Opinion: Perhaps too many find government care so bad, they\u0027d rather be homeless
During those nine months, four of the lost kids died.
Lost kids are required to be reported to the representative within 24 hours. That happened in less than a quarter of the cases. The remainder were filed between two and 2,187 days after the disappearances. The average time was 53 days. These days, so-called care can include being housed in a shelter, a hotel or even living alone on a “youth agreement.”
Their disconnection is exacerbated by a chronic shortage of social workers, poor retention rates of experienced ones, conflicted collaboration among professionals who are often at odds over what’s best for the child, and a general lack of services, particularly in the areas of mental health and addictions.
It signalled for him not only contempt for what little they had, but for those displaced children themselves. It’s why he constantly scoured thrift stores for suitcases and backpacks. And why he helped children carefully pack their belongings in them.Charlesworth wrote that there are still many good people working in the system. But it’s a system that continues to fail when it comes to deeply traumatized, troubled and vulnerable children.
Yet, as Charlesworth pointed out, the B.C. provincial policing standards define a “missing person” as “anyone reported to police or by police as someone whose whereabouts are unknown, whatever the circumstances of their disappearance, and who are considered missing until located.”
