Manitoba’s child welfare system suffers from excessive workload, lack of training and confusion about standards — but an inquest report says people, not the system, failed Phoenix Sinclair, the five-year-old murdered by her mother and stepfather. “I do not find evidence that these organizational challenges had a direct impact on the services that were, or were not, delivered to Phoenix and her family,” Commissioner Ted Hughes finds in his report on the inquest into her death. “I believe that the social workers who testified at this inquiry wanted to do their best for the children and families they served, and that they wanted to protect children, but their actions and resulting failures so often did not reflect those good intentions.” globalnews.ca/news/1119989/final-report-into-phoenix-sinclair-murder-released-friday/
