“The death of this young person is a tragic accident and my heart goes out to those who knew and loved this youth.
“Whenever a young person receiving services dies, we carefully examine the circumstances to explore how we can improve our policies and practices to prevent similar tragedies. The Child and Youth Advocate is a valued partner in this work.
“While the Advocate has made no recommendations in this case, we are committed to ensuring that our child intervention system is responsive to the complex and diverse needs of children and youth.”
