‘The children are entitled to better and so, too, is the public in general,’ judge says
A Surrey provincial court judge has issued a damning condemnation of a “long-standing historical epic failure” on the part of the Ministry of Children and Development to help a pair of Surrey children who were sexually abused by their dad.
Arthur-Leung said the “complete failure” on the part of ministry and a team leader attached to the case “is, quite honestly, incredulous. It has left both the mother and children exposed and has left this court with significant failure on the part of MCFD staff to provide services to the mother and the children to which MCFD is legally mandated to offer.”
Arthur-Leung said in her oral decision that “this file reveals a long-standing historical epic failure on the part of MCFD to not only provide services but also ensure the best interests of the children” and that there “is no excuse for this being consistently a failure on the part of the MCFD for this family.”
