When first responders rescued a three-year-old boy from a squalid apartment in Kingston, Ont., last Friday, the superintendent of the building said the child was naked and covered in feces. The boy's baby brother was found dead. A shocking case of child neglect that left a baby dead and another child abandoned in a Kingston, Ont.
A sixth child, the eldest, was fathered by another man and was given up for adoption along with one of his half-siblings. "They were always happy," he said of his two youngest boys. " love playing and laughing and being tickled, being around people — very smart, resilient, always had a smile on their face."
Family and Children's Services of Frontenac, Lennox and Addington said in a statement it is aware of a tragedy, but could not comment because of privacy considerations. "We've been hearing a lot of screaming," recalled one neighbour. "Like constantly screaming. Children's aid — it's been called numerous times on and they don't do nothing."
"I said, 'That can't be true because they would be here removing the children,'" the woman said of her conversation with the superintendent.
