From what I've been seeing, the CPS/Foster Care/Adoption system is one of the real horrors that needs uncovering and reform. This article is just one example:

Consider the tragedy of 13-year-old Mona Sock, who died in 2007.

After reviewing Mona's death, the committee told the public there should be better guidelines for background checks on foster parents.

What the committee did not tell the public — but which CBC News has learned from legal documents and interviews with her family and the province's former child advocate — is that Mona lived in a foster home with a convicted sex offender, while under the supervision of a First Nations child welfare agency. It appears that no one did a background check on him. That man, Lonnie Francis, sexually abused her.

On the day her abuse was revealed to police, Mona hanged herself behind the recreation centre on Elsipogtog First Nation.
