A Canadian judge has temporarily suspended an unvaccinated father’s custody of his three children, ruling that he poses a health threat to his immunocompromised daughter.

Court of Queen’s Bench Judge Nathalie Godbout’s decision was issued Monday, in which she stated it was “with a heavy heart” she prohibited the father’s in-person access to his children but noted she allowed him “generous” time to parent his children via phone or video, the Canadian Press reported. Godbout stated the man’s vaccination status bears consequences for him and his family, adding that the children “must be given their best possible chance at evading infection from COVID-19.”
