Calgary woman convicted in son’s strep death granted day parole
CALGARY — A woman whose son died after she failed to take him to the doctor for a strep infection has been granted day parole.
Tamara Lovett, 49, was convicted of criminal negligence causing death early last year and was sentenced to three years in November.
“When asked who you held responsible for the death of your son, you emphatically stated that only you were to blame,” the Parole Board of Canada said in its June 14 decision.
“Speaking with the board about your son’s death was emotional for you. You stated that, prior to your son’s death, you were ‘not in the right mindset’ and you held views regarding conventional medical care that you have since realized were extreme and unsupportable.”
