https://mkonation.com/mko-calls-for-urgent-investment-in-child-welfare-services-in-northern-manitoba/

Further to my post yesterday..#mko represents #Treaties 4, 5, 6 and 10. The #childadvocate is quoted as urging the #mbgovt to do something.

All I see, again , is #nahannifontaine (#ministeroffamilies) showing up to #boujee events looking like a fashion plate, baking cakes, and using trendy songs to clap back at her detractors. We need action NOW. Kids can't wait. What has really been done?

CW: The article contains disturbing child abuse, resulting in death. #TriggerWarning.

The placement was approved by both #BritishColumbia Ministry of #Children & Family Development & the family service’s department of the boy’s First Nation, but the report says the ministry did not complete #BackgroundChecks or visit the home before the siblings were moved there.

Charlesworth said the lack of communication, #DueDiligence & #DueProcess would “prove to be a massive error” because those in charge of the boy’s safety could have learned the woman had prior involvement with the ministry over physical #abuse of her child & there were documented concerns about her partner’s “conduct with children.”

Oranga Tamariki are in the news again... this time for not knowing how many of the children in care have had their yearly health checks and dental checks. They've had years to find out. And yet, they still can't get their sh*t together!
