Ex foster parents fail to win custody of children
Three Calgary area youths will not return to Mervin and Evelyn Peters who fostered them from 1975 to 1979. Alberta Ombudsman Randall Ivany confirmed a prior decision by the provincial Social Services that the children should remain with their natural mother in Medicine Hat. The mother and her partner were jailed for sexual assaults on a 12 year old daughter, and authorities say the children should stay in the care system. Names are withheld to protect the juveniles.

New Service Information Controls Proposed
Strict limits on data collection by the new service are urged along with changes to federal and provincial laws to permit physical surveillance by service members. The plan outlines guidelines for undercover work, bans on illegal acts, and approved forms of deception. It also allows sharing government data on individuals with security forces under defined conditions and calls for reviews of RCMP investigative controls by federal and provincial ministers.
