denounced, decried what she saw. We are talking about a child who has died over the years. Who was quite healthy when she was at her grandmother's, and then was visibly dying. How come nobody has acted to protect this child? "Asked the lawyer.
It should be remembered that the girl's father will return to court Thursday to try to obtain his freedom pending further proceedings.
The father is accused of criminal negligence causing death, kidnapping, abandonment of a child and failing to provide the necessaries of life for his daughter while in need.
The child's mother-in-law is facing charges of unpremeditated murder.
