Natasha Kohl said police stopped her after she had dropped her kids off at their grandparents' house in order to do some grocery shopping."I had to stop working to stay home with my kids," Kohl said. "So, an $880 ticket is quite expensive when I'm not working."
"He wasn't able to help me and it was actually my birthday, so I wanted to get home so I could spend the night with him and my kids, so I took them to my father-in-law," Kohl said."When I came back to get my kids, they were having lunch with their uncle and their cousins, so I was in the house with them as they were eating their pizza," Kohl said.
Insane
I don't know if I believe the mom's story. The neighbors are complaining about a party on a day that happens to be her birthday? They must have gathered to celebrate.
Facist cops at their worst.
Some people shouldn’t choose a law enforcement career!!!
Wait wait so a mother gets a damn near $1000 fine for childcare, while a member of the vaccine taskforce Linda Hasenfratz (who makes $12 million a year) travels outside of the COUNTRY- FOR FUN- no fine. I'm so sick of this government fordnation FordfailedOntario
People incised by this should really read the article The woman admits to being at a house with her brother in law and his fiancée, his kids, her kids uncle, her kids cousins, and her parents to “eat pizza” on “her birthday” Police pulled her over following a party complaint 🙄
Disgusting
This is completely ridiculous! Maybe she felt that her children were far safer with their grandparents than being in a jampacked store with strangers. Kids touch everything, they are little germ bags! This whole thing is getting out of control.
I would be all for this if rich people were being cracked down on as well, but as is with all things. money = privilege
kb1883 this is what I was telling you.
DinoProco
This is so blatantly irrational! Was it just a slow day??
This is the most blatantly irrational charge I ever heard of. Was it just a slow day?
This is the world we live in now. Fines for having our own children watched by their own grandparents.
Rules are rules ... we need to adhere to them to stop the spread of Covid ....
All cops are bastards.
Ummm... I would have to know why... health or to provide for her family?
In her tv interview she said she went in and visited while her kids ate pizza.. what a misleading headline... that is a social gathering
🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
Sounds like lots of excuses to hide a birthday party.
Hmmm, I’ve been babysitting my Grandson since the Country went into lock down last March. Where else are they supposed to go when schools are closed down
So I am torn on this one. It is a steep fine, however, she did was EXACTLY what the new 28 day law ordered us to NOT do! Seems trivial and petty on the outside, but what happens if her elderly parents catch Covid? They will potentially add stress to our already stressed ICU's.
I can guarantee Simcoe police have bigger fish to fry. Try getting on top of some of the drug crime that goes on or we'll transfer your budget to the library (which actually does good work).
Tell cops &courts to shove the fine up where the sun doesn't shine
When the rules are incomprehensible there really can't be enforcement.
That’s so dumb. I 100% disagree with this.
Another example of this federal Government, Running this extreme Dictatorship that we as people have been fighting against for years! This is absurd. As soon as this woman proved she dropped her children off for CHILD CARE this should of been over with!!!! Are rights don’t exist!
It was not an essential outing, and there is more to it if the enforcers are receiving numerous complaints. I don’t find this appalling at all, just doing their jobs to keep citizens safe.
Lots of expert comments of this and that yet they dont have kids. Hahaha
jenarnold0814
But let’s allow free flow of flights coming in and out of Ontario, jacka$$s bringing in covid, no test no quarantine. Let’s allow public protests. Let’s allow professional sports teams flying everywhere, then coming back home to Ontario. Dam.
Lesson learned; can’t trust your neighbours. Hope the snitches realize they can’t rely on grandpa to help them if they need.
Figures OPP would do something like that. They literally do nothing else all day!
Title is great for clicks but no sympathy 3 households mixed for this shopping excursion
Wow, I get it from both sides, but seriously Don't blame her why drop the kids off at a germ-filled daycare Kids have been home for more than 14day showing no symptoms. I see people in stores with kids and think why bring your kids out This is getting out of hand..
LOL WOW
Welcome to Germany
I support the OPP! I’m 100% sure this wasn’t the first time! If you can’t afford the fine don’t do the crime!
This is getting out of hand
Maybe should’nt have had lunch
They should fine morons who bring their children grocery shopping.
We are all not on big fat pay cheques
To far
We are not going to stop our lives to do basic things when your precious government officials and doctors are vacationing
Communism
Yet here in Niagara my neighbour can have (different) company everyday without so much as a warning. If story is true, unfortunate but it was a rule. Instacart delivery fee is a lot less.
Was it her Birthday party? Neighbors could have seen the Pizza delivery. Just a observation in her story. 🧐 That's why I live in the country, no one can see in your windows. 😅
So, it was a brother-in-law, his wife, his kids, her kids, grandparents and her fiance. And it was her birthday?🤔 I'm no detective but.....
Not buying her bs.
Wow. That sucks.
Great job Ford..smh
Its is truly sad that this is the world we live in now. First off for the fine they received for taking there kids to family. Second for the neighbors that must have reported them. Come on people time to give all your heads a shake.
Ridiculous
Sounds like there was the grandfather, uncle, cousins, the woman and her 3 kids. That’s three households. And that’s how Covid spreads. It doesn’t take a party.
And all the big box stores only got warning ls this weekend for violations
What the fuck .
What great neighbours. 'Party' in Norfolk county eh.... And we think Canada is a great country with terrific friendly people. 70% of Canadians want to hide in their basements accepting gov't hand-outs and expect the rest of us to inject some foreign substance.
Reggie is going to have an aneurysm if he keeps raging like he has in this thread.
Really? Are we actually ok with this
Sorry but that’s ridiculous. Police should ask some questions and does the name have a part to play?
Unbelievable! Now we gotta dodge the law to visit our grandparents.
So ridiculous, our freedom is being ripped away slowly!! What next...fordnation
This is outrageous!!!
wow
If this is true, I am furious!
I guess the OPP has nothing better to do than to harass a mother dropping of the kids not to take them into a possible Covit beehive
This is insane. They allow all those protestors in Toronto to gather and only fined the organizers. You want people to take this seriously, then shit like this mother’s 880.00 fine happens. Drop her fine and ticket the anti maskers freedum fighters fordnation LeslynLewis
Neighbors are POS.
NaziGermany
That’s none sense 😡 When the police realized it wasn’t a “party” they should have simply drove away!!!
Really
What a joke
Its not about government Its about OPP making money
Parents of young children are being denied the supports necessary to raise children. It’s infuriating
Who reported the parents when trying to find child care anymore when resorting to grandparents as work hours care givers so they all don't next get accused of being only another welfare bum instead? Sounds like a custody dispute might have had something to do with that.
How is it that people don't understand? There's people on my local Facebook group looking for hairdressers and manicurists to come to their home. 🙄
Omg! This is pathetic, do u really think she has money to pay for a babysitter? Really? Now a fine? Crazy man
Seems ok to me. But they teun a blind eye to a Costco with hundreds in line and no control at front door. Need to feed the kids. Maybe if does had balls and want after Costco people would take this more seriously
We are in hell people!!!!!!!
Ridiculous example of over reach and a lack of reasonable approach
This is completely ridiculous. Some common sense goes a long way people. Give your head a shake
Did anyone bother reading it closely? Dropped them off for babysitting, to shop but then had pizza with uncles and cousins, BS only for babysitting- it was her birthday party!! They were having a party!!! Clear violation. There’s a lot more to this...
So didn’t plan ahead and didn’t want to shop later on her birthday. Too bad.
Sorry just don't understand last sentence 'Kohl was fined before the stay-at-home order went into effect and the mother plans to fight the ticket.' 🤔 So why fine 🤔
It’s easy, follow the rules.
That is just discussing.
No way should this woman have been given a ticket. She did the safe thing for her kids by dropping them off with family instead of exposing them while grocery shopping. As a mom, I would have done the same.
Neighbours snitching on Neighbours. Nice.
Bullshit
This is an absolute joke if it is true.
Are right, now come to Brampton and watch these idiots come and go from each other’s homes at all hours of the day.
People are rats. Stay home close your door and dont worry wtf is happening outside.
Sadly, this how the virus keeps spreading. She should have picked a time and day that her fiancée could watch the kids.
These lockdown measures harm the less fortunate more than any virus while the rich scoop up profits.
Ridiculous. My child still goes between her mom's and my house, so far as I am aware, it was encouraged for split families to do this. Do we get fined too? Lol
martaczur Ummm I’d fight that one..... think that was a mistake on the officers part
The laws pathetic
Yet we got told cops cant stop us. Article states, they saw her leave the house and asked her to show where she lived
That’s some expensive birthday pizza.
It was BEFORE the stay at home order went into affect. That’s even worse!
She wasn't fined for dropping them off,she was fined for being at a large gathering. It just happened to be her birthday when this 'trip' supposedly happen. Yeah it was a party.
Is that Mrs Kravits? Fear thy neighbour. Shame them and report them. Is that what we have digressed to?
Do NOT pay. Utter nonsense, it will be thrown out of court by any sensible judge.
Utter Nonsense. The cop should have looked at the big picture not the meddling neighbor.
I don't understand this!!!! So if I don't go to my daughters to babysit the kids then my daughter can't go to work
We’re lockdown. Think about that! it’s said “Children can be very much “A-Symptomatic” so why now would U ask grandparents 2 babysit? W/many struggling over their own family covid19 deaths: Why take that chance? $800 is high but maybe it just saved Nana & Grandpa’s Life! KR
Having shitty/snitch neighbours really sucks :(
This is insane. Whoever laid that fine is human garbage. I wish evil upon them.
How ridiculous what is supposed to do go on welfare and be in poverty. Our corporate operation government and police are a huge problem. Stepping on out right to live and work freely. Our government and police are acting like tarists.
Especially if the parent need a mental health break...
What's the crime here? she was outside? 😂
This is awesome news! Hopefully everyone gets a crazy fine then we all just don't pay them!
This is absolutely unacceptable and getting out of hand. Whoever ‘called this in’ has obviously never struggled with children or needed groceries. This needs to stop. Now.
I wouldn’t take my kids shopping either. But there are ways around the rest of her excuses. Must be more to the story.
Enough is enough . If I wanted to read a joke I’d buy a comedy book
Just say it was sorry and it was a mistake and fordnation will forgive. Right ? Oosterhoff and Phillips proved that.
Ridiculous. Whoever snitched her out hopefully will be punished
My wife is bedridden due to major medical issues (and will be for the foreseeable future), and I have to teach online and care for a toddler at the same time? How in holy fuck am I supposed to do work and pay bills unless I utilize the grandparents as a resource? Fuck the police.
Nowhere to put your kids. Can't take your kids anywhere. Grocery delivery costs way more than in-store prices. Ford should temporarily subsidize grocery delivery costs to match store prices. Support networks, and volunteers. Single parents stuck between rock and hard place.
I've been asking my ex not to drop our daughter off at his parent's house because she is already doing two households. Public health sent reading material to him. I told him that I can take care of our daughter while he goes to work. He refuses to understand.
I'd rip the ticket up right in their faces. I agree with the lockdown and that people need to be safe. The fault here belongs to the grandparents for allowing another son, with his children onto the property when he already had some there. Mom has to grocery shop.
This is sickening
2/2 I have only my husband at home to help and I manage to juggle going shopping alone. Inconvenient - yes? But I do it cuz THATS THE LAW!!!!!!!!!
This is getting ridiculous. All thats going to accomplish is wasting courts time. People will fight these ridiculous fines.
davecarlascio oh good grief!
Are you flipping serious?
She lives in a home with 3 other adults - and she couldn’t plan to do shopping when one of them was home? With such a house full already adding grandparents to the mix isn’t appropriate. How she managed to get an $880 ticket? I suspect there’s more history involved than this.
Have the police lost their minds? Is there no common sense or compassion left?
Genuinely amazing and disturbing number of people in Ontario who don't actually care whether or not the law was broken, they just want someone to punish for the second wave and they really don't care who or why.
Da fuq? I'm in MB, our lockdown has been... tiring, but even the purpose of childcare and transport for means of education were covered in our guidelines and allowed. What is happening to ONT? Seriously? Get rid of Ford. Open for business... what a tool.
Disgraceful ticketing..grow up ontario..ticket the right establishment
Watching people turn on each other in the comments section: Chapter 27
how much does it cost to take care of a person with covid? hopefully all covid fines, will go toward the covid bill.
Read the article....
Another selfish whiny family news story. Pizza lunch with cousins, uncle, grandparents, mom, did I miss anybody......I can’t understand how this virus keeps spreading. If only people knew it travels on people.
Police are not allowed to pull people over to check addresses. Ticket will be dismissed
Defund the OPP and fine Mother's for caring for their children. Makes a lot of sense. TrudeaunaVirus
My
Go gettem coppers
This is too extreme. Parents need to work even during a pandemic, some can’t rely on childcare because they only have limited space, so they ask their parents to watch their kids. This is ridiculous.
While I sympathize with her I do note that she didn't just go and drop the kids off and pick them up. She stayed for lunch. That is NOT dropping the kids off. Regardless she should take it to court.
I understand her frustration as a grocery worker however online grocery pickup is an option. 🤷🏼♀️
Something smells fishy about this story. Don’t assume she’s innocent.
Lots of informers in simcoe
So if she brought her kids shopping then the store or someone shopping would complain and probably end up with a fine complete bullshit
This government has simply overextended their authority and is dictating the way everyone should be living their lives. Where was all this concern when the whole virus started? I didn't see an ounce of it. Now Ford is suddenly a supreme authority? Nah.
Well done fordnation
Righteous neighborhood Rats...more division 🇨🇦 won't trust anybody when Rats lie in waiting to turn you in!
What's ridiculous is ctv using this headline right now. Shameful. Read the story. They had multiple people at this house. The women is creating bullshit for sympathy. She knows what she's doing.
What else are essential workers supposed to do with their children Should I, as a nurse, call in sick instead This is ridiculous.
This is DISGUSTING! Maybe someone should ask Ford et al how this is fair and makes any sense. This is INFURIATING!!! Again, these rules continue to punish regular people.
Wasn't DoFo at his cottage during the stay at home order?
Fuck all this
I was appalled at first. But then read the article. She dropped them off to do grocery shopping? Her fiancé couldn’t help, her birthday, etc. BS. If it was the legit reason like work, I would agree: but to go shopping? Yeah no. It’s called delivery. Or wait for another day/time.
Absurd!
What a joke. Guess that mother misses work for now on
thats allowed tho...as explained by global news....
Easy to target one than to stop planes landing at Pearson with infected travelers dispersing throughout GTA and beyond. Police forces forget that many cops who are mentality challenged need drawings/directions on what and not to do.
Wow This is ridiculous. SO ridiculous and embarrassing!!!
Absolutely RIDICULOUS The officers here are aware of something the public is not...or they were just being JERKS. Really folks! Common sense and a little compassion go a long way in terms of taking care of each other. Neighbour Karen should get a hobby other than being nosy!!!
Huh? There’s gotta be more to this? This seems so strange?
And flights are allowed to operate with everyone cramped into economy class

fordnation is this really helping anything ?
And many grocery stores are only allowing 1 person per family. Can't send kids to school, can't leave them in the car, can't get groceries, incredibly wrong..just like tickets in parks in province in first wave for being in parks but now ok in stay at home order..not confusing?
The JOP won't allow this, the police are clearly doing this shit in retaliation because the guidance to them was more than clear.
fordnation better give some direct orders to PeelPolice. A whole bunch of warnings, very few tickets. He hates his base.
Absurd. What is happening in this nation anyway? Seems like our authorities are cracking. The cracks are just getting bigger and bigger.
Wow 😳 this country and that province needs a makeover but not with Trudeau
Let’s see if Ford steps up and deals with this fine himself for this mother?
That's $880 she could have used for groceries shame
Was this the mother of the cop? He sounds like a gem 💎
This is embarrassing.
This is awful. FordfailedOntario can go to his multi million dollar home in moskokas and FordFailedThePeople can go to York region to make an announcement about another announcement today. But God forbid if you are just trying to look after you're kids.
People will NOT follow rules .
What a rollercoaster, cluster mess! Really people. Caregivers. Babysitters. What about the parent that drops off their kids to daycare? Come on people. Total loss of sanity? Covid fatigue? What a rollercoaster, cluster mess! Expletives withheld.
So, you can take your kids to privatehomedaycare but you can’t take them to their grandparents house? Ridiculous!
CraigSearle1 An initial warning might have been appropriate, but putting the grandparents at risk unnecessarily isn’t very thoughtful, is it?
Wait lol so there was grandparents, her kids, uncles and cousins all at this house. Sounds like they had a few people over. Got caught. And are feeding this innocent narrative for sympathy.
There must be more to the story.
bevrobertson3 This gets worse everyday...what the hell next
Snap
Totally wrong.
The police there lost that fight. Ont.O.P.P
Where's her Gofundme ?
They should go after people who have friends over for entertainment.
Unreal! And then kids will be back in crammed classrooms next week with 100s to 1000s under one roof but that will be the safest because Fatso & Selfie Boy said so. They are hoarding billions in federal funds & should be providing financial assistance to parents during closures.
Yet drug dealers roam free to sell and use !
will they fine the premier for being in vaughan today?
Future Breaking News, - Grandparents die of Covid after babysitting.
OPP_News with another job well done. Dbags
Damn Gestapo
That’s is wrong. Shame on this province
A special place in hell for neighbors who rat each other out.
Sounds like her father in law has some neighbours who deserve a good kick in the teeth to me Hope she fights this and her kids aren't too traumatized.
😂😂 “she didn’t receive a warning” The warning was when we went into lockdown and had to stop working lmao
This is so wrong in so many ways! We are all just doing our best to survive and watching our nickels and dimes!
What a waste of resources,This will go to court and be dismissed
Was she supposed to bring them to work with her
The law was violated. However, caring for your kids better be considered essential. If you have to work, or need some relief and your family/day care is offering, why can't parents have relief? Times are tough as it is now gov saying can't get reasonable care?
Please help, My son has chronic illness (lyme & pyrolle disease). I can no longer afford his medical expenses after losing my job to Covid. He's high risk. We're really struggling and he's been so sick all year. Please RT; I appreciate any support. 🌼🌷
All hail our supreme leader fordnation
Neighbours are aholes lmao wow
Neighbours ratting on each other pretty low
Why fine her she had to go somewhere
Wtf
Oh my 😱
