Teen placed in CFS 46 times before death by overdose; report calls her care 'very disturbing'

The advocate released a photo and the first name of the girl, Angel, who died in September 2015, with a report that gives the Manitoba government six recommendations to address the "massive deficiencies" evident in her care and to help prevent such tragedies in the future.
