The Quebec government has put a branch of the province’s youth protection office under trusteeship following a report that Quebec’s human rights commission has identified dozens of violations of children’s rights.

The move Wednesday came hours after La Presse revealed that an internal rights commission document found the youth protection office serving central Quebec and the Mauricie region is removing children from their parents too quickly.
