Description
When Bonnie Mooney's ex-partner threatened and chased her, she went to the RCMP for help. After hearing her complaint against Ronald Kruska and reviewing Kruska's lengthy record of violent offences, Constable Andrichuk told Mooney there was little he could do. Rather than investigating, as required by a provincial domestic abuse policy, he advised her to "stay in public places." Seven weeks later, Kruska broke into Mooney's isolated home with a shotgun, wounding Mooney's twelve-year-old daughter and killing a friend who was staying with Mooney. Mooney and her two daughters, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, sued Constable Andrichuk and the governments of British Columbia and Canada. Both the trial judge and the British Columbia Court of Appeal found that the claim must fail, as causation could not be established.
