WINNIPEG—Documents from an investigation into a Manitoba toddler’s death suggest child welfare officials knew they were placing the boy in sketchy homes.
The Winnipeg Free Press says the documents are believed to be part of ongoing reviews into the two-year-old’s death last July.
The newspaper says the documents show that Sagkeeng Child and Family Services took the boy and his older sister from foster care and placed them with their grandmother—despite repeated suggestions the woman was unreliable, unstable, and likely an alcoholic.
