There is a possibility that allegations of child abuse did result in the mother prioritizing the children's well-being over custody battles, and that, upon learning of abuse, the children were immediately delivered to the care of the family doctor. That is the right thing to do in authentic child abuse situations.
If that happened, it resulted in immediate referral to the Alberta Children's Hospital where the children are being, or have been, assessed and treated by medical and health professionals for the possibility of child abuse. Since the Judge ruled on March 12 that the father has sole custody, one has to conclude that there is no child abuse investigation to support claims of abuse.
However, if the mother took allegations of child abuse directly to RCMP during an acrimonious custody dispute, and then became critical of RCMP for not taking action, the I see that as prioritizing custody over the welfare of the children. Injured children must be seen by a medical doctor, not the RCMP.
If the mother's first decision after fearing that the children were injured was to contact RCMP and demand that they prevent the father from access to the children, then we know that the mother's first and foremost priority is not the children's best interest, and that allegations of abuse are most likely unfounded.
