Advocates say public needs to report cases of child abuse and neglect
FREDERICTON — Advocates say a horrific case of child neglect in New Brunswick is far from the only case in the province and are urging the public to report any neglect or abuse they see.
Two recent reports have highlighted a case in Saint John where five young children were left in a situation of filth and squalor where they were malnourished, suffered serious dental decay, and missed long periods of their schooling.
New Brunswick Child and Youth Advocate Norm Bosse says he knows there are other cases out there, and the public needs to report anything they see in order to protect children.
