Parents fight for change after 13-year-old girl dies in Abbotsford homeless camp : vancouver

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, her parents receiving the heartbreaking news in late August. >"I thought no, this isn't possible," her mom said through tears. >Despite the difficulties Brianna faced, her mom described her daughter as sweet and kind. The two still texted or spoke every day and her mom would visit her at the camp. >But the family said despite their love for Brianna and her love for them, it was not enough to stop the demons of addiction and mental illness that stole her childhood and ultimately her life.

I've noooticed in all these cases the parents, rather than parent their children, send them away to some group home that can't (in many cases legally as well as practically) from running away. The kid is too far from home to visit any of their known associates (so you can't ask them to help find the kid) and they're gone like a fart in the wind.
