This is an article about a video about a group home run by Specialized Foster Homes in Brandon. It has been under fire for allowing the youth to do drugs as well as employing abusive staff.
The video states that Specialized Foster Homes let the children engage in illegal activity and use drugs. It also states that it employed staff that were under investigation for abuse as well as not providing criminal record checks their employees. The agency had been under 5 different provincial investigations and 1 from the children's advocate.
First Nations Family Advocate Cora Morgan said that the investigations should be public and is quoted as say "mainstream society needs to know, because you know I want to believen the days of residential schools mainstream society wasn't aware what has happened to these children."
Jesse Dourado wrote an email stating "our first priority for us and our team is always the safety and well-being of the children."
Specialized Foster home continues to provide services to youth in care and recieved 1.5 million last year.
Bernadette Smith CFS critic for the NDP asked why Child and Family Services continues to employ Specialized Foster Homes.
Minister of Child and Family Services Scott Fielding bullshitted everyone including himself by saying "protecting vulnerable children is something we take very seriously."
Yet the results of the investigation will not be made public.
Why does Child and Family Services continue to avoid public scrutiny ?
Are they afraid what we might find ?
