"System has fallen apart”: 1 child dies every 3 days under Ontario’s care network, data shows
Every three days, a child who has been involved with Ontario’s care system dies, according to provincial data obtained by Global News.
The information captures children who died while living in care or with social work files that are either open or closed within 12 months of their death. The stark figures are causing alarm among advocates who say the government is failing in its most basic duty.
“We know that our systems are broken, so we need to ensure that we have these public inquests and that we look and see where exactly the system has fallen apart and allowed this young person to not get what they need,” Ontario NDP MPP Monique Taylor said.
Global's Isaac Callan has the details.
