Lawsuit comes after proposed B.C. class action alleges abuse at Salvation Army’s homes for unwed women

Following a proposed class-action lawsuit against the Salvation Army over its role in operating homes for unmarried mothers until the 1980s, the charity has launched its own lawsuit against child and family services agencies in Manitoba, alleging they breached their duty of care to the women who lived in the homes.

Two years ago, a proposed national class action lawsuit filed against the Salvation Army alleged the Canadian charity took advantage of unmarried soon-to-be mothers who lived in the organization's maternity homes — and allegedly coerced them into placing their newborns up for adoption.

Now, a Manitoba lawsuit filed by the Salvation Army alleges that in that province, it's some child and family services agencies who bear responsibility for any coercion during adoptions.
