The report calls for stronger provisions, monitoring, and expectations between provinces.
This province’s Child and Youth Advocate has released an investigative report, called “Off the Radar” after getting information regarding the maltreatment of two young children. These children were in the care and custody of another province but had been placed in a home in Newfoundland and Labrador where they stayed for nearly two years. When young people are placed in alternative living arrangements, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)UNCRC is clear that they have the right to special care, protection, monitoring, as well as the right to decisions being made in their best interests. These rights become even more critical if a child must be moved between provinces and when communication is inconsistent or inadequate the potential for harm to children is inevitable. The report calls for stronger provisions, monitoring, and expectations between provinces. The safety, well-being, and rights of children depend on systems getting it right and “not letting children fall off the radar.”
