A father accused of breaking his two-week-old baby’s ankles has had his criminal charge stayed by a judge, making it the second known case of alleged child abuse in Ottawa to be tossed out due to court delays since a landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling.

“We were angry, we were crying, we were outraged that he was able to get off with this (ruling),” the boy’s grandmother told the Citizen on Thursday.

In the latest case, the Ottawa man was accused of breaking his son’s bones while he was living with him in September 2014. The boy was taken to Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario for treatment and after an Ottawa police investigation, the father, who was 20 at the time, was charged in December 2014 with assault causing bodily harm.

But nearly two years later, Ontario Court Justice Mitchell Hoffman stayed the charge on Nov. 29, 2016, after ruling the delay in moving the case forward through the court violated the father’s constitutional right to a speedy trial. It would have taken about 24 months from the day the father was charged to the anticipated end of the trial, which never started.
