B.C. children's watchdog slams government

CBC News
B.C. Representative for Children and Youth's Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has issued several critical reports on the government's implementation of the 2006 report. B.C. Representative for Children and Youth's Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond has issued several critical reports on the government's implementation of the 2006 report. (CBC)
B.C.'s children's watchdog has issued another scathing report on the province's child welfare system and its progress reforming its operations, on Monday morning in Victoria.
Representative for Children and Youth's Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond says the government has only fully implemented less than half the recommendations in the 2006 landmark report on the child welfare system by retired judge Ted Hughes.
Turpel-Lafond says she is deeply disappointed with the government's progress and is particularly critical of what she sees as a lack of accountability and oversight in the child welfare system.
She says the changes made in public reporting have met neither the letter nor intent of the Hughes report and the information posted publicly now is less useful than in the past.
She described the government's action as "vague promises that make high-level references to the Hughes review yet offer no detailed information, and at other times outright government dismissal."
In Turpel-Lafond's view, the Ministry of Children and Family Development has failed to meet the targets in its service plans, and that means troubles ahead.
"Difficult economics times can mean harsher realities for many of B.C.'s families. Poverty will deepen for some, unemployment rates will climb, and previously successful families may struggle. Social services may be required more often, and community supports may disappear. Stagnant or decreasing budgets will not be able to address the need of additional children and families," she said.
Turpel-Lafond has issued similar highly critical reports on the government's implementation in previous years.

Facebook Amber Alert page now in N.L.
N.L. police join Ontario, P.E.I., N.B. to widen search for missing kids
Last Updated:
Monday, December 20, 2010 | 5:50 PM NT
Newfoundland and Labrador has become the latest province to use Facebook's Amber Alert page to help locate missing children.
Canada is the first country to harness the social networking site's Amber Alert efforts.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and RCMP announced in St. John's
on Monday that both police forces have agreed to make use of the
Facebook page, which has the potential to reach 400 million users.
Amber Alert is an international system that uses radio, television
and electronic road signs to help the public provide information that
may help find missing children.
Ontario, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick adopted the Facebook alerts earlier this year.
Bill Smith, RCMP assistant commissioner, said Facebook will hopefully
help beef up police resources in Newfoundland and Labrador.
"It is an instant two-way communication with people across the
province and across the country, but we will still continue to use
traditional media as well," Smith said. The first hours after a chid goes missing are 'crucial,' said child safety advocate Allan McCullough. (CBC) Dr. Parry Aftab, who practises internet law, said the Facebook-police partnership offers the public more peace of mind.
"Knowing that it's [the Facebook page] there if your child is lost or
any child is lost in this province allows everyone to sleep a little
bit better at night."
Child safety advocate Allan McCullough said that when a child goes missing, time is of the essence.
"Seventy-four per cent of the time that a child is abducted and later
found murdered, they are murdered within the first four hours," he
said. "Over 90 per cent of the time, they are murdered within the first
24 hours.
"Those first hours are crucial in the safe recovery of that child,
and that's the power really of the Amber Alert and mobilizing all of the
citizens around helping the police find and safely recover that child."

CALGARY -- Five months to the day after a three-year-old tot died in a
drowning deemed accidental, her brother was found dead in his bed -- a
case ruled a homicide by Mounties.
Devastated family in Alberta, who said they repeatedly hounded
children's services in Saskatchewan, where the siblings lived and died,
want police to revisit the death of the three-year-old.
They want to know what, if anything, was done by officials to look
into their concerns about her brother before he was allegedly killed on
the weekend.
The identity of the siblings is protected by child welfare legislation. No one who would identify the children can be named.
In July, the little girl, who lived with her brother, father and his
girlfriend, was found unconscious in a container of water outside their
rural home, near Swift Current, Sask.
RCMP told family she was playing unattended when she fell into a trash can used as a rain barrel.
Skeptical of those claims and concerned about her brother, family in
Alberta repeatedly contacted children's services, claiming they were
bounced from office to office and given no assurances anything was being
done to allay worries about the surviving sibling.
When they went to his sister's funeral, the boy was not there and his father refused to let them see him.
In the months to follow, relatives said the father didn't let them talk to the boy on the phone.
On Saturday, their worst fears were realized, with the boy found dead in his bed.
Police won't say how he died, only that it is a homicide.
RCMP Sgt. Paul Dawson said police and the coroner's office deemed the
girl's death accidental at the time, but now they have not ruled out
revisiting it in light of her brother's homicide.
"Any time we are provided with new information if it is relevant, of course we will look at it," Dawson said.
Andrea Brittin, an executive director with Saskatchewan social
services ministry's child and family services division, said she cannot
speak to "specifics" on any individual case or "even confirm or deny
involvement."
She said when concerns are raised by anyone, it is "certainly our obligation" to look into them.
If a child who dies is involved with the ministry, or has been within the past year, an investigation is ordered.
"A complete and comprehensive review is done to look at the services
provided to the family to ensure if there are any lessons we can gain
from these unfortunate events," Brittin said.
The children's maternal grandfather and numerous other relatives said
any review is too late and they will never know if the little boy's
life might have been spared.
"I'd like to know why they didn't listen to us," said the
grandfather, who raised the children for months prior their father
taking them to Saskatchewan.
An aunt said she wants answers about what child welfare did or did not do.
"It breaks my heart," she said. "The last time I talked to (the girl)
on the phone I remember her saying, 'I love you, auntie,' and within
four months, she was dead.
"The sad part is, there is no reverse switch to bring these children back."
No charges have been laid in the boy's homicide.
http://www.torontosun.com/news/canada/2010/12/23/16653826.html
How disgusting that authorities did not take any notice of family members concerns. This should NEVER have happened. Surely they had to have been suspicious of the stepmother about the earlier death.

REGINA
— The RCMP in southern Saskatchewan is continuing to probe *two recent
mysterious incidents that resulted in one child dead and another in
critical condition in a Regina hospital. (* reference preceding post Swift Current RCMP investigate sudden death of a child)
In Fort Qu'Appelle, the
RCMP is looking into what led to an injured 18-month-old boy from
Balcarres to be hospitalized in Regina, where he is now listed in
critical condition.
The toddler was originally said to have
serious injuries when he was admitted to hospital on Dec. 19. But after
signs of improvement during his first days in hospital, his condition
deteriorated over the weekend.
"There's too many unanswered
questions right now and that's what we're trying to get down to the
bottom of: To explain . . . the injuries and also to try and explain why
the child is in the hospital," Sgt. Neil Tremblay of the Fort
Qu'Appelle RCMP said on Tuesday.
"They're trying to determine is
it the injuries? Is it a pre-existing condition? Is it a combination?
That's still very much in the air. The doctors are working hard to try
to get us some answers, as well as get him back healthy again."
Tremblay said the boy has bruising to his head and extremities, but there is not yet an indication of how it occurred.
"We
have to keep an open mind to any possibility," said Tremblay. "We
haven't discounted that it might be a criminal matter, but we can't
confirm that either."
Fort Qu'Appelle RCMP members were originally
notified by the Regina Police Service on Dec. 19 after the child was
admitted to the Regina General Hospital.
The RCMP soon discovered
that the child lived on George Street in Balcarres and was treated in

REGINA
— The RCMP in southern Saskatchewan is continuing to probe *two recent
mysterious incidents that resulted in one child dead and another in
critical condition in a Regina hospital. (* reference preceding post Swift Current RCMP investigate sudden death of a child)
In Fort Qu'Appelle, the
RCMP is looking into what led to an injured 18-month-old boy from
Balcarres to be hospitalized in Regina, where he is now listed in
critical condition.
The toddler was originally said to have
serious injuries when he was admitted to hospital on Dec. 19. But after
signs of improvement during his first days in hospital, his condition
deteriorated over the weekend.
"There's too many unanswered
questions right now and that's what we're trying to get down to the
bottom of: To explain . . . the injuries and also to try and explain why
the child is in the hospital," Sgt. Neil Tremblay of the Fort
Qu'Appelle RCMP said on Tuesday.
"They're trying to determine is
it the injuries? Is it a pre-existing condition? Is it a combination?
That's still very much in the air. The doctors are working hard to try
to get us some answers, as well as get him back healthy again."
Tremblay said the boy has bruising to his head and extremities, but there is not yet an indication of how it occurred.
"We
have to keep an open mind to any possibility," said Tremblay. "We
haven't discounted that it might be a criminal matter, but we can't
confirm that either."
Fort Qu'Appelle RCMP members were originally
notified by the Regina Police Service on Dec. 19 after the child was
admitted to the Regina General Hospital.
The RCMP soon discovered
that the child lived on George Street in Balcarres and was treated in
hospital there before being transferred to Regina.
Balcarres is located
90 kilometres northeast of Regina.
RCMP members searched the
child's home on Dec. 21, the same day members from the * Swift Current
area were searching a rural residence near Webb, after a 2 1/2-year-old
boy died there on Dec. 18. That day, RCMP members were called to
the home when the boy was found unresponsive following an afternoon nap
at the farm, located 23 kilometres west of Swift Current.
He was pronounced dead soon after.
The resulting autopsy led police to consider the death of William Michael Vayro a homicide. Vayro
was the second child in his family to die in the past five months.
On
July 18, his three-year-old sister drowned in a container of water on
the farm.

Over 50,000 Canadian families felt the stress and grief of a child going missing in 2009.
According to the 2009 Our Missing Children Annual Report by the RCMP,
50,492 children went missing last year. Of that total, 2,993 went
missing in Saskatchewan. The majority of missing children were runaways
with 2,149 in that category.
“Runaways are the highest percentage, and we want to try and focus in
on and try to prevent the youth from running away, and maybe getting
some knowledge and information about the risks of running away,” said
Crystal Hancock, the case worker and office administrator for the Child
Find office in Saskatoon.
“The missing children who are runaways come from all over the place …
we need to find the reasons of why they’re running away, and that’s
what we need to focus on to prevent them from running away in the first
place,” she stressed.

Ex-Orléans teacher sentenced for having child pornography
January 10, 2011
OTTAWA — A former Orléans elementary-school teacher was sentenced to nine months in jail Monday for the possession of child pornography.
Paul André Dumais, 34, taught gym and drama at Jeanne Sauvé elementary school prior to his arrest in front of students last March as part of a nationwide investigation into child pornography.
He admitted to possessing 170 images and 44 movies depicting children involved in graphic sexual acts.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Lynn Ratushny said she accepted an apologetic Dumais’ “repugnant” explanation that he never accessed the child pornography with the intention of harming a child, finding instead that it was a combination of “very bad judgment, curiosity and because of a naiveté of its evil.”
While Dumais had already suffered serious consequences, including the loss of his teaching career, Ratushny said a jail term is necessary to discourage others from committing similar offences.
“The images are of horrific violence being committed against innocent children by anonymous and depraved individuals,” said Ratushny. “Mr. Dumais was participating in the revictimization of those poor children in the pictures. He was viewing their non-ending virtual rape.”
Dumais, who sat hunched forward in the front row of the courtroom before being sent to jail, was also added to the sex-offender registry, ordered to provide a DNA sample and placed on probation for a year.

Delay Ashley Smith inquiry, family requests
January 11, 2011 | 1:00 PM AT
Ashley Smith, 19, of Moncton, N.B., strangled herself in an Ontario prison in 2007 as guards watched. (Smith family photo)
The family of Ashley Smith is asking for a delay of the Ontario coroner's inquest into the troubled teen's prison death because of her mother's heart problems.
Coralee Smith is recovering from quadruple bypass heart surgery that she had in December in New Brunswick.
She is asking the Ontario coroner's proceedings to be put off until March at the earliest to allow her time to heal so she can travel safely and sit through a stressful inquest into her daughter's death.
The Ontario coroner is considering the proposal to reschedule the inquest so it would begin early April.
Ashley Smith is the mentally distraught New Brunswick teen who strangled herself in her cell while in a full body restraint suit at the Grand Valley Institution in Kitchener, Ont., as guards looked on.
She'd spiralled into extreme anti-social and self-damaging behaviour after being transferred across the country 17 times, between various correctional facilities, during the last 11 months of her life.
In addition, she was restrained and injected with anti-psychotic drugs against her will during her stay at Joliette Institution in 2009, a move that one doctor has determined was illegal.
The inquest has already faced a number of delays, but was supposed to begin on Jan. 31, 2011.
The inquest is supposed to examine why Smith was transferred so many times and to probe the level of health and psychological help provided, including a look at questions around why prison guards were ordered not to intervene in Smith's self-strangulation attempts unless she had stopped breathing.

Inquest into death of Ashley Smith to start in April
TORONTO — A coroner's inquest into the case of a young woman who choked herself to death in prison is set to start April 4 and could last into 2012.
Ashley Smith, 19, choked herself with a strip of cloth at the Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener, Ont, in October 2007.
Lawyers for 10 of the parties involved in the inquest met today to adjourn the start date, originally set for January, to April.
Family lawyer Julian Falconer says one of the reasons he wanted the adjournment is because Smith's mother recently had a quadruple bypass and needs time to recover before travelling from New Brunswick to attend the inquest.
Deputy chief coroner Dr. Bonita Porter says the inquest will break for the summer in July and August and resume in the fall.
Various lawyers suggested the inquest would last at least six months and up to nine, but Falconer said it may take up to a year.
The inquest was originally expected to last three months, but the scope of the inquest was broadened in November.
When first announced, the inquest was limited to looking at the last 13 weeks of Smith's life -- the time she was in Ontario prisons.
Her family had urged the presiding coroner to expand it to all 11 months Smith spent in federal custody, saying that would provide an accurate picture of the mental trauma that led to her death.
Those 11 months included 17 transfers between prisons and other facilities across the country, and the constant movement meant the mentally ill woman never got the chance to be properly treated, the family alleges.
In the ruling, Porter agreed the inquest could reach even further back through Smith's life, to examine "factors that may have impacted Ms. Smith's state of mind" on the day she died, not necessarily restricted by "age, geography, date or nature of the institution that was tasked with her care."

Ashley Smith jurors barred from stark video
February 28, 2011
The inquest into the prison-cell death of Ashley Smith, 19, is scheduled to start April 4.
Prison video showing a teen inmate forcefully injected with tranquilizers while strapped to a stretcher for hours will not be shown to an inquest jury, say lawyers who are challenging an Ontario coroner’s decision to exclude key evidence.
Dr. Bonita Porter’s decision not to obtain proof of the “abusive treatment” of Ashley Smith only 90 days before she died in a Kitchener jail cell “runs completely afoul of the fundamental purpose of an inquest to be a public process,” said lawyer Julian Falconer, who is representing the teen’s family.
The inquest, set to begin April 4 in Toronto, has been called to probe the young woman’s death and make recommendations to prevent similar deaths.
Falconer and lawyers for prisoner and youth advocacy groups are challenging a decision by Deputy Chief Coroner Porter to exclude the video.
“There’s no doubt that Ms. Smith was a hard-to-handle inmate,” said Richard Macklin, a lawyer for Office of the Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth. “But on the other hand, the Correctional Service of Canada contributed to her being a hard-to-handle inmate in the way it treated her.”
During her 11 months in federal custody, the 19-year-old Moncton native had been transferred 17 times to institutions across the country where she was repeatedly kept in segregation cells wearing little more than a padded gown.
Video taken at Joliette Institution in Quebec should be obtained by the coroner and shown to jurors, family lawyer Falconer told the Star.
According to a psychiatrist’s report, Smith was doused with pepper spray and injected with four unnecessary doses of anti-psychotic medications after she removed a metal plate from a cell wall. The report concludes that administration of the drugs was unnecessary and against Smith’s will.
