LONDON, Ont. -- A London couple was devastated when their happy, seemingly healthy eight-day-old baby boy died suddenly.
But then the Canada Revenue Agency asked for their baby bonus back, adding insult to injury.
Ashley Lisabeth and her fiance Frank Greco were overjoyed when they found out they were going to have a baby.
"Our whole life changed," said Lisabeth, an office assistant at Anderson's Electronics. "Everything in our life changed because of Emmett. We bought our first house together, we really started thinking about our future."
But eight days after their son, Emmett Richard Greco was born on Aug. 2, 2015, he died from a rare condition called myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart.
Lisabeth and Greco were shattered.
They called the government to say their son had died and the monthly baby bonus cheques - now called the Canada Child Benefit - could stop.
But when they got in touch with a government official, they say they were told they had to return the baby bonus they'd received for August.
