BC’s Child and Youth Representative has released her latest report into critical injuries and deaths among children and youth in care.
Since February, 119 critical injuries and 41 deaths have been reported, and reviews are underway in the case of 71 injuries and 14 deaths.
Those reviews will determine whether a full-scale investigation is needed if the nature of the injury or death is considered suspicious, self-inflicted, or if there’s any question about neglect or abuse.
