Times Colonist says, "Report points to gaps in BC.'s child protection system ..."

This is a important story, that should be read.  In part it says ... "The report, So Many Plans, So Little Stability, says the baby’s file was transferred five times in four months between the Ministry of Children and Family Development and a delegated aboriginal child welfare agency. Eleven different decisions were made about where the baby should be placed, and 16 social workers had some involvement with the case."

I happen to believe that the care and concern we provide for the youngest, smallest, weakest in our society cannot, and should not, be race based.

Is there some kind of special care that whites can only give to white ... blacks to blacks ... first nations to first nations ... what about across ethnic and continental divides?? 

Far too many people were allowed to be involved in the process of ensuring care for this baby.  Our ONLY real concern and goal should be how to provide the best care and safety to children and the young. 

In my opinion, insisting that care only happen within direct ethnic communities, no matter which one(s) they are, is a continued recipe for disaster.  Regrettably, we will continue to hear of more deaths.
