How Could You? Hall of Shame- Canada-Alberta Foster Child-Child Death

This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Alberta, Canada, “Alberta’s child advocate is calling for improvements after an eight-year-old in a group home died from an overdose of sleeping medication.

A report from Del Graff says the unidentified girl had complex needs and was on various medications.

A worker at the group home found her unresponsive in bed in early 2014.

Police investigated but could not determine how the overdose happened.[Um…they gave her too much medicine!Duh!]

Graff says the provincial government needs to ensure all caregivers follow medication policies.

He says an internal government investigation found gaps in the group home’s medication procedures, although changes have since been made.

Graff further recommends the province have a wider range of specialized caregivers and train all frontline child intervention caseworkers to better understand children with disabilities.”

 Wow! They couldn’t even prosecute any caregiver. Surely they know which caregiver gave her the overdose! Poor Accountability.
