After the controversy of a toddler passing away at an unlicensed Vaughan, Ont. daycare last month, the child’s parents have announced to have launched a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against the daycare center and the province. The parents, Ekaterina Evtopva and Vycheslav Ravikovich, are scheduled to address a press conference on Thursday morning, which will elaborate on their 21-month-old daughter Eva Ravikovich’s death.

The couple has asked for a $3.5-million settlement in light of recent revelations from a Ministry of Education spokesperson, who confessed that three complaints were filed regarding the number of children attending the daycare, though only the last one was acted upon. Eva Ravikovich was found dead in early July after York region police were called to the home daycare located near Dufferin Street and Highway 407. Even though the actual cause of death remains allusive of public eye, the coroner has shared the information with the family, and it is anticipated to come out in the press conference.

Upon their one and only inspection of the daycare center in November 2012, its operator was strictly warned by the officers to lessen the number of children, according to the law, under the age of 10 being cared for. The law indicates that any unlicensed home-based child care provider is only allowed to take care of a maximum of five children under the age of 10, in addition to any of their own. However, police reports to have found a massive number of 27 children at the daycare upon their inspective visit.
