Episode Details

Two children in foster care in Newfoundland and Labrador allegedly endured abuse for two years—undetected due to catastrophic failures in oversight. Critical protocols were ignored, interprovincial placement agreements never signed, and social workers went 22 months without contact.

Child advocate Wilma MacInnis has issued four urgent recommendations to fix systemic gaps, demanding stronger coordination, better tracking, and enforceable agreements to protect vulnerable kids moving between provinces.
