Albertans to debate child death review system.
For the record, the publication of naming a child in no way infringes on privacy issues if the child is dead. It lets JOURNALIST the opportunity to make a full record search as to the events leading to what happened. Similarly it makes accountability more transparent either from welfare records or parents and their lawyers.
As for a living breathing child, a case by case publication ban is warranted where logic dictates, but I stress is NOT TO BE USED AS A MEANS OF SHIELDING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS INFORMATION LEADING UP TO WHAT THE CHILD’S RECORDS INDICATES OF TRANSPIRED AND FUTURE EVENTS.
