Does a state action which interferes with the parent-child relationship restrict a parent's right to security of the person?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from LC v Alberta, 2014 ABQB 183 (CanLII):
Not every state action which interferes with the parent-child relationship will restrict a parent’s right to security of the person. For example, a parent’s security of the person is not restricted when, without more, his or her child is sentenced to jail or conscripted into the army. Nor is it restricted when the child is negligently shot and killed by a police officer: see Augustus v. Gosset, 1996 CanLII 173 (SCC), [1996] 3 S.C.R. 268.
