Woah. Don't be naive. Serenity died in 2014. Her death had absolutely zero bearing on any change in the organization, in fact it would almost appear that it was entirely trying to be swept under the rug. It's almost entirely certain that there would be no report on her if not for Del Graff and we woud not have known her name if not for Paula Simmons. It took over three years to get the medical examiner to release anything. It took longer still to get a report to the RCMP, which wasn't readable...and only came after media picked up on the story.
Only the most optimistic people in the world could read about the issues with the handling of Serenity's death and believe that it was incompetence. A more realist would have to believe this was corruption by an organization to try and hide and bury her death. And they nearly succeeded. Before the media picked up on the story, they were actively denying reports to Del Graff...the ####ing Child and Youth Advocate for Alberta.
Of course this goes beyond the NDP. Serenity died in 2014, the last time a social worker had checked in on her was 2013. Before that she was 'forced' into the kinship care program because her mother's only other choice was to give her up for adoption. There were many people who failed Serenity. But the fact is the organization was denying reports to Del Graff, the ####ing Child and Youth Advocate for Alberta. Imagine the type of despicable people it took to try and hide the abuse and death of a four year old from the man who's entire job is to look at situations like that in order to try and prevent more from happening. Despicable.
The organization was entrusted to Irfan Sabi as the Minister of Human Services. It was his responsibility to do something about this, heads should have rolled if he actually gave two ####s about the children he is suppose to care for. If he isn't going to do anything about the, at best, gross-negligence the organization has shown over the past four years in dealing with Serenity, then it falls on Notley. Her statement of faith on Irfan Sabi, shows she doesn't give a #### about Serenity or the unfortunate children in similar positions. Everyone's just protecting their buddies instead of caring for the aboriginal children who are being abused daily.
