Parents fight for change after 13-year-old girl dies in B.C. homeless camp : canada

In the end they ended up withdrawing the bill because drug policy "advocacy" groups (the usual players like Pivot legal, the "Canada drug policy coalition", "Moms stop the-harms", etc intervened and said that this bill would erode the rights of drug users, infantilize them (even though this bill was specifically for literal children….), and would go against "harm reduction principles". Many of us would argue that the best way of reducing harm to a child would be to have them off of drugs altogether, rather than letting them repeatedly OD, but we weren't well funded lobby groups so the BC govt didn't listen to us and ended up towing the line of these organizations.

NGOs are a fricking menace. get woke to the NGO question, these people will do anything to perpetuate their own careers, if their chosen problem is ever solved they'll be completely out of a job.

This never happens

That's a rough 13

The Quebecois coping about how their pathetic social service is hilarious.

"I begged them not to let her leave. I mean, I begged them and so did her dad. And we tried really hard. We said she's not mentally capable. She was sticking pencils through her hand when she was in the psych ward there," her mom said.

The family wanted her held involuntarily so she could get the help they said she desperately needed. But the family said they were told Brianna had the right to decide herself, despite her only being 12 years old at the time.

Some months later, she became violent at home and her mom ended up in hospital. Her mom said with other children at home, she couldn't keep Brianna there if she was using. Brianna was moved to a youth centre in Abbotsford, but ran away. She ended up living in a now-dismantled Abbotsford homeless camp. She died inside her tent

As always the parents pawned her off on the state and them when the state also doesn't want to deal with a violent uppity 12 year old.

Never, never put your children into state care. If nothing else at least if they runaway from their home they're libel to end up staying with people you know or know of, instead of randoms in a city
