“She carried a burden that was not her own”
Tina Fontaine asked for help before she died, was told no beds, says children’s advocate
A report was released today on the death of 15 year old Tina Fontaine, who was sexually assaulted, murdered and dumped in a bag in Winnipeg, Manitoba while she was in care.
The report lays out a couple of big key points: she was turned away several times when she went seeking help; she was told to go to a shelter and, on the night she died, she was left at a hotel.
This girl was in desperate need and she was abandoned by the child and family services in her province.
