FOSTER HOME CLOSED OVER EASTER BUNNY

  "There is ample evidence to support the fact that the children were removed because the Baars refused to either tell or imply that the Easter Bunny was delivering chocolate to the Baars' home," Superior Court Judge A.J. Goodman wrote in a decision released Tuesday. "I am more than satisfied that the society actions interfered substantially with the Baars' religious beliefs."
   Court heard that CAS support worker Tracey Lindsay had visited the Baars and acknowledged that the girls looked well cared for in all respects.
   However, the Baars argued Lindsay told them it was part of their duty as foster parents to teach the girls about the Easter Bunny, court documents show. A couple's charter rights were violated when a children's aid society closed the pair's foster home over their refusal to tell two young girls the Easter Bunny is real, an Ontario court has ruled.
