Really strange story. Would this have happened had they been travelling with valid passports, or was it because they were using fake passports that they ended up being detained? The boy is a Canadian citizen and I would say it's Ottawa's responsibility to intervene. It's strange that the boy is a Canadian citizen but basically can't live in Canada because his parents aren't citizens; I understand that this law is probably set up to prevent refugees from having children while in Canada as a way of gaining citizenship. Still seems wrong, though.
