Alberta teen’s fatality inquiry to find solutions to protect children at risk: judge
An Alberta education official told a fatality inquiry Wednesday that different rules were in place in 2013 that allowed a malnourished 15-year-old Calgary boy who died of sepsis and untreated diabetes from being seen by school staff.His parents, Emil and Rodica Radita, who were found guilty in 2017 of first-degree murder, refused to accept the boy had diabetes when he was initially diagnosed in B.C. with the disease in 2000.
He was hospitalized twice due to malnutrition and taken into foster care before later being returned to his parents, who moved to Calgary in 2008. Alexandru had been registered in a distance learning program at The School of Hope online school for Grade 5 in 2009, but didn’t submit any work during the school year. His registration was withdrawn at the end of the academic year and he wasn’t registered again.Christine Bouchard, the field services manager for Alberta Education, explained to the inquiry the various types of online courses available for students learning at home.
Provincial court Judge Sharon Van de Veen asked Bouchard if the boy’s education at The School of Hope was supervised in 2009.More on Canada
