Ministry of Human Services’ Response to the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate “9-year-old Bonita serious injury”

Description

In 2013, a nine-year-old child living with her parents in her First Nations community was taken to hospital, where it was determined that she was suffering from septic shock as a result of severe dental decay. Inadequate housing, school attendance, neglect, parental addictions and chronic poverty were all noted concerns that were being addressed by several service delivery partners within the community. This report provides the Ministry response to the three recommendations made by the Office of the Child and Youth Advocate.
