The province can delegate but not abdicate its authoirty in this role. In delegated agencies the hands off approach by the ministry for children and families simply adds another layer between the safety of the child and the investigative process. It is not a working policy with any record of success, why is it not being challenged?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-1161839360378874792006-10-25T22:09:00.000-07:002006-10-25T22:09:00.000-07:00So the Chief Coroner thinks his only responsibilit...So the Chief Coroner thinks his only responsibility is to the dead. On the Coroners Service web site their mission statement states ....to improve community safety and quality of life. Also based on his attempts to manipulate Morleys conclusions in her report, I also find it interesting that two of the listed values of the Coroners Service are Integrity and Accountability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-1161836924396257502006-10-25T21:28:00.000-07:002006-10-25T21:28:00.000-07:00Ms. Morley is a lawyer and her thing is alternativ...Ms. Morley is a lawyer and her thing is alternative dispute resolution. She had no prior experience (before becoming child and youth officer)in child protection, child fatality investigation, social work, forensic investigations or anything else. Her claim to fame is that she keeps getting invited to do reviews on these issues by government. It started with the Children's Commission and it just keeps going and going and going.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-1161796332051968302006-10-25T10:12:00.000-07:002006-10-25T10:12:00.000-07:00Ms. Morley has an article exclusive to the T/C thi...Ms. Morley has an article exclusive to the T/C this morning. She claims her report was not influenced in any way by the government and adrian Dix is wrong in saying they did influence her report.

Come on Morley, you are part and parcel of the problem, we know it, you knjow it, but you deny deny, as kids are still at risk.

From what she said I got the impression she was calling for removal of kids from a place where a death occurred soon as some doubt of the original findings were unearthed. Seems the coroner didn't think the Indian care system was up to the job. So somebody asked Les if anyone was going to get fired. Oh no says the Solicitor General, Morley hadn't fingered anyone as to blame. What a load of BS. But then again a lot of what he says is and has been BS.
