BARRIE, Ont. - A mother from Barrie, Ont., is demanding an apology after the Children's Aid Society launched an investigation into sexual abuse allegations that came from a psychic.
Colleen Leduc says her daughter Victoria's teaching assistant visited a psychic who asked if she taught a girl whose name started with the letter "V."
The psychic then went on to tell her that the 11-year-old, who is autistic and non-verbal, was being abused by a young man.
The assistant told school officials who in turn called in the Children's Aid Society.
Leduc says a Children's Aid official visited her home but closed the file and called the report "ridiculous."
Under the Child and Family Services Act, anyone who works with children and has reasonable grounds to suspect a youngster is being harmed must report it immediately - and the CAS has an obligation to follow up.
The school board plans to launch its own investigation into the incident.
Leduc is now seeking legal advice and says she's pulled her daughter out of school and is off work so she can take care of her.
