The NDP are raising questions about the suicide of an aboriginal girl while in the care of child and family services in Sioux Lookout.
In the Ontario Legislature , critic Monique Taylor spoke about the death of Kanina Sue Turtle in October 2016.
“A video taken by her, recording her own death wasn’t seen by her parents until they received her belongings. The video shows Kanina was left alone in a back room of a home for 45 minutes before anyone came to check on her. By then it was too late.”
The Minister of Children and Youth Services Michael Coteau says the provincial government is working with aboriginal communities to develop strategies to battle youth suicide.
