B.C. sending boy back to U.S. couple
By CP
VANCOUVER -- An aboriginal boy at the centre of a bitter
cross-border custody battle should be turned over to his adoptive
American grandparents, a B.C. Supreme Court judge decided
yesterday.
The four-year-old should be transferred to the Connecticut couple
this Saturday, said Justice Robert Bauman.
The boy's mother and her sister, members of the Swan Lake band
of southern Manitoba, were adopted by the non-native U.S. couple
in 1980.
The child has lived with his biological grandfather since March
1996 -- first in B.C. and now on the southern Manitoba reserve.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled last month the boy should be
returned to the U.S. couple.
The native grandfather's lawyer, John Harvie, has filed a motion
asking the Supreme Court to reconsider the decision.
And another lawyer was in B.C. Supreme Court asking the court
to delay a transfer order.
But Bauman said a transfer to the U.S. grandparents would be a
"cooling-off period" in the best interests of the boy.
