Male social workers needed

The province needs more male social services caregivers, states a fatality inquiry report into the murder of a Lethbridge female careworker by her client.

In the report into the November 2002 murder of Sharla Collier by Ira Badger, then 14, during an outing from a group home, it's recommended social workers of the same gender accompany clients "exhibiting a sexual pre-occupation or a propensity for aberrant sexual behaviour."
