Too little information on the way we treat kids in care
Tuesday, March 29, 2005

An excerpt:

VICTORIA - The Gove Inquiry, looking at the horrific death
of a little boy who should have been saved, was clear.
"Death and serious injury reviews should proceed promptly... "
The Liberals and the NDP both supported Judge Thomas Gove's
recommendations for children and families' reform.
Now it's ten years on, and a little girl is dead. Sherry Charlie
was only 19 months old when she was placed in a Port Alberni
foster home. Weeks later she was dead. Her foster father,
Ryan George, pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Sherry was
battered to death."
