VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s privacy commissioner is looking into whether personal information about a family involved in a child sexual abuse case has been shared.
The mother — identified as J.P. in court documents — won a lawsuit against the province after social workers let her estranged husband molest their toddler in foster care.

The government is appealing.
Former senior civil servant Bob Plecas is also reviewing the case, but J.P. has filed a complaint saying the Ministry of Child and Family Development cannot share her information with him.
Documents show the mother wants assurances that no one, including Plecas or the province, will see her family’s information.
The ministry says it expected privacy concerns to be raised and is co-operating with the investigation.
