Started by Alberta Child and Family First 12 years, 8 months ago

Premier Alison Redford and Minister Manmeet Bhullar


We request that the Alberta government hold a public inquiry into the unreported deaths of children in the care of government. These disturbing deaths have been kept secret from the general public and need to be brought into the open if the system is to have an credibility.

Updates

February 14, 2014

The massive surge in support proves that Albertans are finally fed up with the government hiding these tragic deaths. Premier Redford and Minister Bhullar can no longer ignore this outcry or pretend these children never existed.

These babies need love and protection not what this government deems "protection".

There needs to be more transparency and accountability on the side of the government and the families that foster. There should be change to the current status quo.

Children are our future. A public inquiry is essential as it assigns no blame, but determines better than any other process what actions need to be taken in a given situation.

In my honest opinion, I feel that the Roundtable discussion was very limited in impacting positive outcomes for the future and was disappointed that few public members were included. Exclusion of victims who can readily identify systematic flaws and offer viable solution is a tremendously dismal forecast that follow-through with promise of implementing better child welfare safeguards will actually occur.

There would be no question about an investigation of these childrne died outside of "care". That the public needs to intervene and apply pressure is disturbingly telling.

For the sake of the children in foster care and for every Albertan we must have the ugly truth revealed. If the people of this province are to have any faith in any government bureaucracy there must be accountability to the electorate.
