When he was removed from the Foster Home in september he had a bite Mark on his Cheek and flaccid legs possibly As the result of Healing fractures. He was also the source says terrified of men. Inexplicably after a month of respite with another Foster family he was sent Back to the Home of Rod and Brenda Blacksmith. He died there two weeks later. When the ramp did their first investigation they did Clear the Foster parents says Marie lands ceo of the Northern Manitoba cos authority. As to Why the child was returned to the Home that is the reason. But Manitoba chief medical examiner or. Thambirajah bal Chandra has said the child had multiple fractures in various stages of Healing at the time of his death. It looks like everyone dropped the Case bal Chandra said. The child had fractures and no one followed it up. Ramp spokeswoman line Harpish says the Childs death is still under investigation As a possible homicide. Rod Blacksmith reached at his Gillam Home said he was under orders not to discuss any aspect of the Case offer any memories of Cameron or comment on whether the ramp consider him a suspect. I cant say anything right now he said. Maybe later ill have a lot to say. Initial reports depicted the blacksmiths As Loving Foster parents and a devoted mom and dad to their four biological daughters. But something dark definitely happened to Little Cameron. If bal Chandra is right and hers the expert someone May have abused the child Over a period of time. Cameron was a Ward of the Wasis cos Agency an organization that deals with the Northern communities of Shamattawa Cross Lake Nelson Lake gods Lake Narrows gods Lake Oxford House Fox Lake and War Lake. They have 593 kids under their watch. Since 2006, at least three Wasis children have died in care.

She could not say whether any staff members have been disciplined or suspended in the aftermath of the a abyss death. Right now were just catching up on everything after the holidays she said. The staff at Wasis we a vent been Able to talk to David Monias the Wasis executive director yet. Camerons death has parallels to that of two year old Gage Guimond killed in 2007 while in cos care. He had been taken from a Loving Foster Home and returned to family members. His parents and grandmother were unable or unwilling to look after him. Gage was eventually placed with a Distant relative. Sheds charged with his murder. Cos knew All the Way through that they were returning the child to a family Rife with alcoholism and drug use a situation where the Childs medical needs were routinely ignored. In this Case the desire to return a child to his cultural roots superseded his safety. In camerons Case however both sets of Foster parents and the child were of first nations ancestry. Cos had reason to take Cameron from the Home of Rod and Brenda Blacksmith. They Felt they had reason to return him. So How did the wee one end up dead Lindor. Reynolds free press. My.
