An Ontario Superior Court judge has ordered a Toronto man to continue paying child support even though a DNA test shows he is not the biological father of his ex-wife’s twins.
In her ruling, Madam Justice Katherine van Rensburg decided that even though Pasqualino Cornelio did not father twins – now 16 – with Anciolina Cornelio, he must continue to pay child support because “he was the only father the twins knew during the course of the marriage.”

SAO PAULO (Reuters) – A little-known Brazilian farming town with sugar cane wealth is set to upstage Rio de Janeiro by erecting a statue of Christ that will eclipse its famous equivalent atop Rio’s Corcovado mountain.
The Christ statue in Sertaozinho, northwest of Sao Paulo city, will be 187 feet (57 meters) tall when perched on its 128 foot (39-metre) pedestal, Brazilian daily newspaper Folha de Sao Paulo said on Tuesday.
Rio’s iconic statue overlooking the beach-side city measures up at 98.4 feet (30 meters) high, but its much shorter pedestal gives it a total height of just 125 feet (38 meters).
“Far from a pretense of grandeur, we’re thinking about visibility,” said Nerio Costa, mayor of the town 206 miles (330 kilometres) from Sao Paulo which hopes to inaugurate the 1.5 million reais ($681,000) structure at Easter.
During jiujitsu lessons Tuesday evening, instructor Matt Baker asked 9-year-old Drew Heredia what he would do if put in a certain position he was teaching.
“I’d get on my back and do a choke hold,” he said.
It’s the same thing Drew did last week when he saved a 12-year-old girl from being mauled by a pit bull. Using a tactic he learned in class, he put the attacking dog in a chokehold and held it for at least 20 minutes until help arrived.
“I wanted my son to be in this sport in case there was ever an emergency, in case he ever had to protect himself,” mother Amy Heredia said. “I thought he’d maybe use it as a man, but I had no idea as a child.”
