A woman whose son died after she failed to take him to the doctor for a strep infection has been granted day parole.
Tamara Lovett was found guilty of criminal negligence causing death and was handed a three-year sentence in November.
A decision by the Parole Board of Canada last month notes Lovett, who is 49, has been accepted into a community residential facility.
As a condition of her parole, Lovett cannot care for any children under 18, or any otherwise vulnerable person.
She must also continue to attend psychological counselling to address grief and loss, as well as mental health.
The board says Lovett now realizes she had extreme views of conventional medical care at the time of her son Ryan’s death.
